a little story
Well basically got to a QS Final
and had excately seven days to play it in and this week my family also went on holiday! Nice an easy, well i thought....
but... on Tuesday my net went down, so i did all the checks, restarted my router (spent like 6 hours trying to sort it out) ... so i then phoned NTL my ISP told them all what i did, and they were
"You are not your the account holder so i cant help u / do anything for u"
and with my folks on holiday its only been sorted out today and i have missed my chance to pwn in the final!
so there is a saying that comes to mind!

Well, I work for an ISP, and I can tell you we are a bunch of jerks. Live is rough, m8! |

So you think the mention of my employment was superfluous? |

Sry the result turned out the way it did, soultoken, but I'm glad you're ok. When you dropped so completely like you did I wasn't sure work had called you away, family emergency made such a silly thing as BB seem a waste of time, or something even more dire...you just didn't care. But you're ok, you do care, and now the fire is lit for next year's FC. Feel free to boo against Bytez0r in every match he plays in, and be sure to cheer for the Weapon Masters. |

NTL has been quite reliable for me lately. Good job cause I cancelled the internet with them on 3 seperate occasions, and they still bill me, and the internet still works, so I gave up calling the mofos as I was getting to the stage where all I wanted to do was swear down the phone, then smash the phone into plastic shards and go on a killing spree.
I have rage issues
Still, I feel for you. As a service provider they leave a lot to be desired. My tv and internet went down weekend after weekend for 3 weeks on the trot, and no customer services on the weekend of course... which is why I tried to cancel.
They can't even get that right
Best of luck with 'em... mine's not bad right now... *fingers crossed* |
