As most know, I've been having internet troubles the past few days, well, everyone who uses my ISP is, but, yeah.
Until today, phoning their tech support got you an automated message saying they're having troubles(Duh). My brother(Who, god forbid can't go without WoW for a day) phoned them today because he was too impatient to wait the 15 minutes for it to reconnect again. Getting angry the 30 minutes or so he was on hold(Which isn't the problem, really, I didn't care)
They told him to unplug the router and just have one PC directly connected, despite the logic that 3 people I know who use the same ISP and have no routers are experiencing the same problems, I doubt it's the router(I could've worded that better, too). Regardless, my brother did it, and connected his PC too(Disconnecting me without warning aswell >_>). So, I went to play some PSO offline, I can wait a bit without a connection.
Two hours later, he still gets random lag spikes and disconnected every 40 or so minutes, but he insists on keeping his PC directly connected(And...I needed to get online to do some research...>_> which I should be doing right now). I asked him nicely, and then I was nicely(Sarcasm) suggested to "Fuck off". Now, whenever my family gets mad at me, I manage to stay calm(Something everyone else seems to not be able to do). I waited another 30 minutes before I asked him again, which he went to the whole thing about how he phoned Shaw so he should stay connected(Despite it not being any better than before), at which point. I just disconnected him for a second, plugged the router back in. At which point he came storming here and called me a "Little fuck"(1 inch shorter! O:). Screaming, punching a door, etc. Which of course, wakes my mom up who is right above us. She gets mad, I get accused of screaming my head off. Yeah, lot's off bullshit I don't need.
Needless to say, I'm not waking him up tomorrow for school(Funny how the little brother wakes everyone up). Waking him up means I gotta get up at 6:15(A healthy 2 hours and 10 minutes before I gotta leave for school).
Writing it out, it doesn't sound as bad as I thought it was, but I'm missing details and such. Every 5 minutes he's screaming something at me, meh. Not gonna let it get to me. :3
