My mom signed up for AT&T as an Internet service provider...she was told it was "faster" and cheaper than SuddenLink, so she went with it, without consulting me. She got a one-year contract... I was worried. I didn't wanna go back to the days of downloading stuff at 30 kB/s...
Well, looks like those days are back. After a lot of frustration in dealing with DSL crap (I've never dealt with DSL before), I finally set the AT&T connection up...was it worth the trouble? Hell no. Obviously, we're back to the days where it takes 3 days to download a season of anime. It's faster than what we had before before, but only by like 10 kB/s. Now it's 40 kB/s...and that's nothing compared to the 120 kB/s we were getting with SuddenLink.
Now, I shouldn't say "were getting", because she hasn't canceled SuddenLink yet...but she will eventually...Damn it! THIS SUCKS SO FRIGGIN' MUCH. I am ROYALLY pissed off right now.
There's a notification on the DSL modem that says "leave on for 10 days to maximize connection." Hopefully the connection isn't at its max speed...but I kinda doubt it'll get up into the 100s of kB/s. It'd be great if it did...but hopefully my mom won't cancel SuddenLink for 10 more days...just in case.
The termination fee for her AT&T contract is 99 dollars...I got paid 150 dollars for that airport website design I did, and I want fast Internet so bad, that I offered to give all that to my mom to just cancel the AT&T crap. She refused.
God damn it! THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH. I can't stress that enough. THIS SUCKS THIS SUCKS THIS SUCKS THIS SUCKS.
I guess I better download all the shit I need tonight before SuddenLink suddenly goes bye-bye...Fuck you AT&T.
I'm going to miss this...
