Finally the cable modem is up and running!! I already knew the cable modem wasn't faulty, yet Starhub contractors insisted they were. Learnt one lesson from this, and that is not to trust those so called 'professional' contractors too easily, they can easily fraud you of your money too!! This is the case with me and my experience with Starhub, since I moved house, the signal in the new house has a problem so the contractor that came to activate the signal said the transponder and the cable modem needs to be changed and it works out to be around $160 altogether. However I said no and in the end they took the new modem and transponder with them, since they insisted my cable modem was spoilt. Yesterday I checked up the user's guide for the modem and checked that a blinking 'power' light is due to the modem doing startup diagnostics and I called the Starhub Technical Assistance hotline again. They promised to check it up for me and call me back but no calls again. Totally frustrated with their service attitude and to trust their contractors not being able to differentiate a faulty modem and a fully operating one!! (or I wonder if they were trying to force me to buy their old goods that was keeping dust in their warehouse!!) Anyway this is to warn people not to get taken in easily into being goaded to pay additional service before checking out alternatives!!
Was quite tired today when I went home and since my 2 little cousins went back to Malaysia already there was not much people left at home and more quiet as well. As for today's main news I guess it has to be England's defeat to France. I wonder why many find it shocking, given the fact that France world ranking is ten places higher than England's and England's fans are really a bit fanatical abt their team since they always feel indignant when England loses, like when they lost to Brazil in 2002. (Sorry if I have angered any England fans though) But I still believe that in any competition, the best team wins!
