My internet will be cut tomorrow.
The phone company is from January first no longer using the copper wires (land line) and I have land line ADSL
internet.
I have ordered fiber but it may take 6 to 12 months before they can get their asses out here and dig a cable to my house, on the other hand I only had to pay 9900 SEK for it. My neighbors who got cable when it was first installed some years ago in the area had to pay 32000 sek.
So I will be mostly using my laptop and free wifi spots in town to go online. I will try to use my phone as a wifi hot spot, but I don't know how well that will work.
The phone company tried to install a solution using a antenna and the mobile phone masts, but they couldn't get a strong enough signal.
So, I'll be on here more sporadically for a while i think, depending on how well the phone wifi solution works.
I would think things in Sweden would be better than that... Keeping you offline for up to a year is unacceptable in this day and age...
Incidentally, Malmö is (IIRC) the model name of my bed, bought in IKEA!
Also, yesterday I started watching a Swedish horror movie called
Knackningar (2021). Haven't finished watching it. Will do tonight (from the beginning, for a proper watch).
What a messy post I've made, jumping from topic to topic like a bee... Sorry...
Well I have known about it for a while, if I had ordered fiber earlier I wouldn't have had to wait so long. We have had fiber here for quite some time, it's just stubborn me that decided that ADSL is good enough for me, and it was. And I didn't fancy paying 32000 sek when I already had ADSL that was working just fine.
Didn't know about knackningar, sounds good, will try to download it before my internet is cut of.
