I have SO been wanting to update. and this time I can’t even blame it on my own laziness. we can just blame it on verizon
let me progress out what has been going on with me since friday
1. we took back the macbook. i didn’t have to pay the restock fee because i told them about the whole cd getting stuck. and the fact I had took it to another store to return, and got told that they didn’t take them back there because they didn’t sell them. which was a lie, they looked it up. they even had one in stock!
2. I bought an HP Pavilion Dv6. It is much <3. 3. spent all saturday morning making recovery disks 4. verizon broadband gets more f-ing horrible than it was to start with. I call to troubleshoot and they f-d up the whole system! seriously. went so far it couldn't even detect the modem anymore! 5. go back to best buy. geek squad determines that I can get another dv6 6. verizon continues not to work worth a hell. i get fed up with it. we go out to verizon and have it cancelled. yes i will have to pay up to 175 bucks but damn. i might have had to ..i don't know 7. went to att and they hooked me up. the guy even said where i live i might not get the 3gb network. i actually go in and out. but mostly in. i only get 1 bar but it is going well. after having used broadband daily and mostly ALL DAY for almost 9 months I know what my daily usage averages, and how much just tweeting and updating and going to mb's and all that runs. we generally do not use over 100MB or so a day. i have had it averaged out to use the whole 5gb we would have to use 167 everyday. and we never have went over so. after constantly getting wacky #'s since last night i turned the windows updates off(i mean its a new computer you have alot) everything is going well, then its like BAM shoots from 13ish up to like 30ish. well i thought it was from where i switched from the 3gb network to the 2 ( i live on the freaking line of where their coverage area is) then i thought its the anti virus updating..so i really can't tell. i just know to stay concious of the 2gb thing and i close out everything when it flashes in and out. its usually just for a second anyways. so we only have till tommorow to figure everything out so we dont pay activation and all that. we are on risk free trial. i really want it to work because we only have t-mobile left as an option and i'm not sure if they will work either? i just am not seeing how the usage is so different. it has to be the anti virus or something. while ago it went all the way to 100 and i had only been on 1hr-ish! then i was cleaning my room and left it on in the background and it went from like 30 up to 85..so i dont know i dont know. i hate not having time to figure it out. so to recap VERIZON is the root of all evil. i wouldnt have had to get rid of my other computer that i sold or anything. (i mean i like the one i have now i'm just saying) more latter. i will write about my new puter 🙂 ng
