Today I had an ADSL outage around 19:15 at my house. Since my provider my boots every 24 hours the line I thought it would once again come. When, after about 5 minutes still no IP on the modem was thought I even at times but I'll call a hotline ..
dödel_agent: Good evening $ provider_name , my name is $ dödel_agent .him I wanted to save a lesson in network topologies ..
CCJ: Hi, my name is $ CCJ my customer number $ Bar. Wiedermal have an interruption think it is the automatic reboot of the DSL line. Just takes a little long wait, now 10min.
dödel_agent: We call together only since 4min.
CCJ: Wonderful, I first wanted to wait, have a self-diagnosis made, then dial the number, ie 10 min.
dödel_agent: It just takes so long for a new IP.
CCJ: Aha? to renew a DHCP lease lasts 10 minutes? Thought This is done in seconds?
dödel_agent: A DSL network is something bigger.
CCJ: I just find it annoying to have all 24 a 15 min interruption.Since I had to verkneiffen genuine laughter.
dödel_agent: Ohh .. I can let it set for the reboot time to 3:00 in the morning.
CCJ: Yes, then please do so again.Well .. After some more banter, the conversation ended. But still had no IP. The agent has not noticed me, that I know all the internals of the provider, since I have worked there since time itself ...
That is because a former colleague into play ..
Shortly after I returned I was possessed by an IP Skype on the move and asks about whether a failure would be known. Well lo and behold, just had the time I had mine, yet another 150k customers the same problem.
nice when you get lied to so obvious and it still can remember the name:)
I'll keep you up to date .. will probably beat out one months for free.
