Language Warning

There year is 2019, and down here in Australia we have a fuckup called the NBN (National Broadband Network). We all have to switch to it, from ADSL2. Promised dreams and joys, only to be fucked again and again.

Paying $89 AUD per month for 25mbps, however only getting 0.61mBITSps at times. (Literally can see it at home.danferg.com)

Call up support. "Have you rebooted your router?" Yes. "Have you done a test?" Yes. "Can you send me the screenshot?" No, I did it through the CLI. "... What's a CLI?" Fuck.

"So.. have you got a test?" Yeah, I have 7000 of them, from each minute of the day for the past while. *Silence* "oh.... Ok well, we'll have to see if you qualify for a discount" DISCOUNT?! GIVE ME MY FUCKING MONEY BACK.

    Welcome nbn whore!

    I've found TPG pretty damn reliable, despite the dropouts when IP changes occur from time to time, somehow that takes 10 minutes to sort it's self out 🤦‍♂️

    But are you fibre or hfc?

    Wait a minute.. you are about an hour away from me 😦
    God damn I haven't felt so unanimous around here before.

    Screenshot your cli and sent it to them, you can't expect a customer support to understand your technical terms

    I did 👍 did a dump and sent it to them.
    And... You should when it's a network engineer... Youd hope. (Sorry, should have elaborated on that)

    My fiance next to me died, asking me "who did you send your dump too"? 😂 She's not a dev

    Who ever your isp is, I would send them an actual dump too for over charging 😂 Is it Telstra?
