Disconnected again. What are my options? Telkom sucks, twitterfox works offline

Yes yes I know twitterfox can not possibly work offline but somehow its the only thing that seems to work with my connection at the moment. Nothing loads, only twitterfox. Must be the port no or something not entirely sure why twitterfox would work while i have no internet connection.

Anyway, in South Africa i am not sure one can successfully run a business or blog online without being interrupted all the time. For the past week we’ve had a slow connection and I am now fed up with it.

Our ISP was friendly enough to let us pay the old price and keep the package but being disconnected all the time it does not seem like such a great idea anymore.

I need to be connected since my entire career is online, if there is no internet i have no job. That sucks. I guess I am just ranting now while being offline but thanks to this dumb communication system and laws we have in South Africa I can not be as successful as i really could be.
