There isn’t any cable Internet providers in a place I’m living. So I borrowed mobile Internet modem from a friend to try. There are no unlimited tariffs, exorbitant prices for traffic, well I have no choice. I pull in a belt, say bye-bye to torrents and entertaining portals and concentrate on working. Alas this has been last not for long. Modem broke in two months. LED was blinking merrily, but: “Windows can not determine device or device malfunction”. Nothing has helped. I had to spend about two weeks without Internet, because the certificate of guarantee had been left with my friend in another city and I hadn’t planned any trip there sooner. I’ve stand just 3 days.
Internet withdrawal agony and disturbed by my absence clients made me doing something on fourth day. I decided to ignore guarantee and get the modem to the service immediately. A friend googled service center address for me and I set out for journey. In an hour I was standing in front of a building. The addresses are match. But the building was some block of flats (with wealthy roomers I would say) without any offices or just signboards. Harsh security guard had frowned and pointed me to unnoticeable door leading to basement. Yet that was not the office. In a half repaired rooms frames of servers were staying. There was nobody except for two guys of the geekiest appearance behind a glass door in a room littered with circuit plates. The workshop was here, but the office has had another address, so I was sent there. This time I had to take metro to the almost edge of the city and then walk a lot or look for a bus in a distinct I’m unfamiliar to. I decided to walk. In a half of an hour I found that I was walking in a wrong direction and I returned to the metro station. It drizzled through the sun and cold wind blown. I was just about to give up and return to home. I’ve stopped in a computer equipment shop to get warm and noticed miniUSB-USB cable by glance. My modem connects to computer with the similar one. A hazy idea has flitted in my mind. In two minutes the modem was connected to my netbook by new cable (don’t even ask me why I’ve taken the netbook). In tree minutes my computer gaily blinked with established connection. And just in 10 minutes frozen, tired but terribly happy (cause I had not got to the service) I was going home.
