I Have Broadband :))

I Love Orange. I was going to go for the £35 a month orange dolphin package, with a free phone, free unlimited texts, unlimited free calls to my magic number, 550 minutes a month, free orange Wednesdays cinema ticket and free orange broadband for my house, but I didn't. I don't know why really, seems to good to be true. Oh yes I do, i was sooo impatient for Broadband, I signed up for it alone. I was also worried about the cost of £35 a month for 18 months, as it is a contract. So I didn't go for the contract. Instead I am sticking with my old phone, same deal - top up by £15 a month and get free texts in the evenings and weekends from 7pm to 7am - and paying Orange £15 a month for Broadband Basic.
If I had gone for the Orange dolphin deal, I could have paid £5 a month on top of that i.e. £40 a month and gotten Broadband Unlimited, but that was going to be a wee bit expensive, so I didn't go for that.
So, anyway I have Orange Broadband Basic at a speed of 2.2 Mb/s, which makes me a very happy person. I had a panic attack when I opened the tiny weeny little box that they had sent me, and saw a tiny farty little cable that was supposed to connect pc to the phone box thingy at the bottom of the door frame (where you plug in the phone lol!). MY pc is upstairs, and there is a cable that connects the box to my pc, it goes up through the wall to another box on the wall in my bedroom. Well, I plugged ion the cable they had given me into the box at the bottom of the downstairs door frame, and was somewhat disappointed (gutted) to find out that the cable they had given me hardly got to the top of the door frame, let alone up through the wall and into my bedroom. BUT, as Orange had given me 2 filters, I was able to solve the problem and get all the cables plugged into their proper places and get Broadband working. I was very happy. Delighted in fact. I was very nearly on or through the ceiling, with so much jumping upo and down. Yesterday was the first day that I had broadband, and I have already:
Downloaded updates for MacAffee Virus Scans

I am so happy, I love broadband, and I will be on-line for ages now. Messenger here I come. This dopes mean, of course that I can blog more. (It doesn't mean to say that I will of course!!) I have so much to do at the moment, what with coursework and essays and IT, but when I get round to it I will blog some more of my life. Its very exciting! Thats about all I can be bothered to write, so go and celebrate my happiness people! :))

WOW!!! lol im so jelous becasue i can only use the internet at collage and some sites such as bebo are banned and i cant play games and its basically a waste of space. Usually when i need to use a computer all of the damned things are booked up and i have to resort to hand writing everything which is basically crap! For example im supposed to have perfected my personal statement today and typed it up ready for a meeting with my tutor at half 8 tomorrow morning but the bloody things were booked so i had to hand write it which was a pain becasue my tutor wont like it and then im goig to be delayed for sending off my ucas form :( not good at all the deadline is like the 15th of december ARGHHH!
