This side up doesn't work for me

Hello!


How are you guys?


- "Don't how are you guys me!! Tell us about the optical highway!"


Why is it always me? Have I done something wrong? Why must the universe always go against my plans? How I done something wrong in this life? The universe always has it against me! And I don't remember ever having kill somebody or take candy away from a baby. All I can tell you is that there are some peoples that are born lucky and there's some of us that are lucky to be alive...


Yesterday the technician from Bell comes and starts working on my Bell line, he goes out of my apartment to find the main box for my line. Very professional, very courteous guy, he had me up and running in about half an hour. My high-speed was working properly, so he tells me to test it while he goes to his truck to run some final test. So I did, wow! Was it ever fast, I was zooming along at incredible speeds, so what that my upload speed wasn't being met I was still going faster than I did before! I was in heaven, dear Lord finally something is going right in my life!


Walks in the technician! It seems you cannot have that speed, I was doing some tests from my truck and it seems the modem is flaky and might freeze son you sooner or later. No, no! So what are you going to do? He then tells me that he can give me back my old modem and up my speed to 16 Mbps not the 25 that Bell had promised me. So he did! Now I got a faster connection but it's not the optical high-speed I was expecting, apparently I live too far from the optical fiber line which is about a kilometer away from here. Fuck! That's all I can say, my connection is faster but it's not the speed I was looking at yesterday. You know? I could have discovered the cure for cancer at that speed, I mean God knows I have the time and with a connection that fast there was no way of stopping me. So once again the universe wins...

Too far from fiber optic line, Really??

Happy trails people, happy trails...
