I’m at the South Mill and the internet here has been down since yesterday. Basically, I figured out they lost their PPPoE Username and Password for their DSL modem, not a big deal, right? Just call tech support… or not. Apparently they went with a local company called Binary.net, which only offers tech support during normal business hours, so if you have a problem over the weekend you’re out of luck. Lame!
Long story short, I’m currently sharing my 230kbps connection through my cell phone with 25 other people. This is officially slower than dial-up. Now I could be mean and cut them all off, but their little faces lit up like it was freaking Christmas when I started serving up sweet bandwidth.
p.s. Much love to the people at Internet Nebraska, who don’t suck… It’s a pity The Mill isn’t even your client.
