ARGHHHhhhh!!! ;oP
Hehe, now that I've got THAT out of my system. ;o)
Yerrs... so the GOOD news is that I seem to have found a way to wire the
internet so that it works almost properly. It's got me bamboozled that the
internet works when wired direct, the phone works on VOIP, and I've tried
two line filters, and still the main phone line won't work, but the point
is that the group should be better until it's resolved, I think, unless it's
just pure luck. The internet is going near full speed though, and hasn't
done that for a good couple of weeks.
So the tech was supposed to arrive between 5pm and 7pm, which meant I had
to get an hour off work. At 6:40 I called the telco who said that the tech
had been dispatched, but the telco isn't allowed to contact them until they
are officially late, ie after 7pm. So I call at 7 and speak to a girl who
puts me on hold to contact the tech, and then the hold music disappears and
after about 5 minutes I hang up and call back. I speak to another girl who
then explains that it's too late, the tech won't be attending. I explain
that this is unacceptable, but she insisted that it was, and that is how
telecommunications works here.
So I told them I would pay for after hours after this girl kept saying "I'll
let them know you'll prefer a Saturday" and I kept saying "No, not prefer.
I can't take any more time off work. I can ONLY do Saturday or after hours".
This went through several repetitions until I emphasized after hours to her,
mostly just so she'd take the word "prefer" out of her message.
Anyhow, enough already.
Annoying.
Cheers,
Kim.

I'm sorry to hear about you having to waste so much time on this, but we
sure do appreciate it. It seems to be running swiftly now.

Yes, it's better... still dodgy though I'm discovering, which at least
confirms that the line is bad, but also means that service might still be
a little patchy until fixed.
How annoying. ;o)

Kim,
I know you're doing the best you can and I appreciate
it. I look here about five time per day. It's my refuge
on bad days. =20
I'm here for you if your revised setup calls for a little cash.
