….and it is all Streamyx’s fault.
See, the DSL light has been blinking. I’ve been told by many people that it’s Streamyx’s fault. Not my modem’s. It happened right after a thunderstorm, where nothing got shut down.
So I called Streamyx.
Their first excuse was that it would take 24-48 hours. This was last Tuesday.(a week ago.)
Then I called back and they said it would take 2-3 working days because the cable needs to be replaced.
THen I called back on Friday and they said that they found out that the ‘exchange’ on their side is down because of data overload.
Then I called on Sunday and they said that it will take 1-2 weeks. (this was when I cried on the phone.)
Then I called back the next day and they said that it would be done by Tuesday(18/9/07).
Then I called again and they said that Malaysia does not have any of the cables. And they are currently importing it in from China………….. to which I asked, “Is the plane flying yet?” and they were like, “I’m not sure, Maam,”
WAHT THE FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKIN FUCKKkkkKKKKKkkkKkkKK……
I am so fucking internetless that i am going crazy…
The only thing that keeps me sane is this weekend’s dental dinner. A night to dress up and walk around in high heels. OH SUCH FUN!~ >:(
were you being sarcastic?
jo: ehhee partly sarcastic..

oh.. hey.. you know what you should do. make sure streamyx doesn’t charge you for the period that your internet’s been down.. i mean seriously, what a rip off.
jo: it’s too much of a hassle;(
–
rawr.
it happens all the time.
seriously. streamyx have been domineering the unlimited internet market for too long. monopolizing everything till there’s no improvement at all. seriously. what happened to jaring and maxis? why aren’t they working their butts up to be on par with streamyx. then they will improve their services with more competition.
yeah you shld make sure streamyx doesn’t charge you for that period. MAKE loads of noise. WRITE TO THE STAR (you sort of write for them rite?). hahahaha. and complain!!!!!
jo: haih hopefully Wimax will be goood:(

jo: lol surprisingly their tech support was really patient with me

hello jolene, i read your featured article in nuffnang, and yes i am a fan. New convert, still, fan!
You’re doing dentistry in aimst. It was then i realized that you’re that lady who blogged about dentistry, who wore a bra on her head. i knew you were familliar! My mother printed out that blog entry to enlighten me (not about ill effects of blogging lah. about dentistry) ok.
if fate decides to be cruel and i cannot get into local uni to do dentistry, i shall be heading to where you are. to stalk you. i mean, to be your junior.
people will make fun of me, honestly. aimee studying in aimst. very makefunnable.
jo: hello there! I am extremely flattered by your compliments..:)
Hahaha..wtf? bra? damnnnn.. that must’ve been like two years ago. Oh? She did? The one that I wrote about my entire year one?
hahaha.. i welcome u with open arms..:) dentistry here at aimst is starting to look up. the crowd is getting bigger.
lol. true that. Aimee, Aimst. 🙂 just the last two alphabets.

That might actually drive me insane! Oh my precious internet!
jo: it’s a sign that it has taken over our lives!
–
hey dear! yeah i agree, write a complain to Rage or in fact just The Star itself, and make sure that they DO NOT CHARGE YOU for these few days/weeks that your internet is down!
Hope everything goes well, other than your internet-less life!
jo: hahaha..quite malas to do all that now..:(

How about getting Maxis’s 3G broadband or Digi’s EDGE? For the same price, you get to use the EDGE all by yourself and anywhere as long as there’s coverage. That means blogging in the bus when you are on the way back!
jo: not expensive one meh?
