Ok so a bunch of users, actively taking part in the forums here www.go4b.net/forums started a petition complaining about the quality of service. We said we will publicize this. The originator of the petition threatened the ISP that if no action was taken, they would file a lawsuit. Apparently a smartass from the management was reading this and got involved. He said that whoever posted there would get there connection cut off and would be taken to court. Whoever were sorry for what they did must apolgize formally. I challenged them on the forums by bring out three things.
1. How would they confirm who posted.
2. Someone would bring out the ircay matter if taken to court.
3. I said in that same thread, I was sick and tired of there lack of service and was changin ISPs.
It was later that day that I found out that this smartass had been apparently beaten up by the guy who had orignated the petition. At about the same time, I became the third person whose MAC had been blocked. So Inext day I went to their office to complain. Told them they couldnt do this. Gave me an apology letter which I was ready to sign. Told me not now; tommorrow their legal team would call my dad up and say what I had done. I was quite scared. They added to that "You have committed a crime, a fraud and connot leave this coutry until this case was solved" ...Went home and told my Unc what had happened. Also, he had called the same morning and was told that the "kids had done some prank" ...So as it happened, my uncle rejected by idea of going to the office. He even told me I shouldnt have been there today. He called up, but the usaually POS costmoer service did nothing. That same smart ass was telling everyone that my Mac ID had been unblocked. Whereas clearly it hadnot. Day 3, my uncle called up this smartass, talked to him and my uncle said ok fine I will sign a lawsuit against the company for real. And that you cannot do this stuff without informing parents of those under 18. So he got scared and had to restart the connection. Now he has banned me from the forums and tells everyone that my uncle wished to file a lawsuit and therefore their mac id has been banned. Also, he didnot call anyone of those 150 people who had signed nor did he block thier connection. I think that manager of their's is disturbed mentally? Power hungry or what? I seriously need to inform their CEO about this. But what if something happens and they close my connection? My uncle will kill me
Also I am not thinking of changing cuz this is the only affordable "broadband" connection available at the time
