Sorry Plusnet!

Well, turns out I was wrong, maybe....

Not been much to write about for the last few days, just been getting on with Uni work, getting me down as always, dissertation isn't looking like much so far, very bitty and, well, crap.

Also been working on Sarah's Birthday present, which of course I can't talk about much because up until now it is still a surprise, full write up when its finished though.

Now I've mentioned Sarah, I suppose she should have a formal introduction in my blog. Sarah is my long term girlfriend and soul mate, we have been together for over 1 year and a half and its all 'rosy in the garden'. Sarah is 2 years younger then me, but she is equally as crazy and on the same mental level, which makes for a good relationship, not many girls would put up with me for more than a day!

She went off to Cardiff University in September last year, so I haven't seen her as much as I would have liked, but we seem to be managing just fine on an every other weekend basis.

So, back to Plusnet, after me moaning at the over their naff service, they promptly emailed me back saying it was all my fault. Apparently, my router synced with them (randomly) at a lower speed than normal, which it did, because I saw it happen. So then, BT's equipment dropped my line rate because of this low sync, which makes sence.

But when my router re-synced back to its normal speed (when I re-booted it), BT's equipment is not as quick to put the line rate as they are to lower it, so it would take "3-5 days"!!!! How can they drop the line speed instantly, but not put it back up in the same way.

So anyway, just after Plusnet emailed me the speed went back up again, strange coincidence maybe? The "it's BT's problem" was just excuse of the day at Plusnet HQ?.......

Finally, I will finish with a moan, whats all this rubbish about apologies for the slave trade how ever many years ago? Its crap, that's how people lived then, it was affected as normal behaviour, so how can we, in the modern day, criticise that way of life. There has been a plethora of TV shows on TV about the whole thing, it just seems to be a bit out of hand, sure its good to learn about what went on, but not to be banging on about how wrong it was. It was wrong, yes, but only by TODAY'S standards and moral beliefs.

And why the hell should anyone apologise for it, that IS crap, how can several generations on be expected to apologise on behalf of the people from the past, this has happened before on other issues.
