    PM for Pooperscooter - Germany ain't all that

    Granted I'm tired this morning, owing to the 6 hour flight delay and sloping into the hotel at 3am.

    The wifi is still just as fecked as when I left in November

    And their customer service is slower than a slow thing, riding a slowmobile down slow Boulevard in slowville whilst donning a t-shirt that reads "me me me, look at me, I'm slow I am".

    So I cannot currently do any work.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      The drip by drip is so he can fabricate the elements, not exactly news that most of the SY01 posts are total lies.

      Obvious question is why if the service was lousy in November he's returned as a customer in January? Simple really there's not a shred of truth to the tale.

          Wifi works for my iPad. Not for my laptop.
          I rely on a paid for service from Telekom. It mostly worked ok for me last year.

          I cannot work as I need to retrieve and edit SQL files from my email account.

          The client does not have a working wifi I can use as it's a German bank.

          There are no coffee houses for miles around.

            All the German companies I've worked at, including banks, have had free wi-fi, its just that its only for employees but they do have a guest wi-fi link. You'll probably have to fill in a form and access will be granted, pretty much like most companies anywhere. Most hotels that I stay in now have free wi-fi as well. Here you are, free wlan hotspots in Bonn:

            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                I am aware of the free hotspots, but none of them are in range.

                I have filled out a request for remote access from UK but 4 months 5 months later it is still not processed. I suspect if I ask about wifi access, and fill out an Antrag it will not be processed today. It's not that I'm ungrateful for your advice, so please feel free to grab a lolly from the "good try jar".

                    Well, no WIFI means no work, simples. So down your tools, engage a german hooker and get some action.
