  1. Re:My story on How Cable Monopolies Hurt ISP Customers (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't, I do $1,000,000+ in sales per year from my small shop and because it of its location. If the new connections doesn't work out on Wed for some freaky reason my only other option is Rogers (Ugggh thoght I was rid of them for good) Rocket Hub but that means spending $400 on the hub and paying up to $100-150 per month for wireless internet. One bonus is for $15 extra I can get voice and used my phone system and get rid of the Telus $87 per month "business" phone line.

    I tried to hook up the debit machine through the merchant providers (TD Canada Trust) system but it wouldn't work, and they were 100% useless trouble shooting as she barley spoke English.

  3. My story on How Cable Monopolies Hurt ISP Customers (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Over 4 weeks ago my ADSL line started to have basically 70%+ packet loss. I called in the ISP (independent wholesaler from Telus) and did the normal trouble shooting. A few days later Telus tech came in (Telus owns the lines) and did a bunch of work. My phone was disconnected for a while and he tested the modem synch with is fancy pants device. Said ok all's good. I was a bit busy with customers so after some time I tested out the line. Nope same a before. Called the ISP, had them put in an updated on the ticket to Telus. Telus comes back says, sorry customer equipment problem. I tried a new modem, router, and hooked up the modem directory to my shops dmark. Anyways same shit. So another tech comes in, its been a week or so with no usable internet and lost sales as my debit machine wont connect. Long story nothing, same shit. Now I'm getting pissed off and Telus keeps saying customer problem. Fuck so I hired a phone line tech. He came in and we went into the building telephone room (Equipment in this room is owned by Telus) and we disconnected the Cat 5E line going to my suite and connected the modem right to the Dmark. Well same shit mostly packet loss, internet hooped.

    So phone the ISP back and they put in a ticket explaining what I did and they are requesting a port change. Two weeks later Telus has refused to send anyone over to put my line into a new port. I'm fucking loosing it now with no debit machine sales and ADSL is the only internet option here and max speed is 6mbit.

    So the only option that we now have with Telus basically ignoring the problem, is the ISP ordered a new ADSL line, telling Telus its for a bonded system and then when it gets provisioned we'll cancel the old line as the new one will be on a new and hopefully new port.

    Now here's a kicker. The line started to act a few days before Telus was installing Fibre in the area and in my building. I'm the only suite with an ADSL line from an independent wholesale ISP everyone else uses Telus as their provider, they have no issues with their internet connections only me and Telus refusing to fix their equipment.

  9. Although I'm a computer geek and love to build websites, do computer graphics, build 3 game maps using NetRadiant, run Linux game servers and mess around with scripts like Drupal I can't program my way out of a wet paper bag. I can do graphic design, fix anything on my car but when it came to programming I just can't learnt it at all. When I took German in high skool I was able to pick it up pretty quickly in one year, although French was a bit harder for some reason. Trying to learn JS, perl and PHP to where I could write my own module or script has proven to be futile, my brain just sees gibberish when I look at code.

    Got some powder. I just did smaller amounts to get a nice feeling. I know from past experience you can get cranky as hell a few days after E but with small amounts if was interesting how clear my head was for a few days after wards but there was a issue. If I did enough to really start feeling it my heart would race and get some crazy palpations once in a while. When you're 20 you don't care but at 42 lol the irregular heart beats are noticed more.
