Its over, the next time my msn shows as offline I will officially have no internet connection. The lease line which I have been using from my dads office was meant to end today and probably will do. This means after over 365 days of being permenately connected I will have to say goodbye.

Ahhh crap. I could go back to 56K dial-up, but after being on a 256k/sec line I really wouldn't be able to take it. Tonight I will have to persuade my dad to get DSL or ADSL. I don't mind either, but I need one soon or I just won't be able to live.

After over a year of having his three computers connected... er-no is internetless.

Pity me, please.

Well, your MSN has showed up as offline for a long time. Which means one of two things:

a) You've blocked me
b) You've got a different address

I can understand if you've blocked me, and I can understand if you've got a different address but... tarn sorn it, can't think of anything else.

My advice to sign up for BTinternet anytime.

Now here's the clever bit.

Leave it on, and get your computer to reconnect after the autodisconnect kicks in.

Then leave it all day.

A repeat performance of heavy usage will ensure that BT ask you ver y nicely to witch to broadband, offering you three months free and free modem + activation.

Then take them up on it.

I now have a 576kb/s connection and it rocks.

You should put that in the GAMEADAY joke thread. That kept me laughing for quite a while.

Console yourself with the fact that dialup isn't that bad...

Unless you've got used to downloading everything and watching movies while web browsing at the same time.
