Grumble
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Bitchy rants
Hate my ISP. Hate it hate it HATE IT!

See, when I first moved out here everything was basically fine. Sure, living out the sticks means having to sacrifice a couple things here and there, but I can survive. Plus, the Fivearea Telephone Co-op made a perfectly fine ISP at the time. Dialup may be slow and kinda lame, but it managed to get me internet and keep me happy.

Not so anymore. I don't know what happened - now it seems that at least once, and usually several times a night I get disconnected because their modem gets bored. And then sometimes instead of just disconnecting me their modem sits there and idles for a few minutes, then works for a bit, then idles again.

It's pissing me off. If Fivearea wasn't the only game in town we'd have switched by now. Hell, I've been disconnected 3 times tonight already, and their lamer modem is in random idle mode right now. I may have to hit the posty button a good 3-5 times before this post makes it to the blog, and then it'll probably double post so I'll have to delete the redundant one.

*Sigh*
