Other than that, I like the people on my contact list, and i've got more on there than on ICQ
also, also....this is definatly a MSN problem, because my modem is still as super duper as it was.erm, 20mins ago, before messenger started playing up.
if they say they are, your ISP is usually tellin lies, unless you can still surf.
I find this a lot, with Freeserve. The little computer screens in the corner ar still there, so I think 'm connected. But triying to get to any web page doesn't work, and after about two minutes, I get the connection dialog box up.I just wish they'd tell you instantly when you've been cut off.
But I think MSN is great, and it usually works fine. The only time it really goes wrong is when my connection cut's, which is Freeserve fault... gggrr.

God this lesson is boring :(
Modems: They're not always connected even if they say they are, your ISP is usually tellin lies, unless you can still surf, in which case its a.......
MSN: they always reset their servers when they think it's not too usy, it's quite annoying if your having a big convo and all of a sudden you think everyones ignoring you, but in fact ::30mins later:: you get a flood of messages saying "why are you ignoring me, speak you imbocile!" if you can't sign in, it sounds like a MSN problem.
