Why not try some porn? at:

Or maybe your tired of the excitement of playing with me on aq2 servers? check out http://www.gopeach.com/ for all your post gaming needs...

Listen to some sounds at: http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/afx/index2.html

You could perhaps read some extracts from a newsgroup:

Paradroid: ".....OK, .... so what's happening? Hello? BT? The internets like toffee today and yesterday what's going on?
It's not me...
It's not at "my end". The hyperterminal program verified I have an extreemly good line quality, even now, when I'm spending precious time complaining.
You see it's not just that the service is poor at the moment (because, for me, I usually can't fault it) it's that there's no news about it. Are bt in the middle of essential upgrading of exchanges? Are some of the equiptment used for btinternet isp's broken?
It seems like the bandwidth has been squeezed and it's taking ages to do anything, sending mail yesterday and today timed out twice, browsing is nightmarish with at times little or no activity puntuated with a burst of
activity....usually the other way around. I notice more than most because of online gaming. Latency, lag, ping and packet loss are all through the roof.
It's as if all of bt's internet traffic is being routed through an old rusty nail...or a cup'n'twine.....
I could supply bt with a wealth of info to try to help but as far as I'm concerned I haven't touched anything!
It not me...
....."

(...cue automaton enter stage...big deep booming voice with Vader stylings)
BT: "....You are not the only person to mention this today and we have been running tests here to try to figure out what is happening. Can you try atraceroute for me please? I have spoken to one of the Operations team who has access to various monitoring tools ... We are collating data to help us narrow down the probable source of the fault so I have made a note of the number you are dialling . What area code are you dialling from?
....."



Paradroid: ".....in both traces a large bulk of the hops made are unidentified. I know that this just means that the router is probably just old and isn't reporting the TTL being exceeded, but .... that in itself is worrying.
I think BTinternet should examine the equipment they use that's not "new".
I mean from the result's I'm getting, from traceroute, some serious money needs to be spent on hardware.
Ideally BT should provide the network capacity (56k/isdn/adsl/£££) for every single user. The inevitable free bandwidth (cause I know I can't surf 24/7-need sleep sometimes) could then be used when essential maintenance or upgrading the networks is needed....not at the customers expense.
After all, maintenance people DO work at bt don't they? Full time staff? They must work don't they? Well?
When you take a penny-pinching model of a telecomms network, every telephone line (payed for thrice) is used at it's optimum, and something goes wrong (let's face it...something always goes wrong) the service to the customer is effected. From the moment something goes wrong to the second it's repaired...it's hurting the customer. Maximizing profits for the greedy shareholders. Crisis management at btinternet me thinks (crisis being...count da cash faster).
..."

But that would be stupid.
Do one minge...

BT......oh god how I hate this company with every fibre of my being.

Because of their fuck arseing about, the Free Inet calls company I have been using has now had to give up 24/7 FreeCalls, bastards, in favour of 100 free hours a month...what the...I use that in a week FFS!!

All because those tightfisted money grabbing gits have still not delivered unmetered internet access for a flat rate.

Its a fucking joke that a monopoly of this sort can behave in this manner, put back services for no other reason then they can, that they can squeeze a couple more pounds out of an already overcharged customer.

I will never again in my life be a BT customer, I will never again allow my money to go directly to BT, and I think the gaming community as a whole should be making the same noises.

Here in Portugal we have the same fucking scenario. Our phone company PT always finds a way to suck us extra bucks for a poor service. monopoly does suck... our part is playing the suckers...

Here on planet Endor we have a similar problem with our phone provider- ET.
The tosser keeps wanting us to 'Phone home' but doesn't allow us to use emails at a sensible price.

;p
