Re: What would you do without internet/accyweb
It could be happening to me anytime soon!! Telefonica, Spain's answer to British Telecom, cut off my phoneline this afternoon. For some strange reason I still have the internet.
We haven't had a bill for over six months but my direct debit serves, or did. They have taken out July's payment but not June's so kaput. It appears that they can't or won't re-apply for the debit.
I've been told to visit another bank who will pay it for me but having no bill it's a dead loss and this bank has a policy for bill paying. From the 10th until the 20th each month and before ten o'clock!
I'm doomed but hopefully, we won't lose the leccy and my computer will stay connected! You all know why if I go on the missing list!

Re: What would you do without internet/accyweb
I'm with La Caixa. Useless shower. I'm off to have a moan in the morning but I expect I'll get lots of shrugged shoulders and they will blame Telefonica.
It doesn't bother me not having the phone line but no internet is like having my arms chopped off!

Re: What would you do without internet/accyweb
If I didn’t have the Internet, hopefully I would still have my computer.
If I didn’t have that then I think that I would start a campaign for voluntary euthanasia and be the first customer. Maybe not! That’s a bit too drastic.
I would spend my Internet fees on getting Sky or cable and watch football, cricket, ice hockey and films. I might read the odd book and I would eat properly instead of making do with a butt or a bowl of soup and endless brews.

Re: What would you do without internet/accyweb
if nobody on here went on other forums you wouldn't get a lot of the threads you do.

Re: What would you do without internet/accyweb
Although i don't often have time to join in with threads too much these days i'm still here lurking an the background, and really would be stuck without the net. When you work abroad and travel as much as I ( and others on here) do, it becomes a bit of a lifeline. Once upon a time it was a bonus to get access when working away and now its almost normal. Long live the internet!!!

Re: What would you do without internet/accyweb
A couple of months back, I lost my internet connection for a couple of weeks. My first reaction was PANIC! but after a day or so, I ACTUALLY lost interest in the net
Willow was still on the net (same house, different computer yes, we are married ) but I never had the urge to go on to her computer, it was like I had switched off and found other things to do!
I cannot describe the feeling I got when my PC finally came on-line again Its MY SCREEN, MY SEAT, MY SPACE! I was back home with the Accyweb but the strange thing is that I survived and did not miss it for most of the time I was "off."
