Decent bandwidth

After 1 year, yes, you read it right, I finally have the Internet bandwidth I’m paying for.

This may sound something easy to accomplish, but try and explain ADSL line synchronization to the guys at Tech Support of my ISP. Ohh, and if you’re ‘one of those persons who use Linux’, there is no way to support your problem, even though the problem has NOTHING to do with your computer.

On the first few calls I was getting pissed because they would not tell me what the tests were and I didn’t have a Windows machine around. One day I give it a try and said I was using Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Professional. Well, it turns out, all I had to do was to visit the Customer section of the ISP website and do one of those Speed Tests, where you receive/send 1Mb of information.

Luckily I was using Windows to do that.

Big story short (or not that short) I now have what I’ve been paying for:
