I finally have a reliable internet source. Woot on that! I was afraid that it would be ClearW’re all over again. I must say ClearW’re was easier to set up. But it sucked on connecting to more than one computer and the connection was super slow when it did connect and you had to angle it just right for it to be picked up all that.
So I knew I wasn’t going to go back with them, plus they are pretty expensive when you start going up in connection speed. Instead I went with AT&T, I knew Jen had them so I was like I’ll try them. Considering what I was looking for they were the less expensive. $37.95 a month. This was for their basic speed without a phone line. Timewarner would have been $50 after the first 3 months. With bundling other services, I didn’t want a landline. I don’t talk on the phone enough to warrant a landline on top of a cell phone. And cable is provided with my rent.
So my first receipt as I told you guys were that it was suppose to be activated on the 11/13. Which was very confusing since I was during self activation and set up. Anyway I stayed home Friday waiting for a package/person to come and set it up. But nothing happened. On top of that I had homework I needed and I wasn’t being able to connect to anything after I posted on here. Well I wake up today intent on cleaning the whole place. But first I wanted to mail one of the Netflix movies. So around 11:45 I went out and noticed I just missed the mailman which meant he wouldn’t be picking up my movie. I was rather sad, went back to my door and there was a note saying that he had tried to deliver my package but no one was home. Um…dude you didn’t even knock…how rude.
So I shuffled up to the office where he had left the package…which is weird since he was just now leaving my building and going to the next one (read: he totally left the package up there before he left the note on my door…jerk). I get the package back home and start set it up. But it’s like call this number to register service. Well I call but my cell phone doesn’t have access to that number. Gah! So I call the help line…an hour and half later I’ve finally got everything set up. Most of that time was spent talking to a machine that kept going in circles. The man who finally talked to me was name Bob…how great is that?!
So far I’m liking the speed. I haven’t tested it on GuildWars yet because I couldn’t find my copy or my dad’s copy of XP so I have to go buy it from school. It’ll only cost $5…in theory. I’ll probably have the IT people do it, that way if something weird happens they already have it. And be responsible.
I’m going to do a post with the cake pics from yesterday now. ‘kay bye
