So the retarded fucknuts at AT&T have decided to make my life even more miserable after switching to their crappy DSL service. I turned off my connection three days before they were to switch on my new one as directed, but then on that day they called to say they wouldn't be connecting me for another week.

So, six phone calls later to eight different idiots both in India and Indiana, I'm set up with a dial-up account to use until next week. I've never used the modem in my computer (I'm not actually sure where it came from) and it appears there is a good reason- it craps out on me randomly. That, and the 26K connection speed I often achieve, make this experience lovely.

Not that there is a communications monopoly or anything, but their website says AT&T, the DSL billing and line service is through Yahoo! internet, and the email that comes with the account has an SBC domain. There service is cheaper than all the other ones, but the level of bullshit I've had to put with already is making it a bad investment.
