User: If i plug 9 pc's into a 16 port router and 1 internet it will share the internet through all the pc's right?
Support: All machines will be able to access the internet, but they will not share in a friendly way. One person will be able to slow everybody down.
User: So will plugging 4 internet sources into the router to be shared help at all or is it pointless?
Support: What 4 internet sources?
User: Instead of taking 1 cable from the adsl modem to the router take 4 of them. My modem has a 4 port switch inbuilt
Support: No, no help

User: I'm having trouble with product X
IT guy: I haven't used that product before
User: I followed the install instructions, but now I can't save any Word documents
IT guy: I don't know, I haven't used that product before

User: But I've only installed it
IT guy: That's more than I've done
User: Can't you help me anyway?
IT guy: If you managed to follow the installation instructions, why can't you follow me instructing you that I know nothing about the product?
