Internet Access down for 2 days !

When people talked about the poor and unreliable internet access provided by TM , I didnt quite agree with them . I am getting a dose of this of late .

Early November , I chose to change my streamyx account to the new Blockbuster deal ! Indeed !
The vendor that  was assigned to install the wireless modem is   a  separate story . The blessed guy came  only after we lodgde a complaint with the TM PR department . When he left , our poor laptop recorded  over 30 locations with virus infections  . Of course , I have no choice  but to suspect that he has planted them there ! The viruses are just sitting quietly  somewhere in the laptop now ! Quarrantined !

Regarding the access , on days that are good .... everything is satisfacory . wireless - ok , access speed - ok . But there were numerous occasions when service interruptions  lasted for 2 days at least . I am talking about the most recent one . ( 23,24 and 25th )

At 6 pm today , I decided to call 100 .  was agitated with this online assistance . The phone is away from the modem , needed  another person to help .

For  all the times I checked today and yesterday , only the PWR button is lighted up . Occasionally the DSL blinked too .... but most of the time , it is just PWR and WLAN buttons lighted up only .

After dinner , to my pleasant surprise , all 3 buttons lighted up and I was able to access with cable .

Then at about 9:45 pm , a male techincian called from HQ . He reported that system checks revealed that everything is OK . In the end , it was discovered that my wireless capability is not turned on . I am yet to find out where the wireless button is .
No wonder it is often said that every day we live , we learn . i definitely have learnt quite a bit today about trouble shooting .
