Show Me The Money!!

We paid RM50 for the Astro contactor to chop off a branch from a tree that was blocking our receptor dish. And that's not even a long term solution.

Apparently what we need to do is reposition the dish so that it sits at the highest most point of the building, which is our upper unit neighbour's roof.

Looks like some persuading and negotiations are in order. (Nah, they're really nice people - our neighbours, that is; dunno about Astro or their contractors.)

Nothing works

It's been more than two weeks now and our Streamyx at home is still busted. An email sent to TMNet's customer service department drew lukewarm response. I am fed up. To get online I either go to Hollys Coffee at Cineleisure Damansara (way quieter and more conducive to writing than Starbucks over at The Curve) or head to Havana Estudio to leech off their Wi-Fi.

To top it off, Astro's dead as well. Has been ever since the satellite signal turned up a bright red on the screen about a week ago.

Everything electronic and IT is turning into a nightmare at my place. Or maybe it just goes to show that a monopoly is the most inefficient way to be running things around here.
