230 / 25 = 9.2

I’m at the South Mill and the internet here has been down since yesterday. Basically, I figured out they lost their PPPoE Username and Password for their DSL modem, not a big deal, right? Just call tech support… or not.¬† Apparently they went with a local company called Binary.net, which only offers tech support during normal business hours, so if you have a problem over the weekend you’re out of luck. Lame!

Long story short, I’m currently sharing my 230kbps connection through my cell phone with 25 other people. This is officially¬† slower than dial-up. Now I could be mean and cut them all off, but their little faces lit up like it was freaking Christmas when I started serving up sweet bandwidth.

p.s. Much love to the people at Internet Nebraska, who don’t suck… It’s a pity The Mill isn’t even your client.
