[DUG] [OFF TOPIC] Internet connection is not stable

That I don't know, maybe you can borrow one?

Something else that I learned from that experience was that (with 
Telecom) your login is tied to the phone number, so that your username 
and password are not really required - Unless you have a static IP, in 
which case if you supply the wrong username / password you don't get 
your IP.
