How to wind up your ISP technical support

Here's the story.

First they get a wireless router and install ya desktop PC a large
distance from it. OK, it's not showing 54Mbps in the wireless applet,
it's showing 11Mbps instead and the applet is lying about 'excellent'
signal found at 11Mbps.

Ah well, so he sez - "the router is tellin' me ma DSL is sync'd at
5.3Mbps to the exchange, so 11Mbps between the router and me PC is dandy
enough."

"Now Adrian, why are my downloads in internet explorer not much faster
that the dial-up modem I previously had?"

A couple of hours later, my SDS drill and wire staples and nearly hidden
telephone extension wiring, fixed it. Broadband speed downloads.

The stats from this 'ZyXEL G-302 v3' wireless network cards were plainly
far too optimistic, but I can immagine someone installing all of the
stuff - clocking all the positive figures and somehow blaming the ISP
for the poor connectivity.

Could you post the actual problem or question. Reading through all that
makes it sound like you are having a conversation in your own head but
repeating it to everyone else - often as mentally ill people do.
What is it you are trying to tell the rest of the newsgroup?
