Torhu's Internet Oddysey: Part 2
When we last left our hero, he was Web-less. With over $200 worth of internet devices and nothing to connect to, he had lost all hope and direction.
Then that fateful Monday came. With a desperate trip to the local offices of his "new" provider of Interweb, he learned that his place of residence wasn't covered. News of this lie angered him greatly. Wasting no time, our beloved hero swept up the pieces of connectivity and returned them to their boxes. They would be returned to the Bestest of Buys that same day.
But all still was not well with our hero. In his frustration, he had forgotten the AC Adapter to the modem. Now, modems cost over $60. Having ensured that the modem itself and all software had been taken with, it surprised the lad that they would think him cheap enough to go through all of the hassle he had for the sake of stealing an AC Power Adaptor. But alas, that was the case. So a second trip to his residence and back to the demon store finally found some measure of redemption. To be accurate, $100 worth.
A quick call to the ISP for the apartments revealed that he could be back online by the end of the following day. A second call, this time incoming, was the other provider. They wished to activate our hero's account. An account which all of ten minutes ago had ceased to exist. Though he tried his best to explain the situation, there was something about "I can't get your service where I live." that they couldn't understand.
But that was all Monday, and that was a long time ago. For now it is Wednesday, and the young lad has finally found peace (and Interweb) in his new apartment. With his connection finally established, he can finally begin to battle those bills which have been waiting for him since the beginning of the month.
But that is a story for another day...
