So finally all the parts to the Verizon’s mifi are here. I call them ever hopeful.

Me – I finally have all the parts. What next.

Verizon – put in the start up disc

Me - ….WHAT DISC?

Verizon – Did they forget to send the disc? Well you can download it.

Me- why didn’t people just tell me this before? I’m over my limit. I don’t want to download anything. (naturally I have to)

Verizon – I’ll take this session off your minutes…

Me – (yeah right)

It took bloody forever to download and just as I feared, without the antennae the mifi gets NO bars. The reception is unusable. If I dangle it off the back of the computer hutch it’s almost as good as the other one but it can’t hold the signal. I have to undo all the new software, put the mifi in a box then reinstall the old software.

Me – can you give me one reason not to call Hughesnet? There is no reason I should have to call every few weeks since Feb and get a different story every time.

Verizon – No you shouldn’t. Here’s half off your next bill (read please don’t leave us)

And this is the first time I was offered anything for my trouble. Wanna bet it doesn’t go thru?
