My fucking ISP is full of fucking retards and worse.
The modem that they sent me 2 years ago (got in sometime in 2001) has shitty fucking XP drivers so basically the internet would look better on the AoL 56k I had before.
Wtf. These people would NOT send me a new fucking modem? They wanted to CHARGE me 99$s for a new fucking modem? What? I'm already paying 50$s a month for their fucking service.
I really have about 3 options.
1. I can reinstall Windows 98SE. If I do this I might need help figuring out how to do so, although it shouldn't be too hard, but then I have to go and save all my important shit, such as my Ninja Gaiden 4 source, mp3s I don't have backups for, etc.
2. I can get a new modem, with the 99$s I don't have.
3. Get a new ISP? Not sure about that. I really don't know anything about the other ISPs in the area. I also don't know how much cable internet would cost or perform in comparison.
So anyway, what do you think? Anyone wanna buy me a modem? haha.
This is bullshit though. I like XP's stability, however it has a few incompatabilities I don't like. Such as for some reason now Midi's aren't playable? Funny though, now Unreal Ed for UT2k3 works but didn't in Win98.
Really, isn't it bullshit you pay 50$s a month for a service, and they won't even give you a free upgrade to your modem, WHICH IS REQUIRED, IT'S NOT BROKEN OR TROUBLE ON MY PART. THEIR DRIVERS FUCKING SUCK.
So anyway, if anyone has any pointers on reinstalling Win98SE, I think I'll just do that, as it's been quite awhile that I've not had decent internet. I have the full install CD and all that. It seems the ideal choice, as I could probably get things back in a day if not less.
