I hate having to call tech support people. My internet connection started dropping itself a bit ago and they are trying to blame my router, even though their troubleshooting "techniques" are ***.
I hate how tech support always try to blame your hardware. If the connection was still hosed he woulda told me my NIC was bad. GRRR. I want to shoot some of these help desk people.

That's called "survival."
Otherwise, you start hitting people with blunt objects and puncturing them with staplers

Shut up, *****!
Nah, In my case, I only blame it on something external when it iit *is* something external. Talk to me about metrics sometime, and I'll enlighten you as to why helldesk is so stressful.

The next day it went back on, and I called up to cancel and the techie said "Oh, looks like we had a system outage in your area yesterday and it got fixed" and im like, well duh.
On a positive note, Comcast emailed us yesterday and said "disconnect and reconnect your modem for 2x faster speeds!" Sure enough, I did that and did a test on broadband.com and we went from 2mb to 3.3mb download speeds, with a 240 upload speed! So im happy now
