You see, I called up a hapless technician because my supposedly uber-fast plan is actually uber-slow.
After almost 20 minutes of being constantly put on hold and told to do all manners of ridiculous things WHICH I HAVE ALREADY TRIED FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY, I snapped.
"You are throttling my connection! The SEVEN MEGABYTE download started at 15KB then went down to 0.3 in 10 seconds! An hour has passed and still the SEVEN MB FILE HAS NOT FINISHED DOWNLOADING!"
"Try opening Speedtest.com, ma'am..."
"I can't even open Speedtest.com! Do you know how many nights I've surfed there to diagnose the proper snail's pace your connection is going to? I can't even see the latency! I go take a bath, make a coffee and come back...your SPEEDTEST ISN'T EVEN SHOWING THE LATENCY!"
After my yelling and giving him the answers to all the questions I know he's trained to ask (because, oh God in heaven I've talked to so many like him), he finally told me he'd reset my location.
Right. And wait another half an hour.
To probably be told the same f'ing tripe again.
Dear DiGi. I love you. Unlike the other two telcos, you may be slow but you are dependable. EDGE is an aging technology but at least I know that I can send email, surf and not wait an hour to find my SEVEN MEGABYTE DOWNLOAD STILL HASN'T COMPLETED.
I shouldn't need to have TWO internet connections because one is sure to screw up on me. But that's Malaysia for you.
