Finally....

Wow....the broadband is finally active today.....and good-bye to dial-up!! It has had taken 26 days for the broadband providers to activate it. It was a little hassle to go through this time than when we moved house last year. I have no idea why though.

Their service is usually good but we got fed up this time. We were given a minimum of 20 days to get the broadband and 7 days period for the phone line after moving house. But they took more than two weeks to give the phone line and the reason given for the delay was that the time it had taken for them to get the line enabled from BT (British Telecom). And now, 26 days for the broadband and this is even after our few shouts only. Every time you call, they say "give us a call in 48 hours period of time as I am just going to pass this job into our dash department." Exactly the same words every time!! I don't know whether they were being ignorant or technical probs or what. Had to ring them almost every two days to give a shout and the last one was very harsh. Well, that was the way because we can't rely on dial-up all the time as exams are coming up. Oh, by the way, forgot to mention that this was all about AOL Broadband. Glad that it has finally been activated.

And coming to talk about exams, I got my SSU assessment tomorrow in which I have got to perform the poem that I have written. On depression. Kinda strange that a medical school wants to see us performing arts, even though it's just reading out in my case! Some people in my group are even singing! A good, relaxing element but it would have been so if it is not near the semester exams. I still enjoy it anyway!

To those who are doing exams this summer, wishing all the very best! Ciaoo!
