Internet Down Again

Internet Down Again!

My broadband connection is off, 
And has been every evening, 
Since i upgraded to Infinity, 
Frustration has proximity. 

Anger is on the hob, 
Boiling up from within, 
I don’t know why it doesn’t work, 
And won’t just take it on the chin.  

I won’t grin and look away, 
In my stupidity and ignorance,  
Just because I need a techy person, 
To rectify the interference. 

I don’t think I need an engineer, 
To visit and poke and prod, 
At my body part and vital switch, 
At the vehicle of the baud. 

There’s something wrong at their end, 
So I did email them that it was down,
Far too often for my large pale,
Makes me curse, jeer and frown.

Good piece Rhoda, truly bring the emotions you're feeling out well. I've problems in past week after downloading the new windows 10,I was on windows 7, but the 10 is rather up and down taking while to start up at times, but hopefully things will settle down soon.

The new windows 10 system is better than Windows 7 because new ones always have more functionality and easier graphics.

I'm with British Telecom and they've got quite a bad reputation. But I went with them cos my mum wouldn't let me go with anyone else cos she trusts only them as she gets her phone from them. But I may have to change to another provider, and she'll just have to come along with me.
