Three - The Internet Non-Provider

I'm just feeling the need to vent some anger!
I'm with the crappest internet provider on the planet!  Seriously! I phoned them up about 2 weeks ago, absolutely fed up to the back teeth with their poor service, and got some bloke in Delhi on the phone trying to solve my problem.  Which, I might add, he obviously didn't - BECAUSE I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!! AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
There's only a handful of internet sites I visit regularly at home - facebook, youtube and blogger.  And every evening, without fail, these websites simply will not load up!  This is why my blog output is so pov, because I have to type it up in Word or Stickies or something, then copy and paste when I am on an internet connection that doesn't cost me £15 a month and ISN'T CRAPPY OL' THREE!!!!!
It's like, tonight, I have been online for an hour and a half, trying to type up 3 quick blogs - and I get part way through and this happens:
Now I know you probably can't read that - but what it says in the lovely red writing on the bottom is 'Could not connect to blogger.com.  Saving and publishing may fail...' which means 'The internet dropped out again you dufus and saving and publishing?  No chance!'  Do you know how annoying this is? Aaaaggghh!  You see, obviously as a woman I am able to multitask quite effectively, so I'm doing several things at once.  Being a Mac, my computer can handle it absolutely no worries.  But Three and their dodgy internet?  No, they suck!  I'm trying to send an online birthday card on facebook, upload some video on youtube(so I can put it on blogger) and update my blog - and my internet provider lets me down without fail - you could lay money on it!  Both sites can't be connected.  It's madness for me to be paying £15 a month for this non-service - yet when you phone up and complain, they tell you their service in your area (like the man in Delhi can really see this information) is working fine.
It's working so fine that Stella doesn't get her birthday card and thinks I've forgotten, and I can't upload video I wanted to post on my blog - which doesn't matter, as I can't save to my blog anyway!  I'll just have to go downstairs and use the neighbour's free internet instead (obviously they're not with Three!).  So everyone, take heed - do not get your internet connection from three - unless you like paying good money for absolutely nothing...
