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...)

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
