Y5ZONE how I love you

Read this. Click to enlarge. And enrage.

I was trying to connect my computer to the internet in a Starbucks the other day and as the PCCW service I usually have the misfortune to have to use had failed me (a story for another time) I was randomly trying my luck with the other networks available. Connecting to the network "Y5ZONE" and hitting a webpage brought up this magnificent display of tawdry hopeless ignorance.

Firstly, and most blindingly obviously, if you've had so many reported issues, why not fix it? (I'm struggling not to capitalise my text here.) I know of no earthly reason why you shouldn't be able to log into whatever you like using FF3.6.3. It supports SSL. It renders HTML for God's sake. Browsers do have idiosyncracies and, as every web designer knows, websites don't always work first time in all of them... But, you miserable awful, sobbing pathetic excuse for an ISP, why don't you just make it work in 3.6.3? I presume your system is too arcane and bizarre to get past some or other security update that Mozilla has produced, but the onus is on you to fix that, not me.

Secondly, and this is the thing that really made apoplectic steam hiss from my ears, how, in the sweet name of Beelzebub, how am I to download an older version of Firefox if I can't connect my computer to your poxy internet connection? Huh? Answer me that, "People's Wifi Service."

Gaaaaaaah.
