I'm finally back on the Internet!!!!!!!!!

After 6 months of deprivation from the internet, I can finally breathe!!! Woohoo!!!

The reason why I've been internet-less for sooooooo loooooooonnnnnnnggggggggggg, was that 1st, BT was super difficult to reach. I had to call a couple of times in order to reach the right contact person, and had been put on hold for around 2 hours for more than 1 time!!! Then, because the BT engineers doesn't work after office hours, someone had to take an off day from work just to wait for them to turn up to install the line! Apparently, good service is number 9870990890980 on BT's priority list. Customers are probably ranked 9870990890961.

Then, when we finally got a land line for internet, we couldn't really decide on which broadband plans to take up! Different from Singapore, UK companies doesn't always provide a router by default, and many plans have limited download of 8GB per month! I can use that up in maybe like 5hours!!! Even those that claims to be unlimited usage will limit your access speed if you take up too much of their ultra precious bandwidth!!!

And when we more or less decided on which plan to take up, we decided that we wanted to move house when our lease ends in mid February. So... basically... we wasted $$$ getting a land line, and had to suffer from the lack of connection with the outside world...

And when I finally moved house, my laptop crashed! The lousy Toshiba motherboard burnt out after just 2.5yrs!!! So... I had to get it sent back to Singapore for repair. (Special thanks to NivelK!!!)

Anyway... I'm simply relief that I can finally surf the internet at home!!! :D
No more illegal internet usage in the company! woohoo!!!
