@bubbyt20000 I hope you didn't scream at the the internet tech that you may or may have not called. I hate being yelled at by my customers.

@cabal Wait, people over there buy routers through the ISP? Not by themselves?
-
@nerthos Most ISP lease modems. When the customer call reporting unable to access the internet, by-passing the router resolves the issue unless we see that the modem is not connecting to us. Then they blame us that the router isn't working and threaten to cancel.
-
@cabal Here we just buy the modem routers ourselves (at least the people who know enough to navigate through an installation manual or know someone who can) to avoid the two weeks of wait until the ISP sends someone. Not a fault of the IT guy, but of the bureaucracy.
-
@nerthos Weeks? We dispatch within 24 hours. What ISP do you have?
-
@cabal Dispatch!? Black Ops biz.
-
@cabal Telecom/Arnet. It's the same with all the major ISPs in the country, though. At least the service these guys provide is good.
-
@cabal Anyway both my dad and I are technicians so if the problem is from inside the house it will be fixed in two hours or less.
-
@nerthos What country is this? The FCC or the local PUC will fine us if it took that long.
-
@cabal Argentina. If there's one thing in this country that sucks, it's the internet. Our work laws and regulations and plenty of other things are awesome, but the internet sucks.
-
@nerthos Perhaps if you guys spent less time on the Falklands issues and more on your infrastructure, you could have a stranglehold on Fiber in all of south america.
-
@cabal Hahaha, actually the people, or at least those with a brain, couldn't care less about those isles. That's just something the current (and proably most crappy in the last decades) president uses as propaganda to please the mindless cattle of the country. You won't find a single person with a brain and morals in this country who supports her. I'd overthrow her and hang her by the legs for treason, like Mussolini, but I lack an army.
-
@nerthos I mean... think, you could have your very own trans-Atlantic-africa lines!
-
@cabal I know, but tell the government and the cattle. The democratic model implemented here just plain doesn't work. This whole country is ripe in resoures and water, but it's driven by what could be considered a blind drunkard. Had I the power to change it, I would in a whim.
