Just so that someone hears a good word for a change, but we all seem to
like that ISP anyways.
My parents left their apartment for two months because of refurbishing,
and simultaniously had their computer reformatted due to virus (I'm
talking about W2K). They have an ADSL with Actcom. When I tried to
reconnect them, I couldn't. I only had the old ADSL howto (from the time
it was free), and naturally, no WOW software.
I called Actcom's support. It was 9pm on a weekend. The guy understood
that I was not a novice, and started to give shortcuts (instead of
"click the start, go to settings...." he said "open the dial-up
configuration). He was once or twice even too much ahead of me, to the
point he had to come back a little. The entire thing took less than five
minutes to get working again (this actually was a configuration error on
my part).
