The Dark Ages

Regretfully my hearing still does not appear to have improved.  However it is now only a couple of days till my appointment with the ENT specialist!  I am a little worried as to what the problem may be and if it can be fixed.

My internet authentication problems which I have endured for 6 months still continue.  Again the problem has been raised a level with faults.  My connection has supposedly been recoded at the exchange (whatever that may mean).

I would usually get a connection speed of 6.8MB, but currently it is running at 1.5MB.  My neighbour over the road who is connected at the same point as I am (but with a different ISP) is getting 6.8MB!  On top of this authentication dropouts continue.

The slow speed means different computers here at home cannot get on the internet and download at the same time.  And as we have returned from being away for two months all the computers want to do is updates!  This is causing problems.

Time for a change of ISP.

We feel as far as the internet is concerned we are back in the Dark Ages.  In Saudi, Arj gets a speed of over 75MB!
