Broadband Mayhem
31-07-09
Wilt has had a fairly major office server maintenance MOT, this combined with an unrelated ISP* mixture of an entire loss of service or restricted service – what should be a 20 megabits services is running at 0.5 to 1.5 megabits per second. That is not good and very sloooooooom! In fact it is crap. It reminds Wilt of dial up via AOL in the early 90’s – very quirky, very slow and frequently just simply not available. In short, total shit. However Wilt has got a major part of his bill for services repaid – he can now afford a few extra ciders at the pub! Mmmmm.
In summary, one day when the whole office network was just not accessible as the techies did their work and then combined with the Internet Service Provider* having a bad hair day, or in fact several bad hair days limited Wilt in his duties – it is predicted it will not be fixed until 3rd August at the earliest, and Wilt aint convinced that will happen, so please understand limited productivity.
His access to the web is therefore rather limited, frustratingly slow and a pain in the proverbial. He cannot be bothered any more to try to upload article items or snippets and will instead do some work – damn!
And it is a Friday for Gawd sake! Work! Shit! I will however clock out at 16:00 hrs and share a few news stories, politics and critical analysis of certain beers on offer at the local watering hole with friends – then walk home leaving the car. If anyone wants to join me, I will see you at the Ferkin Gawd Help Us Pub on the High Street. Just put your drink bill on my tab!!
See you anon once the ISP* gets its firkin act together and put me back up to 20mbits (perhaps Monday, perhaps not) at some stage – either way the dorks at the ISP* aint getting paid! To be fair the ISP is usually fairly reliable and unlike most they do actually provides a near 20mbits connection speed.
Time for lunch – I think Pasta! Mmmmmm.
