I live in Seoul as well. I talked to some of my coworkers (I work at a large computer company) and we have not experienced the problems you are having. Maybe you should switch service provides. Also, if you are having problems, you should call the provider and ask them to take a look. They usually have pretty good support service.
But if you just like to complain.. whatever floats your boat.
Go to CMU's CS Program iff you are passionate about computers. The education they offer is second to none; however, if you are not willing to eat/breath/be a computer for four years.. it may be a very long four years. (it was a very long 4.5 years for me)
If you are passionate, I'd recommend CMU. All my peers who were super-techno-dweebs (I say this in a very affectionate way) CMU was a place where they could really come into their own.
If you still waivering or on the seesaw about what you want to major in, I'd think twice about CMU. There is very little time to take non-computer-related courses. Don't overlook universities with substantial core curriculums.. you may think they are dumb (as I did when I got out of highschool) but in retrospect, I truely wished I was forced to broaden my "horizons". You want to major in something that excites you.. not just amuses you.
This is all in my personal perspective. Choose wisely!
