Just started a new job and don't want to say where yet, but we have a weird problem. Eight of us Laowai teachers are here in apt. dorms, and the school is providing Internet for free.
Trouble is no one is getting online. We don't know if the problem is with the school, Unicom, the local govt., or the contract between the school and Unicom. The school keeps telling us 'tomorrow' but tomorrow never comes.
All our Chinese colleagues and neighbors have Internet. Hmmm. A couple of people have tried to negotiate their own contract but Unicom has refused to sign them up. I'm not sure what the school's position is. Also, China Mobile and Unicom are refusing to issue us telephone cards- we have to get a Chinese person to get the card for us. What's up with that? In other cities I just bought SIMS cards on the street corner.
For now I have to go to the Wang Ba every day for terrible wifi. Anyone else heard of this? |
