No... web... month... :| | The Coffeehouse

If Blackberrys are addictive cellphones, Channel9 is the ultimate addictive website.

Looks like my 7-days without internet have been extended to a whopping MONTH.

This is awful: No internet = no Xbox Live, either. And no working on Continental 8, and having to use schools computers to sift through my 200 junk email a day - something Outlook usually does for me. This SUCKS.

Basically, we needed to change the name on the phonebill, so we phoned BT and told them they didn't need to change anything when we changed the name on the bill - as we were instructed to do by TalkTalk. But of course, BT did change stuff.. and now we've got to re-register as new customers because of stupid conflicts.

*sigh*

(But: 1 June = Laptop day! Once the web gets back, I can order my brand spanking new HP tx2050 Smiley

)

I graduated from High School in 1979, never saw a PC.
Phones still had rotary dials! :O

Better idea: use this outage as an excuse to terminate your contract with TalkTalk and go with a real ISP (and not a BT Wholesale reseller either). Suggestions include:

Demon
Zen
Be Internet
Or heck... even Sky (they've got highly-rated customer support)

With me it's a full-time job.
