Just Thoughts

We had an Internet problem and so I called KEMS because apparently my bros can’t pick up the phone and do the job themselves, the operator informed me they had a maintenance issue and that’s why we were reduced to a dial-up speed

According to Bashar’s post, it was a link problem and they should’ve solve it so it was a surprise when I got home from work and still our speed hasn’t picked up

So I called again and they informed me they are updating my record and to check in 5 minutes. I went to sleep, woke up, had my futoor and decided to give them a call because still the problem isn’t solved

The guy concluded that there is a problem with our telephone line and since I was in a good mood I told him I will look into it and then call back

Checked out our DSL modem and heard some sound as I shaked it, good excuse to open the thing and see if any pieces have fallen out, searched for my tools that I got out of attending one of Microsoft’s seminars -a girl has to have her tools-

It was just a piece of broken plastic, so I got out another old DSL modem and configured that and connected it to my room’s socket and still the problem’s the same. I wanted to disconnect everything

Called my bro downstairs and told him to remove the telephone line and the splitter/filter and to my surprise when he told me that the telephone was directly connected to the wall without the filter … OK where is it ?? So that’s the problem

See I like to think I learned a thing or two when it comes to IT stuff and my family, they are a destructive unexplainable force and good thing my last trip to Jarir that I got a spare DSL splitter even though we didn’t need it. Got that out of the box connected it to the telephone and all things went back to normal. Called the ISP to adjust our speed and now all are happily Internet-ing away … My bros with their war games and chatting and me with my downloads

KEMS has a speed test site link

So spare parts, I need to go get another splitter for the future, a power module, RAM just in case, VGA cards and perhaps a motherboard because with my family you never know !!! and you wonder why I am beginning to hate my job … I just can’t have a break !!!
