So i have been batteling for the last 2 months, to support a setup that we run off a hosted platform, as the subcontractor of a major integrator/telecom company.

in those 2 months we have been getting nothing but performance issues, because they have setup the vmware and network as a choked setup.

So each time they call me, to say chit don't work fast
Then, within minutes, i respond, investigate, and i tell em what the problem is: eg Yer chit don't work, fix it

For instance, they had forgotten to setup internet access on the machine i connect to.
I can connect to the machine, but once i see the screen, i can't do , download, or upload anything.
Then they ask me for logs, urgently.. but i can't get them off the machine
That, took 1 month to resolve

Next, the machine itself was bogging down on the CPU
They had to raise the specs , they were told that, within 5 minutes of logging the issue,
NAY, i had proactively told them about the issue that was coming, 3 days before they noticed
That, took 3 weeks to resolve

Now, they want me to setup a second machine, which bogs down, i need to download a file.
The file is 875 MB in size, the internet connection gives me 4.5 kb/sec
ETA , 51 hours.

I told them to EFFNG FIX THE INTERNET SPEED

Now the question is, who is faster... They, or that 14k4 BAUD modem that's currently doing the download???
