I have to use a 14.4 modem?!

This is what I've been reduced to because of that wonderful monopoly called Telus. They told us they'd have our ADSL working for when we moved into the new office.

Is it working? No.

Do they know what's wrong? No.

Do they care? No.

Are they going to fix it? We can only hope.

The problem with government sponsored monopolies like Telus is that they do pretty much anything they like because they know you have no option to go anywhere else. Even if I get the ADSL from some other provider, the port is still connecting through Telus, so you dance with the devil no matter where you go!

Because some incompetant cheese-head at Telus unplugged our ADSL, my business comes to a halt as we wait until they figure out what they screwed up.

Now, here I am with two tin cans and a string that people call a "dial-up connection".
