There is nothing more nonsensical in China than the Chinese State run companies. I’ve just got off the phone with China Telecom (the only ISP here) whom have succeeded in being more short sighted than I can cope with!

Our office is in an old building that only has 1MB internet, they’ve just installed a 16MB fibre optic line into the building, I know this because they’ve put posters up telling us how exciting this is! I call up to upgrade, it’s only £70 more for the year—HOWEVER we can’t upgrade until May next year because we have to wait for the existing pathetic ADSL contract to expire.

I try to explain to the girl that this is ridiculous and I don’t mind paying, she tells me that I should get in a taxi, go to their shop halfway across town, get a number, sit in a waiting room for half an hour with my passport where I “might” be able to find someone who will give me a different answer.

*sigh
