Alas! My DSL connection.

I found out on coming here that Dial-up is connection is almost so expensive that if one uses internet for abt 1-2 hrs daily, its better to have a DSL connection. They aren’t cheap either but if it costs the same then why waste time with slow dial-up connection. So I called STC about 17 days back to enable my line for DSL connection. The operator there told me that it would take a few days and at max 5 days. So I was pretty happy. Days passed and after a week, I couldn’t take it anymore and called them. Their reply was that its in waiting status and you will soon be contacted by our technician. However 4 more days passed with no result so I called them and talked in an angry tone, so they replied “We are having problems with the lines in your area, so it could take about a month”. Already a week has passed, I am just wondering how long their month if their 5 days were that long !!!
