Issues

I have issues....

We are moving in under a month.  We went on a FANTASTIC vacation, and came back to discover we have no Internet.  After going in and finding out they shut us off a month early, we were told to wait a couple days and they'd get it back on.  Turns out, no, that's how long it takes for them to FILE the complaint.  We called and called and called, and we were finally told that they had completely deleted our contract.  We went in again to get something in writing stating that our Internet was shut off a month early, so we don't get charged for that time, since in their system it wasn't supposed to be shut off for another three weeks.  They finally told us they'd have it up and running by May 18.  Yeah, that's the day they're supposed to shut it off for us, since we will no longer be living in our house.  If this were the US, this wouldn't fly.  We are mad, and frustrated.  Have you ever tried to move your entire family across the world with no Internet?  I can't check prices for flights, rental cars, dog boarding.  I can't call our parents since our land lines were from the same company.  Utter and total frustration.

We did however buy ourselves a hotspot stick.  It's like a cell phone sim card.  We can put it in our USB drive and connect to a 3G network somewhere in the area.  We get a whole GB for a week of Internet usage.  We use that, to use Skype, to call our parents, so we aren't totally unconnected, but have you ever tried NOT to use up 1GB?  We used half of that just trying to update Skype so we COULD call our parents.  Sigh.........  It will all work out.... It will all work out.... and with that, I will attempt to get back to life, and try really hard not to stress out about it.  :)  I'll let you know how that goes.
