A number of things recently decided to hit me hard in regards to life and everything, but I'm taking it all in my stride and dealing with it one step at a time. One of the *new* problems that has arose (as many of you might have gathered from talking to me on IMs) is that once again, my ISP have screwed me over with an unbelievably crap speed. This marks two and a half months of almost consecutive connection issues, and I used this to elevate my complaint further. Finally today I decided I wouldn't take it any more and filed for my MAC code, and also managed to get them to waive the disconnection fees based on the fact that the amount of time I had been on the service was almost parallel to the amount of time I'd had problems with it; I essentially convinced them that the whole time I'd remained on the contract was me giving them enough time to try and fix the problem and enough was enough. Thanks to official law that corresponds with this claim, they had no choice but to cancel the contract without charging me the remaining contract's fees. I will now proceed to join an ISP that has been recommended by a friend of mine who has been on their services for more than a year, so I can at least trust his opinion.

I kinda feel stupid for going with Orange in the first place, but at the time, I thought going with my mobile provider (yes, I know) would be a cheaper option, what could go wrong?
hopefully once the process has cleared and I move to my new ISP, I should be able to view images online again without having to wait a whole ten minutes, whilst hoping the connection doesn't abort the download. HENCEFORTH WORK WILL RESUME.

you don't know how much effort it took to get to this page but now that I've made advancements, I will post this!
