Internet servers (a bit of a rant).

Post by Specterz »

Well hi there.
My internet has been out for quite a while.. I finally got it up and running again today.
Why, you ask?
Apparently, our internet provider updated their servers with some sort of...update. I dunno. But, this update is not compatible with the router we, and many other people, use. We needed to download a patch for it to function properly.
But, did they tell us to download this thing before they installed the update? Of course not! So, we had to download a patch, without the internet actually working.
It makes me mad. Would it be so hard to send an email to all their users? It would have saved me the trouble of finding someone who didn;t use the same router as us, and had a cd-burner to get the patch to our home pc.

Sorry for the rant, it just makes me so ANGRY.

My internet provider's generally pretty good...except for the time they shut our house down becuase our computer had too many viruses [blushes].

Your provider sucks. IMHO. :)

Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"
