Hmm sounds like the good old Romania. Romania is getting more privatized, so it will be harder to get stuff done there. I sure hope U get your connection, but your story sort of reminds me of my old place. I call Adelphia to get cable and they do the same crap to me too. Cant do this, cant do that, blah blah blahhhh, I gave up and went to Bellsouth. Hmm as Groingrinder said, since U diplomat, give em hell and get your connection. I mean heck U diplomat, stomp on some !@#$%^& and get your internet. Dracula, I will see U soon buddy. I will be there next year in Feb. Got everything set, just looking for the best days to go and buy that ticket. Hope U get your connection buddy.
