And I'm like *flicks wifi switch*
But yeah their customer service is shit. I had an argument with one once because there was some kind of glitch that wrecked our connection (three days without internet, I was ready to /wrist) and the guy on the end of the phone (Indian called Michael, lol WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS INDIAN WHY CAN'T I TALK TO SOMEONE ENGLISH) told me to use an ethernet cable. I'm like "well there's more than one machine to connect" and I got fobbed off with a load of bullshit about how ethernet is the best way to connect.
I'm like YES I KNOW BUT I'M PAYING YOUR SORRY ASS FOR WIRELESS INTERNET SO I EXPECT WIRELESS GODDAMN INTERNET
IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE I'M PAYING YOU FOR I'LL JUST HALT THE PAYMENTS
He's like "is ok we fix soon"

I have this problem a lot. I actually get the "Sir, I can't understand you." more than I have to tell them that.
Also the stupid steps they make you do, even if you told them you've already done it.

Yeah, it's very irritating.
When I cancelled AOL I had to argue with one of them over it.
I think his name was "Rick" lol.
He actually got an attitude with me.
I think he cussed at me but I couldn't tell he was talking too fast.
Also, fobbed is an awesome word.
<.<

Best one of those steps I've been told to do before was to take my computer apart o_O Had a laptop that completely died off. The fan stopped working and the motherboard melted. Used a different computer to email the company (Hewlett-Packard) and the response from one of their technicians was that the hard drive "may have gone bad" and that I should try taking it apart and putting it back together.
I'm like "Won't that void my warranty?"
They're like "Yes."
I'm like NOEP.

I had a dead pixel in one of my monitors and the guy told me to turn it off and see if it was still there.
Years back I had an HP computer that the fan on the video card was going out and making a horrible noise, it took me 4 tiers of tech support to get someone that could understand that computer fans, in fact, could go bad and I wasn't just imagining it.

Ha, it was actually an acer monitor. They wanted me to pay shipping both ways, on a 27" screen. It's absurd what they try to get people to do for a warranty.Kinda like my old Acer. Again, the fan went shitty so I contacted them to get a quote for fixing it since at the time I couldn't find my warranty. Their quote was £650.
The laptop itself cost £399.

here's my home connection. To anyone getting under 2MB/s on a cable line, you should post your modem's line strength. Under 2 meg a second download is unacceptable.
Point a browser to 192.168.100.1, there might be a status/signal pane, that's what you want.
(cover your MAC address)

For whatever reason mine will only show me receive/Transmit levels, but we're also looking for SNR (signal to noise ratio) and whatever else it'll put out there.
