| 00:28.19 | kergoth_ | heh |
| 00:28.23 | kergoth_ | that was odd |
| 00:28.27 | kergoth_ | they asked what isp i have |
| 00:28.29 | kergoth_ | er |
| 00:28.31 | kergoth_ | what os i'm running |
| 00:28.36 | kergoth_ | windows.. what version |
| 00:28.37 | kergoth_ | i say linux |
| 00:28.41 | kergoth_ | they say "even better!" |
| 00:28.47 | gb2 | who's your isp? |
| 00:28.48 | kergoth_ | cant say i've had many customer service calls like that |
| 00:28.49 | treke | tjat |
| 00:28.52 | treke | that's odd |
| 00:28.58 | kergoth_ | ygnition, they do service for apartments and condos |
| 00:28.59 | gb2 | kergoth: i get those with speakeasy techs |
| 00:28.59 | treke | I generally reply with Windows XP :p |
| 00:29.15 | gb2 | kergoth: since i know how do real packet debugging |
| 00:29.24 | gb2 | "my gateway isn't responding to arps" |
| 00:29.30 | kergoth_ | hehe |
| 00:29.44 | kergoth_ | i didnt want to confuse them at first |
| 00:29.46 | kergoth_ | i'm like "pages are loading slow!" |
| 00:31.01 | treke | lucky bastards |
| 00:31.07 | treke | earthlink support is utterly useless |
| 00:31.08 | gb2 | i found it helped when i told a verizon tech i worked in the telecom industry |
| 00:31.47 | treke | woah. speakeasy supports my area now... |
| 00:32.08 | gb2 | he then told me he's worked there 8 years, the other techs totally screwed up my ticket, he's fixing it, and he felt it's probably good to go out by really helping someone, said he was going to quit verizon. |
| 00:32.27 | gb2 | treke: they're not the cheapest, but if you look at it as getting what you pay for, it's worth it imo |
| 00:32.36 | treke | gb2: I've hated the service I've had. |
| 00:32.54 | treke | the only reason I stuck with it is that verizon/earthlink were the only two providers in the area |
| 00:33.05 | gb2 | speakeasy gives you static IPs with reverse dns available :) |
| 00:33.11 | treke | yeah |
| 00:33.34 | gb2 | grr, my gf still isn't here. |
| 00:33.45 | treke | gonna give them a call and make sure this isnt a fuck up in their web form thingy |
| 00:47.14 | gb2 | there. 2 loads of laundry in |
| 00:47.20 | gb2 | they raised the price per load a quarter! |
| 00:47.22 | gb2 | grrr |
| 00:50.04 | NeoTron | checking DSL availability is a bit tricky fo me because we use a VoiP phone service (vonage) so I don't have a "real" phone number for the area we're really in |
| 00:50.43 | NeoTron | of course comcast cable isn't bad at all |
| 00:50.56 | NeoTron | 370 kbps download, not so good upload for 40 bucks a month |
