Smoking pile of ash

It’s Sunday arvo and after only two days and handling a few thousand megabytes of data, our ADSL routing modem has gone bust. Like, seriously: claim the warranty, RMA, return to manufacturer, scream obscenities at Netgear, bust. I know what I said about frying the modem, but this is ridiculous.

I’m currently connected to the net on dialup again. Stop laughing.

in my experience, all these so-called ‘branded’ modems don’t work as well as generic ones and you pay only like what, half price?

Burn the bastard modem. Burn the thing until there are only ashes left to burn. Then feed the ashes to a homing pigeon and duct tape the feet of the pigeon on the top of the Netgear CEO’s car.

I’d laugh harder if I wasn’t still on dialup myself.

I’m joining in on the laff in. What is the logical metaphor here anyhow? Or is it allegory? Or analogy? AMERICAN PIE’s scene with Jim and Nadia comes to mind.

I’m with Shish on this one. Except, I had it for some months and then had it taken away (stupid expensive cable modems :: shakes fist :: ).

Pfft, your neangled broadband was never going to work anyway.

Why I’m still accessing the Internet using my Commodore 64 and an old Telecom line.

That’s what you get for downloading horse pr0n.

Kidding.

But thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Hope you get it worked out.
