start Tech Support Tuesday! -- Chris || Post in the forum
line.jpg
THE INTERNET DOESN'T WORK!
or
THE INTERNET IS SLOW!
Is what is plaguing the @Home users after they got the boot last week.

You know what this means, it means that the tech support people are hearing the song now from all of the crazed Counter Strike gurus out there, or the die hard AIM chatter.

Tech Support: Tech Support, this is Nick speaking
Counter Strike Guru: YOU'RE CHEATING!
Tech Support: I'm sorry?
Counter Strike Guru: I SAID YOU'RE CHEATING!
Tech Support: How am I cheating? And what am I cheating?
Counter Strike Guru: I don't know, but I know that your so-called "@Home Clan" is cheating
Tech Support: Sir, I have no idea what your talking about.
Counter Strike Guru: Who has admin status here?!
Tech Support: *CLICK*

Let me tell you though, nothing makes me laugh more than a good ol' stupid tech support question and answer session. I can almost assure you that the guys at @Home have seen something like the following within the past day or so

Tech Support: Tech Support, this is Nick speaking
Mr. Casual: Yes, hi, I'm calling to let you know that my internet is not working
Tech Support: What exactly is the problem?
Mr. Casual: It doesn't work
Tech Support: What kind of service do we provide you with?
Mr. Casual: The internet
Tech Support: Do you have cable or dial up?
Mr. Casual: Oh, um... I don't know
Tech Support: Ok, is the modem out side of your computer?
Mr. Casual: The what?
Tech Support: The modem
Mr. Casual: Um... what's that?
Tech Support: Ok, well, how fast could you download an mp3 before you had this problem?
Mr. Casual: I'm sorry, a what?
Tech Support: Music. How long did it take you to download music before this problem?
Mr. Casual: About 10 minutes...
Teach Support: Ok, well you have what's called a "dial up" modem.

Ah yes, almost classic. The internet is now taken for granted, so much so that people no longer refer to "it" as a computer, but as "the internet" or "on line". Take for instance the user that thinks once they cannot logon to the 'net, they think that they have been hit with a virus, or have been hacked. Don't worry people, it's not because @Home messed something's up here and there, but it's just that you've either been hacked by an l33t h4x0r, or have just been hit by a virus... made by a l33t h4x0r.
