@matigo you seem to be hitting the bed rather late these days.
@peemee This made me laugh so hard. That’s what it means for the moment at least. Been hearing mixed reviews on NBN and its speed compared to cable. We’ve never had anything go smoothly with Telstra.
@hybotics Hindsight is a wonderful thing. You can’t dwell on it. Would’ve been funny to see the keys thrown on the floor inside the room though as a final ‘screw you guys, I’m done’. 😁
@hybotics I’m just really glad you’re out of the house of hell. I’m glad things have worked out.
@matigo Yep, that’s one of our main service providers. Won’t mention names but @peemee will know exactly who I’m talking about.
@matigo It’s really not. When you start having debates with yourself over a situation that you can’t control, that sucks. Then when you ask the questions to gain some clarity on the situation and still get nothing, it sucks equally as hard. Lucky I got some of these today too:
Oh, that's right. I guess I should explain why I'm still online … today has been a day of brain farts.
So last night I mentioned the NBN1. was being connected today. As it turns out, our request to be switched to NBN was rejected and we were never told. I even looked up our address and this is what it said - now the waiting game begins. But I'm glad to still be online.
in ordinary terms this is the process of changing from cable broadband to a hybrid fibre coaxial connection to the internet
@sumudu very nice. I'm just relaxing for a bit before bed. I'm keen to write tonight so we'll see how that goes.
@matigo I equally hate that mentality of passing it off to someone else just because you can or 'it's their job'. I reckon if you've exhausted all avenues and you still can't get anywhere, then ask for help. Sure, asking for help off the bat may help you not waste as much time, but you've basically learned nothing.
That is pretty much why I won't call IT until I absolutely have to. The fact that they will deliberately ask all the stupid questions that you've more or less troubleshooted for yourself already. It's frustrating.
