Alright, I haven’t made a blog entry in quite some time, and I realize that neither have the other writers. What happen nothing new happen in technology for the past 2 months? What about the Phenom debate? Intel’s announcements? AMD-ATI vs Nvidia… cho anyway

This post though after my 2 month sabbatical is aimed at ISPs. All of us have to go through them… well if it wasn’t for them none of us would have access to the internet would we? But how does your ISP treat you really? Well I can talk from a Jamaican perspective and say that we are treated like the extreme bottom of the pile people. Lots of our isp’s (especially the two major ones locally) dont even spend half the time or effort in developing solutions as they should, for the average subscriber.  But why dont they? I guess the regular average joe is important, only businesses require any amount of special service.

I write this because currently my ISP whom shall remain nameless has refused to repair my internet service which is now down for in excess of a month (or was it 2). What geek can really survive without the information available on the internet? I cant think of even one. I’ve been forced to live on other people’s internet connections and public wifi spots etcetera. And to add insult to injury my same ISP had the balls to send me a bill for last month’s internet usage (i think i managed to download about 8 mb worth of information last month… I normally do that in a matter of minutes). So of course the next logical choice would be to simply switch ISP’s, go to somebody who will at least show me some level of respect, right?

Well the only other choice I have advertises that they are the top alternative BUT they are not available in my area. In order to get their service I will have to wait until next year June or thereabout, what is the point of an islandwide advertising campain when your service is only available in one (small) part of the island? This is the BS which the average joe has to go through. So what do I do in the meantime? Now you all understand my predicament. I am now one of the weakest people in my mmo guild, i havent gotten to properly update my anime in a while and or my music library.

The only way I can assume I will get internet service sooner than next year June is if i can manage to somehow convince all the big businesses to open offices where I live and force some form of action… *sigh* anyway i’m tired, i have work to do and i cant bother wasting my time typing about people who dont even have enough time to fix a simple problem for me however I do hope that they remember, the businesses of tomorrow are started by the same average joes that are getting the shitty service today.
