  4. Fraud on TELUS Forcing Customers Off Unlimited Plans · · Score: 1

    I lost an isp that way once a lONG time ago. I had a static IP on dial-up and they wanted it back so they made up a reason to dump me.

    One evening my modem was connected but no data activity. They said that violated the "unlimited use" clause, since i wasnt actually using it.

    Bastards.

  5. Comcast *says* I have 10MB/s on East Coast Broadband Fastest In USA · · Score: 1

    But they wont let me actually use it :)

    All kidding aside, when its actually up and running ( goes down 10x a day ) i might get 1MB/s.

    Never had a lick of trouble for nearly 10 years with the provider they bought out.

    We are making an assumption the can even understand our technology by then. They could be light-years ahead, or behind.

    At least with a stone tablet, all you have to do is look at it. ( ad figure out the language, another barrier future readers will have )

    If you are in IT at all you tend to be less happy.

    An actual deed hadn't been singed yet as the house wasn't complete ( tho it was damned close at that point ). It was still just a contract to build, and intent to take possession.

    And i agree easements are part of life now, but not the middle of your yard like an island!

  19. No, if linux fails on If Linux Fails, Blame Jim Zemlin · · Score: 1

    There was no market for it.

  20. Re:Looks like we've moved from NIMBY to BANANA on Telecom Rollouts Raise Ire Over Utility Boxes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I actually rejected purchase on a newly built house for a reason like this.

    They neglected to display the fact that there was going to be a monster power transformer in the CENTER of my front lawn, where a tree was supposed to have been according to the contract. ( monster = 3x3x3 )

    They waited until the house was almost finished then stuck it in and claimed they didn't have to tell me about any easements or changes in the plot. I threatened to sue them under breach of contract as i waved the plot plan in the air, and they just sold it to someone else.

    If its *my* property they can take a flying leap.

    That should remove it from your lawn rather well.
