After that eventful lunch with Toe, Verns, Sngl & Annamanila, I got the recommendation of switching over to Smartbro, so that I can finally get back to my online life (and my blog). So I happily went off to the Smart center at SM North Edsa and happily paid the subscription fee.
Things went on smoothly at the start. The linesmen went to my place over the weekend and installed everything. I was so excited that I started texting everyone left and right that I was gonna be back online soon. To my dismay, they couldn’t get my connection up. They kept on insisting that they had to automatically detect the settings of my connection protocol, when in fact that was what wasn’t working in the first place.
Grrrr… they claim that they don’t have a master list of different addresses to give me, but they have the same list to give to PLDT myDSL users! Then the guy from customer service says: “Sir, kung di po maayos, i re refund na lang po namin yung pera nyo.“Gaaagh! Why are some people just plain <insert cuss word here>?
This is torture… *sob*
