I really want to try and make this short, but that never seems to happen much and this is the good computer that my folks never want games to be used for or at least at a very bare minimum.
About four days ago my modem was shut off. To keep that short... I had no idea and tried reboots and all that with no success. Eventually found an answer that it was probably my isp. So I called shaw up and they said they shut it off since we are only allowed 1 modem running in a household. Really? I was here with my dad when the internet was set up here the third day we moved in, and the moral of the story is that the technician set up the router and modem downstairs, as well as the one upstairs. We asked him about some sort of limit and he said there is no limit to how many modems you can have, he was positive. That's just great, so why am I being told now otherwise. The reason he said this too is that we have a limit of 10 internet connections allowed to be online. that means xbox, computers and stuff like that. We only have 7 connections set up at any one time maximum!
the part I really find irritating is that they are just doing this NOW! I mean, We've had internet going upstairs for my brother and I for 8 months! 8 months! You think they would have noticed, even if their technician did make a mistake. Anyway, I really don't think there is a mistake unless it's the modem limit. I'm pretty sure I've been told enough times and even now when my dad found out that they did this, that it is based off amount of computers, xboxes, etc., that you have hooked up to the internet at any given time.
Problems with this? Well, not only is it outraging, but I can't come here hardly anymore unless this is fixed which it may be fixed. (my dad is incredibly persuasive, it's incredible, mostly through... not anger but sternness to the company and threats to leave the service and whatnot and shaw does our phone, cable and internet, big loss for them) My computers wireless antenna has been shot since my computer crash ages ago and I also run my xbox up there all on direct wired Ethernet. It's not the end of the world, I have enough going on in my life with friends and sports and stuff not for it to matter say as much as it did in 2008-2010 when I was in a terrible city with not much to do. But this limits my ability to come here, play n64 online and xbox online with certain friends from bowling here in my city when I'm not seeing my friends in real life. All I really do online...
It is a bit of a loss, I mean I can still use my computer, work on my hack and use usb for downloading games and transporting my rom to you guys and whatnot but this is all total crap if you ask me, Shaw should not be doing this and hopefully it is resolved.
that's an update anyways, wound up being a long update anyways as always... :doh:
I'll hopefully get this resolved...
