Posts Tagged “TISCALI SUCK!”

  

Well, it’s been a painful last couple of weeks; especially leaving Tiscali!!  They even had the gaul to switch off my Internet a day early too!  I musn’t grumble though, because I am now back with BT (I know they aren’t the cheapest..but still they offer a much better service than I have enjoyed of late) - not least a download speed of 7.1 Meg out of a possible 8 Meg!! which personally is astounding considering the distance I am from the exchange!!

Let’s see if that rate will remain in the coming weeks or whether it is just a fluke following my first connection.  One thing I don’t like is the apparent lack of control over the BT Hub, much of the advanced features are beyond my visibility; given that I am a technical support engineer this is rather frustrating.  Though the plug and play aspect of this does compensate to a degree.  I have to say these home hubs are aimed at the less than technically minded (for a change).

Here’s to a weekend of fast online gaming!!

I am full of a cold, and more than a little miserable now, no thanks to TISCALI!!!!  I have been without an internet connection since last Thursday, and over six phone calls later they advised, “oh it must be a problem with your phoinepoint on the wall, not supplying power to the modem”…  

 …Um HELLOOOO!!!  I am speaking to you on the same bloody phoneline!

So what a shock it is to find it “mysteriously” working again tonight when I tried once more in vain (I thought) to reset the router.  Oh well, as soon as I get my MAC code, I am off!! 

In other news, I cooked a big Christmas Dinner for mum and dad, who came round because I was “on-call” and it was really nice, turkey, roast beef, all the veggies (and sprouts of course!) and mince pies :) mmm……will be eating turkey for the next few days at least…Merry Christmas to everyone (belated I know but hey - blame Tiscali!! No please…send em a nasty email :) )…and I happy New Year, I just hope I feel better in time for New Year, I am suppost to be going to a party!!!!
