It's sunday morning. All I wanted was to get up, get a cup of coffee and surf the net. But that was not ment to be on this, the 5 th of September at 6:30.

While I stare at the Helderkruin tower thinking: "What a HUGE paperweight!", I'm wondering if anybody else on the Sentech network is experiencing problems.

My modem connects, transmits and receives data, but alas no internet.

Whipped out the telephone cord, back of the laptop and bang, I'm connected again. (Speeds are better with the modem, wow).

Idea for a new add:
(Think accent)
Bloke 1: "So you get the internet and email and all that and that and that, wireless?"

Bloke 2: "Yes, sometimes, and its slow, very slow. And it's not cheap. I had to sell my Corsa to afford it. Kids are hungry, wife is complaining."


If anybody is down, just shot a post please. I'll check back in say 1 hour.

Cheers all, have a lovely and relaxing Sunday.

My modem is not on speaking terms with Helderkruin anymore. I don't know what they are doing to that tower, but it cannot be good.
