...to NTC.....those sons of bitches

What's your NTC story? You can thank me for having Interent/TV included in the apartment rent :lol:

[HAULN-SS]

Btw - NTC maybe isn't as bad as it once was. I was just at JMU this weekend - standard cable package is now like 100 channels. several movie channels as well.

yeah, they still suck..i'm just saying..not AS bad.

Also graduated. Was not a fan of the main speaker and his push for the Peace Corp which is great but not necessary for the given occasion. Our speaker for the College of Science and Mathematics was a retiring Biology professor and was much more enjoyable. Moving out sucked but the BBQ/Parties were fun and will be missed. :? Now its just the waiting game to hear back / decide on grad schools.

everything about them was terrible - service, price, connection. i stopped calling in to complain because i felt like talking to a wall would be a more intelligent conversation. hate, hate, hated them

Stongeate had just been built when we moved in (we were in one of the first 4 buildings down by the road, the rest were still under construction). When I say, we, I mean me and 3 other CS majors. So being the cheap asses we were we got 1 network connection (in my name) and an 8port hub and 8 port switch. Using the switch and hub we hooked up about 14 computers to it with a Linux box as the 'router'. So to NTC they were giving us 1 IP with 1 computer on it, but we had many, many more behind it. We also ran a website off that linux box, <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ripoff-ntc.com">www.ripoff-ntc.com</a><!-- w --> :lol: that showed how to setup the configuration we were running, complete with scripts to configure it and network diagrams. Well, after 2 years :roll: NTC caught on to the deal and threatened me with violations to their TOS (terms of service), going to sue me, get me kicked out of the apartment/school, bla, bla so I said hey, lets have a meeting and discuss this. So we did. I went down there with a copy of their TOS and a description of what we have done (complete with diagrams). Well they had printed off the entire website and said it was a violation of their TOS. I said prove it. Well they couldn't so his bitch ass wife just kept yelling at me. The 3 network techs in the back kept their mouth shut until about 45 later when I finally got tired of going back and forth with dick, dick's wife and the lawyers I point blank asked the network techs what had I done that violated the TOS, everyone looked at the head tech and he said, nothing. I picked up my shit, asked if we were done, dick said yes and I walked out. There was about 4 months left of school, never heard a peep out of them about it since, then the following year our rent went up and TV/Internet was included in the rent, funny part was it was actually a little cheaper for everyone who was already paying for 4 connections/apartment. lol

Oh we had Free HBO (they should put better locks on the wiring closets) and were running a file server off the linux box as well and doing advertising for this insideguide webiste that paid us per click. We had an IRC channel running that had a list of files, people requested a file, it opened the ad page in their webbrowser then served up the file, we made about $200-$300/month off that little scheme They never said anything about that though, mostly b/c we never talked about, this is probably the first time I've ever put that story in print...

[ScottyB]

man...i wish i lived with more CS majors.

that's a story to tell your kids, for sure. that must have been the greatest feeling ever, just walking out after serving them up a nice hot platter of Ownage.

oh it was great, however, looking back at it now, even though I hadn't done anything 'illegal' (as far as they know) they could have made my life a living hell, much like the RIAA is doing now with all these college kids, shit like that really pisses me off.

[HAULN-SS]

Heh - yeah, I had some troubles with connection sharing with them in P-run one time, with a wireless router I had bought. They kept bitching about it, so I turned it on, switched the cables and let it broadcast DNS info to squire-hill and it took down the whole area - they had their network guy out there like half a day later to turn off my ethernet port, heh. It really is lame as shit that they charge per room - biggest rip off ever.

btw..isnt HBO free anyway? I know it was at P-run.

Maybe now :lol: (we had to pay $5/mo for HBO).

Dumb shits ran 2 sets of wires to the apartments, HBO/Not HBO, in the network/tv/phone closet they had 2 distribution box's, one labeled HBO, I just moved our cable from the NON HBO, to the HBO one. 8)

[HAULN-SS]

haha..what a lame setup.
