Temporarily Out of Commission
« on: November 18, 2006, 06:33:06 PM »
My DSL connection is on the fritz after a week of rain and wind. Verizon is supposed to dispatch to repair this weekend - before Monday - since my phone line is completely out. Typically I have a 1.5 Mbps DSL connection. Right now it's negotiating at 384, and it has been down completely at times.

So, right now I'm at the mercy of Verizon. Hopefully they'll get out yet today to fix the problem.
I'm AFK until it's fixed.

Boy that stinks K  can sympathize with you  ...  right about now probably much like dial up     :P

Gee, it sure is too bad we don't have any linemen to fix things.

Things are crapping out all over, and Didit is out eating donuts somewhere...  :mad:  :help:   :zzzz:

Oh man,......no internet....bummer.
Whenever they get around to upgrading to FiOS, go for it.
My download speed is around 4950 mbps and soon to double at no extra cost.
Hope your connection Gets Well Soon.

I'm Back!

Thanks for the kind replies. Life without the internet does suck, but sometimes it can be a good change of pace.

Cobra - as soon as I can get Fios, I will. That's been on my wish list since I first found out about. Unfortunately, slower, lower Delaware is not high on the priority list for new tech.

And thanks for finally showing up Didit - those lousy lineman hackers....  :bang:

 ;) :)
