Little Things That Frustrate Us

Frm 1Aug, it will be $1 per call to talk to Cust Service on Prepay. You can still manage yr mob free online. For other ways 2manage yr mob &more info freecall 440.

Every service over here is all about limitation and money. I don’t know how much Vodafone would charge for GPRS, but it would surely be cutthroat. I’m upset with my internet connection, and Vodafone decided they want to mess with me some more.
Well, My Woosh wireless broadband is currently running on a dial-up speed, which gives me nothing but frustration after frustration of having to wait seemingly forever for a simple page to load.
Internet connection is datacapped. Three of my apartment mates and I share a wireless broadband plan with 51 GB bandwidth per month. The bandwidth would be reset back to 0% on the 21st of every month. And we ran out of our bandwidth last Friday.
I didn’t even get to download this month, having been busy with moving to the new server. I’ve been very conscious with my usage of the internet. I even avoided graphic-heavy websites to save the bandwidth.
Some people apparently didn’t think so.
I wish they’d be more concerned. Using Yahoo!Messenger and Skype eat up lots of bandwidth, and it actually bothers me that some of them are using both messengers almost all day long.
And the internet’s registered under my name.
How lovely.
I want Malaysia! No monthly bandwidth… Ahh…

Argh, tell me about it! I hate having to stay up till 2am to download anything big just because the only available bandwidth I have left is at off-peak hours!

Unfortunately, we don’t even get off-peak hours leeway ;_; I just feel like smashing the router.
Downloading a past year exam paper, which was only 1.7mb, took more than 15 minutes. Oh the horror!
