Crap network

Telia’s UMTS network has become nearly unusable these last few days. I can’t connect to IRC most times, and the web gateway times out a lot. I don’t know if they’re experiencing problems or are having a surge in traffic. I also know it’s no use trying to find info on their site, as it’s really crappy and mostly oriented to suckering people into choosing their service.

This has put a serious crimp on my online lifestyle, but on the other hand, I’m at last making progress with The System of the World.

Update: things seems to have sorted themselves out. Must have been a glitch.

It’s a tribute to what I think of Telia that I immediately suspected that they’d cut internet access (except for HTTP). I wouldn’t put it past them at all. And that raises the question: why am I using a provider that I fear and distrust?
