SHOUTING THREAD [More:]
SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY COMPANY THAT OFFERS BROADBAND INTERNET TO MY APARTMENT IS YGNITION, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $50/MONTH FOR 3MB DOWNSTREAM SPEEDS WITH SOMETHING LIKE A $40 INSTALLATION FEE. FUCKING EXTORTION. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THEIR SERVICE SUCKS ASS TOO - THEY SIGN CONTRACTS WITH APARTMENTS AND RUN A T1 LINE INTO THE COMPLEX AND EVERYONE FEEDS OFF THAT. OBVIOUSLY SERVICE IS GOING TO BE SLOW AND TERRIBLE JUST WHEN I NEED IT MOST.

APPARENTLY SOME PEOPLE IN THE COMPLEX HAVE VERIZON, BUT WHEN I CALLED VERIZON SAID THEY DON'T OFFER SERVICE TO MY APARTMENT. MAYBE I LIVE JUST OUTSIDE RANGE OR SOMETHING. MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T WANT THE HASSLE. WHOEVER IS IN BUILDING 20, DAMN YOU FOR POSSIBLY FALSE HOPE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. I CAN'T SIT IN PANERA OR BORDERS EVERY NIGHT TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING I'M NOT ALLOWED TO AT WORK. CAN I GO YELL AT THE LOCAL VERIZON OFFICE? ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH LIKE, CELLPHONE BROADBAND? (BUT I REALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT MY WII ONLINE TOO...)
anyone ever used these people?

NO I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO A FUCKING RELIGIOUS CEREMONY FOR OUR CONTRACTORS, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS EVEN ASKED. FUCK. WHAT YEAR IS THIS AGAIN?

What about cable or a landline phone? Or, did I miss something?

Verizon has cell phone broadband but it is $90/month and a limit so low that I would probably exceed it just from my participation on Metachat. You certainly wouldn't be able to use anything like hulu.

Now when I rent, the first thing I research is broadband availabilty.

CAN I WHINE? IS THAT OKAY IN A SHOUTING THREAD? CAUSE I WANNA WHINE!

I WANT TO FOCUS ON SCHOOL, BUT I CAN'T GIVE UP MY DAMN DAY JOB AND I HAVE TO DO ALL THIS CORPORATE CRAP I DON'T REALLY ENJOY ALL SO I CAN MOVE UP A CORPORATE LADDER THAT I CAN'T ACTUALLY CLIMB AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF CLIMBING ANYWAY!

I JUST WANT TO BE A FULL TIME STUDENT AND WORK PART TIME FOR BETSEY JOHNSON AND CALL IT GOOD. BUT, NO, STUPID ECONOMY DICTATES THAT I KEEP PLODDING ALONG AND DOING STUPID SHIT SO I CAN BUILD UP MONEY IN CASE PIE CAN'T GET A JOB AND I LOOSE MINE. I WANT US TO BE SAFE AND I'M REALLY LUCKY TO BE EMPLOYED, BUT THAT JUST MAKES IT SUCK MORE THAT I CAN'T JUST GIVE MY FIANCE MY JOB. whine

FUCK YOU FUCKING MICROSOFT FOR RELEASING AN UNREADY OPERATING SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY FUCKING DRIVERS.

FUCK YOU FUCKING HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS FOR NOT RELEASING ANY DRIVERS GIVEN THAT FUCKING MICROSOFT HAVE RELEASED AN UNREADY OPERATING SYSTEM.

FUCK YOU FUCKING PC ASSEMBLERS FOR RELEASING A FUCKING PC WITH AN OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE DISK THAT DOESN'T FUCKING SUPPORT THE FUCKING HARDWARE.

FUCK YOU FUCKING ISP FOR SENDING ME FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT FUCKING OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE CABLE MODEM YOU SENT ME AND REPEATEDLY SENDING ME THE WRONG FUCKING DISK AND TELLING ME IT WOULD FUCKING WORK.

FUCK ME FOR TRUSTING FUCKING COMPANIES INSTEAD OF DOING MY OWN FUCKING RESEARCH.
