 I MIGHT dissapear for the WHOLE summer from the internet That is. You know, these ISPs that call you offering stupid fraudulent discounts? Well, last year one of these called, offering us some shitty discount for one of their summer offers. The guy at the other side insisted a lot, but we rejected them. The next day we didn't have any internet connection, until we recovered it... after the whole friggin' summer.
Today the EXACT same thing happened: guy insisting a lot, we rejected the offer. So I'm afraid that the same thing is going to happen.
Just to prevent it, I've set Steam to offline mode already, I've downloaded a bunch of mods + new games and I've told most of my IM friends about it.
So, just so you know, if I suddendly dissapear for the whole summer it isn't that I died or something. It's my ISP.
Though it's not safe to say that I WILL dissapear for summer yet!

I hope not.
The 1-800-MAEK-GIF-NAOW fad almost never gets old.

An isp shouldn't do that, can't you just change your isp?

Europe is absolutely retarded when it comes to the Internet. I don't understand why you all always have such issues with your ISP. You never hear about this stateside.
Probably has something to do with the fact that we invented the Internets.

This is why I don't like americans.
YOUR COUNTRY ISN'T PERFECT.
Now, back ontopic. Good luck with the ISP thing, and hope you still can have fun if you do lose your internet.

Actually, CERN invented internet.
And I haven't had any problems with my ISP, nor my friends.

In that case.
YOUR COUNTRY ISN'T THE BEST!
Because nearly every American I know thinks that America is the best country of them all.
Pfft.

It's just us being proud of where we live. Everyone should be.
