Rejects 81 Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) So as I'm sure all of you know I've been inactive as fuck and I think it is about time I say why couple of swears ahead So, I live in a shitty little village in the middle of fucking nowhere with my mother in a decent house. My mother had to work 2 jobs to help us to keep the house, pay gas/electricty/internet etc... I did what I could to help as well. Now, my mother's second job was a bartender at a local Masonic Lodge, it paid good money, was fun, plenty of friends and member of the lodge from around the village to talk to and have drinks with. Then the Lodge got a new Owner the fucking asshole thought that the "social" side of the lodge was taking over and decided to make the lodge members only disallowing anyone from the general public to enter and fired all the barstaff including my mother meaning she had to rely on money coming from her main job : managing the kitchen of the local primary school, which was an extremely low paying job but she enjoyed it. So cue our old ISP cutting me off and having to rely on my close friends internet connection to try and keep up with things happening, Obviously I couldn't and I am extremely sorry @Bello for having to do things for me. Now, Back in August I managed to secure a place in a Higher National Degree course in Computing Software Development and am still studying it right now. I then applied for Student Loans to try and help my mother pay for gas/electricity and get an internet connection again. So Back in approx 10 - 12th November I sent out for Sky Broadband Unlimited to get back online. I received the Sky Hub on 24th November which came in a fancy little box, the Hub is like a weird finnicky plastic gloss black box. The engineer visit to actually install the phone line was on 1st December, it went by smoothly, all the wires were there, none were broken so all good. Then he went to test the wires, They were ALL dead, no signal coming through at all, so he went outside to check the telephone pole connecting to my house, Big fucking Giant red D on it, for dangerous, meaning it's unsafe for a signal to be sent through. Engineer says that the wires on the pole would need to be rewired, some guys will come to do it tomorrow, "YOU DONT HAVE TO BE IN THE HOUSE". Cue the next day, I get a message from sky saying an engineer was unable to access the house to install the phone line, WHICH IS ALREADY INSTALLED. So the fucking engineers didnt fucking bother to fix the telephone pole when they saw I wasnt in my home despite not needing to be there. So I call up sky saying so and all they fucking say is they have to reschedule and "IF YOU ARENT IN THE NEXT TIME YOU WILL BE CHARGED" shit. The earliest reschedule they had that I would have been in my home was another week, 8th December, yesterday. The engineer came round walked in and saw that the line was installed and said "OH, THAT'S INSTALLED", The fucking person at sky I called up didnt say they had to fix the telephone pole so the engineer was unprepared. He then went outside, checked the pole, talked on the phone for about an hour and told me that it may be another TWO FUCKING WEEKS before it is fixed... SO I AM HAVING A GREAT FUCKING WINTER... TL:DR : mom got fired from one of 2 jobs, wasnt getting money, couldnt afford internet, got in college, got student loan, sent out for internet, got it installed, phone line is broken, engineers are shit sorry for no tags, I cant be fucked right now [spoiler=Also]I'm not sure if I should be temporarily demoted since I have no idea of the actual date it might be fixed, it could be tomorrow, it could actually fucking be another 2 fucking weeks Edited December 9, 2016 by Guest (see edit history) 7 Kypari, Hanney, Thunder and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aegean 849 Posted December 10, 2016 Due to your situation, I don't think another demotion is necessary. I hope everything works out man and things turn for the better, keep us updated! 1 1 Thorax_ and Rejects reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yourstalkerisho 7 Posted December 10, 2016 This is sad I have problems of my own but I don't feel it is this bad is there anything we can do to help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rejects 81 Posted December 12, 2016 Update: A third engineer came today about an hour ago and started testing the line. He said the fault wasnt the telephone pole but a broken wire further up the line, He then left for 50 minutes and came back and tested the line once more and it started to work so my internet is now installed after an 11 day wait. Ima start getting active again 2 1 1 Thorax_, Goblins, Tatost and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
