ISP Screws up Internet Connection and Arrests Customer

Next time your Internet Service Provider (ISP) stops by to fix your computer connection be very careful what you say to him.  Apparently a new policy from ISP’s is: if we can’t fix the problem we will have you arrested.  A Nova Scotian playwright was arrested for threatening an ISP Technician, telling him that she would keep him hostage until her Internet was up and working.  If the technician felt like a hostage then aren’t we hostages to the Internet Service Provider?  When we are cut off from the Internet that is the equivalent of being placed in a cold white cell and feed bread and water.  Now this story is from our wacky northern friends,  referred by some as Maple Lovers or for the rest of the world just Canadians. But I’m sure the Internet Service Provider’s will love to use this Police State policy to arrest anyone who complains about there Service. Next time your talking to the Customer Care Representative over your Cable, Internet or Phone issues just remember to be nice because if they don’t like your attitude they can send you to Jail!
