Well, I tell linux to the isp and those linux guys return back to me, even if it takes more than 24 hours. BUT, when dealing with stupid hot service, I learned I have to lie in order to get the service I want. As we all know, they just look for an excuse. "something in your pc/OS blocks, virus, trojan, ...........". I can't hear that anymore when I know the plain truth and even tell it to them and they don't do anything about it, except blaming me.
