The report that I had some how set my Sirius account into a “you’ve logged in too many times” state has worsened to some degree.

I finally called them. They told me to close IE, delete all my cookie and cache files, and try again. Fat chance of me deleting my cookies, so I fired up another machine that I hadn’t been on before, and tried it there. Same error message there. My home machine: same error there as well. I called back: ‘do you have a popup blocker or firewall?’ “Yes, I do but I’ve verified this on three machines across two different networks and it was working this morning.” ‘Let me try it here’ [same error message appears] ‘Hold on. Our techs say that you can talk to your ISP about this problem’ Believe it or not, I remained calm and simply retorted with “I’ve tried it on two networks with two ISP’s – one is the Microsoft corporate LAN and the other is with Comcast; you’ve tried it there and got the same error and I’m certain that you’re on yet another ISP.” ‘Hold on.’

When she came back she told me that she’d credit me $20 onto my account – odds are because I just paid them $50+ for activation and my first quarter. And because I would have to wait until tomorrow before trying this.

Nice consolation price, but this still sucks major, major ass. They offer Internet access to the streams, yet there’s a finite number of logins per day. Why? If I wasn’t a subscriber I would still be pitching a complete fit over it because it makes. No. Sense. What-so-ever. Completely illogical. Complete crap too, since I’m a paying customer. $12.95 a month and can’t get my account reinstated, much less get what I’m paying for. It’s like a bus that stops running that afternoon not because it needs repairs, but just because it was used too much that morning. Pft!

I’m just a complete loss. If I didn’t like the music so freakin’ much, I would have cancelled this on the spot. Heaven help them if I have no music tomorrow.
