As most of you know, I've been having problems with my local internet provider since Memorial Day weekend. Yesterday, the line from Pratt to Wichita went dead & I called them to ask how long will it be down this time. They had to wait before a serviceman from SW Bell came to town to work on it. Knowing that SW Bell are slow to get anywere especially since their local office was closed down about 10 years ago, I signed up with another local internet provider (funny how a year ago there were four of those fuckers & now there is only two).
First off, the second IP asked me to fill out a three-page contract (the first one had a one-pager). Then when they asked me if I used Windows '95, I told them I used Windows ME. They looked dumbfounded & I explained it was Windows Millinium Edition. They still looked like I was from Mars. Of course, being the fact that they were two older women which one was had to be past retirement age probably didn't help.
Here's the kicker: everytime I take the time to read any damn text for longer that a few minutes, I get disconnected. I made sure that the modem's "disconnect if idle for 60 seconds" was unchecked as well as the "enable idle disconnect" on dialing properties.
Just the time it took me write this, I've got booted off again. This is really annoying the hell out of me. I'm going to have to call them & bitch.

Never give up.. Never surrender.
The techie stirred here finally and mumbled to me about those. Port speeds are a major culprit with some dialups.
