Says who? The person who says so seriously hasn’t been to India. Or maybe he just never had to deal with Exatt (read: evil ISP). These guys are the bane of my existence. If it weren’t for them, life would seriously be a lot easier. I have 7 points to this post.

1) The guys at Exatt can read minds
No other way to explain it. Got to submit an important project? Need to do some research for a subject? Need to write an assignment? Want to learn something? Got a customer/competition deadline to meet? Want to audio chat with a family member?
If any of these are true for you, you can guarantee Exatt will be down. 9/10 if you have something important to do, they seem to be down. You could say its bad luck if it happens a few times but when it happens for 4 straight years, you know something is fucked.

2) They can redefine what ping stats are supposed to be!
Here is my current ping stats to google.
Ping statistics for 64.233.167.99:
Packets: Sent = 592, Received = 139, Lost = 453 (76% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 300ms, Maximum = 320ms, Average = 303ms
In case you’re wondering how I’m here, its because I am typing this out in scite now. May be when Exatt deems I haven’t got anything important to do on the internet (refer #1) it will allow me to come online.
