BT Broadband

Posted Mar 7th, 2009 by Conor in in BT,My Slow Connection,internet

Finally I can say that I have broadband. This new theme reflects my current mood!

It’s brilliant just being able to surf the net and look at stuff instantly. I remember having to wait like five minutes for a page to load… Thank god that’s over. What to do now? No doubt that I’ll be bored of the Internet in a week. i think i’ll just set up all those things that I was deprived of during my phase of slow Internet.

World of Warcraft! I am going to leave it downloading tonight, there’s only another GB left of download! Can’t wait to get started with this game it’s just the €10 a month fee that’s putting me off slightly. I’ll just have to keep going on a 30 day trial! Google Reader is another one, read all my feeds from one place. Oh and I can now look at slashdot! Also I can get around to setting up my new recently acquired domain name; macaoidh.mp

Had a hell of a lot of bad experiences with BT down the line though. They have left a lasting impression anyway if that’s what they were trying to achieve! One phone operator actually told me that I was lying on the phone. It’s great to build up relationships with your ISPs! :-)

I’m on the 1mb package at the moment which is fast but not very fast. Next month I will be upgrading to 3mb. Now that will be good. Now I better get back to staying up all night on the Internet.

Broadband Ahoy!

Posted Jan 28th, 2009 by Conor in in My Slow Connection,internet

I’m getting broadband, even better I am getting allways on wireless broadband!! About time if you ask me!

This big step came about when I got sick of my crumy speeds using the 02 modem, which is very susceptible to the weather and that’s not been good lately! Anyway I had a long phone call with 02 and somehow managed to get rid of my 12 month contract with them three months in!

Then I went looking for a broadband provider. I opted for BT (Yes I know their british but their cheaper!). Unfortunately this bears another massive blow to me financially. I recently spent all of my money on an Oxegen ticket! woop woop! So I will have to figure out a way of earning €50 a month. Not a bother to me, don’t be suprised if you see me out begging on the streets though!

Our line has not been active for like 3 years so they have to send someone out to activate it (2-3weeks) then put the order for the broadband through (max 2weeks). But the main thing is i’m getting broadband and that kicks ass.
