It's a Conspiracy

Just when I thought things were going well it's all gone tits up.

First of all we get the Barns fiasco - it now looks like we won't sign for months and building work has been cancelled again - and now Virgin Net decide to kick us while we are down.

We just got a letter from them telling us that they can no longer supply us with a flat rate dial-up internet as our phone isn't up to it.

Well, that's funny cos I'm connected right now!

But don't worry - we can always sign up for their broadband connection! The fuckers!

I just don't know what the hell is going on anymore - it's like we've just travelled back in time to November. Will this never end????

And they are going to cut me off on MONDAY! So I have the weekend to find a flat-rate dial-up ISP which doesn't define ANYTIME as 150 HOURS A MONTH (Tiscali, you gits). Anyone got any suggestions?

I had hoped to publish a new issue of Tachyon TV this Monday, but guess what, I don't feel very fucking funny anymore!

NTL World used to do one.

Maybe Blueyonder dial up?

I just signed up to Wanadoo - it feels faster already. I wonder how long it'll take them to shut us down...

Both Blueyonder and NTL said I had to take their phone packages and - irony of ironies - we are trapped in a 12 month contract with BT because it cost them 8 grand to connect us in the first place. In related news, my brother-in-law's line is now off thanks to a third line being having been installed into a final caravan with my other brother-in-law. But the good news is that it is also screwing up the farmer who caused all the aggro in the first place. That's almost a result!

Glad you got something sorted out for the net connection.

While I'm here there was something I read about on line that supposedly speeds up e-mail and webpage loading?

Some sort of specialist software. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called however.

I'd be submiting something to TTV this time - but I'm worried you'd not want to run it after you ignored my last stuff ;)
