I've had it with ATT internet.

I had not internet for the past few days,turns out they dont allow customers to have a third party wireless(linksys) setup,as of jan 20th.
Wich is great seeing as how everyone in my house has a laptop and pc hasnt been turned on in at least a year.[:@]

Darn!

 

Yay school! School sucks....

I tore open Aarons old lights today! I have big plans for these lights now that they were safely taken apart with no cracking.

- Tinted amber strips with LEDs/CCFLs behind them...
- Wetsanded and polished lenses...
- Blackhoused (maybe in Flamenco black if I can get it done cheap)...
- Yellow tinted high beam reflectors...
- Some form of projector retrofit (most likely TSX) with new HID bulbs...
- HIR high beams...

 

Congrats on taking them apart without cracking, I know first hand how hard that is. Did you use heat or did you just slowly pry them apart? Also I had my dad film my magnum 57 today, so I'll have a video of it tomm. I've got to relax then do some studying tonight so I'm leaving it for tomm.

Chris what do you mean you can't use a linksys with ATT internet? I have DSL and have 4 diffrent wirleess routers setup in my house. So they are making you pay for their wirless router? Wow and I thought we were hawring.

 

Nope,i was on the phone with them for nearly an hour.Turns out we have to pay extra just to use our own wireless.I have 2 wireless routers,and in order for me to get internet i have to actually connect the Ethernet to my laptop.

ATT said: A third party router messes up the DSL router or some BS like that.

 

That's the biggest load of crap. They haven't locked me out. What happened your router wasn't able to connect through PPoE all of a sudden or something? If they try me like this I'm not paying for cable, they are throttling everyone back. I'm going to get me one of those modded cable modems I keep hearing so much about...

 

Yeah i actually know someone who can get one of those cable boxes for me.

But it against the law. lol

 

screw that drop um. or go with the illegal way and deni deni deni.

 

The ISPs have brought it upon themselves, they are really starting to abuse us. They first started throttling back P2P and bittorrent traffic, which is somewhat understandable. Now they are throttling everything back and giving you a limit, cable that is. And now DSL is charging you fees just to charge fees. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. They deserve for people to drop their subscriptions and get illegal modems. Why are people so quick to call that stealing? Since when taking money for absolutely nothing isn't stealing?

 

^^ agreed, dont have the link but was reading about music companys are no long er going to be suing people and start suing internet providers... this lead to an agrement of if the internet provider sees increase of download or such they'll send you an email asking you stop, if you dont they'll slow your high speed or what ever down to like dial up speed.


i say ok i'm paying for cable internet to do what ever i want, and know your trying to threating me with this? i study law as a secondinterest in schoolnot full time but a couple of classes per year,i will bet my accord if this goes thru there will be a massive lawsuit. sorry just have to rant it this pisses me off.

 

I dont see how we could possibly hold the internet providers responsible for what people are doing on the web. They are not the babysitters. Next they will block you if your looking at kiddy pronz, and will have to verify that anyone looking at pronz is 18. And they will have to monitor every aim conversation to make sure no one is a terrorist.
