This is wierd...

A cube mate of mine just showed me that if you load the MegaSpeed web page, & then just sit there, a window will pop up offering you a chance to chat live with a technician. He was busy hitting on some chick named "Amy," asking her about her picture, etc. I grabbed his keyboard & typed in "Can I suck on your body parts?" She promptly closed the connection.

LMAO, smooth line, Viper!

 

[Soybomb]

Viper I really hope you dont try that on the hottie at work

 

[Viper GTS]

Nah, I'm not that dumb. It was pretty funny, though. I'm trying to get another one to talk to, but they're not coming to visit me. Maybe they recognize we're coming from the same IPs & block us.

I want that window to pop up but it wont. Aww man!

 

[piku]

I just got the window, clicked yes, then NOTHING happend! No fair! You screwed it for all of us Viper!

hehe. just what the heck kind of feature is "talk to live person after 10 minutes of idle time" anyway?

 

[Josh]

I got one! Talking to her right now; her name's "Sai."

 

[Viper GTS]

Hey! I talked to Sai a little while ago! She's reasonably cute, though "Amy" was better...

Sai's not bad...but is that her real picture? Here's our chat, wasn't anything "funny."

Sai: Hello. May I first have your phone number with AREA CODE so that I
can check to see if DSL is currently available to you?
>609-409-7792
>are you there?
>hello? Sai?
Sai: Hi..
Sai: what state are you in?
>New Jersey
>tell me; is DSL faster than Cable modem?
Sai: I don't know what cable offers, but unfortunately we do not support DSL
in NJ at this time.
>darnit!
>Do you know when you will?
>and what kind of prices do you offer?
Sai: Unfortunately we have no specific timeframes at this time.
Sai: The 256K Select service is $19.95/month, with this service you have
unlimited 2 hour sessions online.
>thanks for the info
>gotta go
>c-ya later Sai
Sai: thanks for visiting QWEst

 

[Viper GTS]

I dunno if that's their real pictures. Sai & Amy certainly had different pictures, though. And they're in NY, BTW. We found out that much. Amy told my neighbor she was on the east coast before I term'd their chat, & Sai told me NY...

unlimited 2 hour sessions? what the hell is that?

 

[piku]

uhh... I think those ladies are just using that tech support thing to pick up guys

i mean what the heck, they BOTH have readily avalible pictures?

 

[Viper GTS]

You can have as many as you want, but the system boots you off at two hours & makes you stay off for either 5 or 10 minutes. After the timeout, you can get back on again for another two hours.

Frankly, it sucks. Plus, Qwest makes more money off of it. With select service, there's one connection for every 3.75 customers. So assuming 100% customer load, each connection brings in 3.75x20 = $75/month. Plus if they're using Qwest as the ISP, they get another $20/month or so. A deluxe account gives you one connection to yourself, so it only brings in $30/month for the connection, plus $20 or so for ISP costs if you have Qwest for your ISP. $50 vs. as much as $150... No wonder they push the cheap connection.

Piku...

It's part of the Qwest popup. It has the chat window, & a picture with the agent's name under it off to the right. They probably provide the picture, but Qwest is the one that's putting it on the web.

[Chooie]

Ridiculous.. I'm talking to Sai now.

 

[piku]

Oh I see they have their picture on their all the time. I thought that they were sending to too you because you were chatting with them or something

(as you can probably tell I STILL CAN'T GET IT TO WORK )
