Forum Overview :: =( :: Ruuuu internet, modem cacked.

[quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"]Over the weekend it started disconnecting, I thought it was just our BITTORRENT torrents requiring powercycles until it happened more than twice, then more and more, until Monday, a work day, it wouldn't connect at all. Monday afternoon a guy showed up and replaced it with another modem, an hour later that "new" modem died. I got another new one from an uncle, and it's working so far, so it's either going to die later or it won't, it's like Schrodinger's modem except maybe not who cares.

(5:48:31 PM) <font color="#6a887a"><b>Kered Cloudsong</b></font>: i wonder what would happen if you went a week without the internet (5:48:41 PM) <font color="#6a887a"><b>Kered Cloudsong</b></font>: two days in you'd shave (5:48:48 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: :( (5:48:52 PM) <font color="#6a887a"><b>Kered Cloudsong</b></font>: 3 days you'd go back to college (5:48:59 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Probably the opposite. (5:49:00 PM) <font color="#6a887a"><b>Kered Cloudsong</b></font>: four days you'd have a wife and two kids (5:49:14 PM) <font color="#6a887a"><b>Kered Cloudsong</b></font>: by the end of the week you'd own a home The tech support people told me I would have to just buy my own modem because the warranty expired, which is bullshit, so I'm going to just tell them that the phone line is fucked up if the next modem dies so that they have to send someone to go over the entire place, while I work, which I had to blow half the day on tech support trying to get someone to hurry up and fix this, which they don't seem to want to, but they better because otherwise I can't even work. Another gay thing is that when the work program fails to connect, it freezes up when I try to send a dictation back. After all this I still have like $1,000 in hospital bills that I'm paying off, plus the house thing. The lesson is that we should never go more than one second without the internet (fully addicted to the internet and we need it to live). It's hard to compare to being locked in our room our canceling an ordered pizza, but I'll just say going without the internet is one of the worst things ever. It's not even a relief to get it back, because there's no reason to never have constant internet access (and be tweeting and socially networking and uploading and/or downloading information).[/quote]
