The state of British ISPs. Sheesh. Ever since Pipex were taken over by Tiscali, my line speed got worse and worse, at the same time as their customer service got worse and worse. Finally I also had to lie and say I’d done everything, and even that didn’t cure it. In the end I switched ISP and haven’t been happier since Mrs Doyle fell off the window ledge.

Oh yeah. I’ve had that before. ISPs and BTs are continuously blaming each other, and they both have the worst support in the country.

I tried to flip to another ISP one time, and BT ended up half-uninstalling my phone line, and I couldn’t get connected to either for a good few weeks. Ended up having to go back to my old ISP because they broke the new one..

I love every single word of this post so much it hurts me. I think of this post when I’m not around it, and when I am, I think of nothing else. This post completes me.

Fuck the ISPs in the ear, while jamming hot toothpicks under their grasping cocking fingernails.

Good bloody work, my son. Sing it from the piss-drenched rooftops.

I’ve found that the worse thing about ISPs isn’t the inability to recieve the speed they claim to provide: any internet savvy user will be aware of that. The worst thing about them is their complete inability to provide even the most minor customer service. Despite paying nearly a hundred pounds in various forms to Mr. Branson each month, my parents still get almost no customer service. When will that end?

Yeah, I almost went with weasel, but then I pictured a weasel:

And pictured a stoat:

Yeah, the state of the ISPs’ and their service to customers is appalling. I live almost exactly 50 metres from exchange, my advertised speed is 8mbps (my internet claims I’m getting 8.8mbps), in reality I’m lucky to get 3mbps.

It is a droller word, even, than the more common ‘weasel’.

(Without sarcasm.) That is some brilliant morality writing. Always good to hear.

Harsh. But fair.

Well done on the showering everyday too. Finally…
