Blogging has become such a long time consuming task since some days as my nomad internet connection is so damn slow. A post which would normally take around 30 minutes to complete is taking more than 2 hours as I also have to look for appropriate images and other stuffs. Nomad or their ‘modem’ decided to ‘joke’ with me since Thursday 20 November so let me ‘joke’ with them today!
Thursday 20 Nov 08 – 19:00
While I was browsing my own blog I saw that the sidebars were not loading! I thought it was a problem with my blog. I cross checked with some friends but at their place it was loading well. So I said the problem is maybe with Nomad and it will be fine by Friday morning. I phoned Nomad and I was told to scan my PC for spywares! I did it and no spyware! I phoned them again and was told to now do a speed test 3 time at 30 minutes intervals!
I did it and the results were so F*cked up! The details about this day can be found here.

The connection is indeed much better than the previous night but after just 10 minutes…shit… The same problem of slow connection as of the previous day is back. I waited for nomad’s call during the day and they never called!!
Friday 21 Nov 08 – 19:45
I started to feel annoyed at the slow connection and started to yell at the Nomad dudes!!! Yea you got to yell at them and swear to wake them from their sleep!! After the hypertensionic event I got to talk to one of their technician who asked me to do so many stuffs but they connection remained so damn slow! I asked that a technician come to my place to check but since their techkies dont work during the weekend, so its only on Monday that they can send someone…. ofcourse they had to hear a curse from me when they said that!!

I took my modem to the Nomad stand at Jumbo to test it there but found out that they are ‘inside of Jumbo’ so they can’t do speed test as they don’t have a good connection in there!! Yea!!
Next destination was Nomad Shoprite… The dude their test it and his report was that yea the modem work! Yea the fucking modem fuckign works!! I know it! So I explained about the connection problem and also let him know about my blog and the posts!!! Finally we concluded that…. no conclusion! He is not a qualified dude to know the defect! The connection was slow too at Shoprite! So I asked him to confirm that a techky is going to come at my place on Monday!!
More specifically on Monday at 14:30!! Lets see at what time he will come and what will he do to solve the problem! I will surely update you all here. Today I did another speed test and here are the jokers results that I wanna share with you. These are the results for today Sunday 23 Nov. The results for friday were worst!!! 9Kbit/s!!!
Speed Test 2: – Speed test two clearly failed!!! The connection lost it!!
Speed Test 3: I just did this speed test just before posting this article…. so here is the value just at the time I am writing this.
And you know what more ridiculous?? The modem is showing such a good network availability with FIVE bars!!
So the only question which comes to my mind is WHAT THE FUCK!! Lets see what happen tomorrow when the techky guy will come!! It really sh*t to use the HTML version of gmail!! Its too boring….I can’t even access my Google Reader!!

The 5 bars is the quality of the signal but the Signal itself is null or 1 bar, as u like it.

Wehn your connection gets back, you should read all my posts about it

Waw this really sucks! Even the tests are failing!
That’s not just you mate. My connection seems to be lagging these days. After a while, I can’t browse at all!
And you know what? When I report it, I get the “Scan for spywares” excuse. As if spywares would eat up the whole bandwidth without me noticing. Duh! Mauritius sucks in terms of Internet speed.

Man, I was thinking 55, that’s more than what I have here, then I found out that I was in 54Mbits/s (not bragging about it huh). How come they have slower connections on peak times? Its not supposed to be like that! They should be giving constant service at anytime. This really sucks. I mean, do they really think that they’ll keep on selling crap to people as well as carry on offering crap service?

More importantly, what is a baby bottle doing in the back of the last picture?
It sucks – I guess we are all awaiting the next post related to Nomad. Can’t you film the scene?(tech guy @ your home) It would be fun to watch that.
