Back on the Grid!

Son of a bitch!

That is the only way to start a blog post when you finally get internet access at home after one bloody month.

One week waiting for the application to be approved, another few working days before my address was authenticated for billing, waiting for the internet service provider to get clearance from Telstra, then it is another ten working days until the technician comes to connect the service to the main distribution frame and another wait over the weekend until another technician Keith contacted came to jumper the connection from the MDF to my apartment, and then trying to connect to the internet with an incompatible modem router, buying a new modem router and finally being able to connect.

Yes, this is how Australian ISPs function. If you get your service within three weeks of application, it is excellent service, anything before that is a miracle.
