Internet woes!
Nov. 10th, 2012 02:51 pmMy internet connection has failed on the 12 July, the 1th August, and the 12th of October (not sure what happened on the 12th September). This month it seems to have failed 2 days early. And this always seems to keep happening on Fridays. The ISP is closed for the weekend.
I find this very frustrating. There's a limit to how much I feel comfortable leeching off my neighbours.
What's even more annoying - I have a PAYG dongle. I was getting inexplicably free access with that but it wasn't going to last, so I tried paying for a recharge. My card was refused. Contacted the bank. Got through to the lost cards section and was transferred to a new voicemail system that had nothing to do with what I wanted. Tried again. The lost card section was the one I wanted.
Apparently my address is wrong. I didn't give them my address! But my bank can't deal with that.
I then tried to use roaming internet. This is expensive but I can afford 2 quid for a day's frugal internet use. Worked for about an hour. Now that's not working either.
