What is up with MMORPG servers?

Okay, so I decided to pick up WoW again now that my HL2 phase is finished, as well as my GTA:SA phase. I am still partially in a KOTOR2 phase, but it is only off and on. Wow, is alot of acronyms in two sentences! ANYWAY, so I am playing WoW again as of Sunday night, not for a long time... then Monday I play a little as well, both my days off. I planned on playing all morning Tuesday though, before I had to go to work... but of COURSE I wake up extremely early, depriving myself of 3 or 4 hours of sleep, just to find that the servers are down for maintenance till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon! WTF? Now, certainly this could be just a coincidence, but it seems anytime I plan on playing in the morning... they are down for the majority of it. I don't know if they just WANT to piss off morning players or what, but they should really think about doing maintenance sometime in the WEE morning hours when less people are playing... of course that would make too much sense, so they don't. Seriously though, what freaking kind of maintenance requires 6+ hours anyway? Argh.

Anyway, I did my taxes today too, and all I can say is that I fucking hate dial-up connections. A 13 meg file(the indiana state tax prog that came as a free download with turbotax) took almost an HOUR to download! I seriously cannot stand this slow ass connection much longer, I don't understand why Loogootee can't get DSL or Cable. We have the potential and the hardware for both as far as I know, but none of the companies in town offer it! I am potentially trying to get a satellite connection going, thanks to my dad giving me his hardware... but we keep putting off putting it up, because it will be a bitch to get aimed and set-up, PLUS costs like 70 bucks a month... but since I am desperate I will probably end up paying it if it works even slightly better than this.
