I'm still offline at home and becoming increasingly frustrated about it. It's a great "opportunity" to work on my character, but I'm still frustrated. The whole getting up early and staying late after work to be able to use the wireless here is...not my first choice of the way to spend my time! But I am very thankful I have a backup.
Last night I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T and received...no answers. They said a technician would come out between 8-12 today, but I had no phone call, no note on the door that one had been there, no green light, and no dial tone, so I think I'm still where I was before.
Except now I've added "provider shopping" to my list.
This whole mess has consumed most of my non-working time, so I really have nothing to report. It just seemed that while I COULD post...I SHOULD post.

Let me warn you that Brighthouse isn't any different. Our Pastor and our Church building got Brighthouse's cable modem not too long ago and we've had nothing but trouble.
It's probably Obama. He's forcing companies to have such horrible service that it would make us want nothing less than his all global wireless service.
Go on laugh...just wait.
Well I came home to a working system....so we'll see how long it lasts!
Ah Bekah! So sorry you're still dealing with internet problems! It's amazing how reliant we've become on it! I was at my mom's in WV over Easter and she didn't have internet. My hubby and I drove around until we found a wireless connection spot that we could go to once a day to check email and stuff! It was hilarious! At least you don't have to sit in your car in front of strange houses with your lap top trying to find a connection!
Oh Jody....if only you could have seen me on Sunday. I did drive around for a while, and finally connected for just a minute. That was when I thought I might need therapy. (No comment on that, Chris!!!) So I totally feel your pain! I'm so excited to read tomorrow's post from you to find out the next section of the story!!
I feel your pain lady!! I can easily feel lost when our internet goes out. It use to go out so much that we started an internet down log. We decided to keep track and we were gonna make them pro-rate our bill!! Luckily with some new equipment we haven't had to add to our log! :)
do you use dial up? You need to get cable!
I'd love having the no phone though I hate the phone
oh yeah i finally blogged again but you'll find it boring haha it's mostly sports
Phats - I finally moved on up from dial up and since I did, I've had nothing but drama. I did not have one minute of drama with dial up. (Although I also couldn't watch videos or log onto blogs that had a bunch of fancy backgrounds.) I had to call again tonight and spend another 25 minutes on the phone getting back on. Cable internet is sounding better and better!!
I shorry! I hope your week improves!
Love and miss you!
Got your message about the Essenhaus - best hotel stay ever- probably because it was a gift- but regardless, it was the best! Highly recommended.
Rach - MISS YOU TOO!! Hurry back to us!!
Sarah - Oh good! I love their food, but I wasn't sure how the hotel experience measured up. Hmmmm perhaps I should begin scheduling that. so many things to think about!
Bekah:
I haven't been brave enough to try wireless. But DSL has been good for us. After all you've been through, I do not blame you for wanting to look for a different provider.
Did your former dial up provider offer DSL? They sounded very prompt.
We have DSL through AT&T and haven't really had any problems. We also have a wireless router, but don't generally use it, so I don't know much about it's reliability.
Here's to hoping that you get all your issues worked out ASAP.
Tsofah - I stuck with my same provider from dial up to DSL. I stayed primarily because i'd not had any issues (at ALL) with them for all the years of dial up, so I figured that was a good sign.
Woops!
Christina - The only thing I have is a modem> i don't have the extra little thing I've seen at other people's houses. (Perhaps it is this router of which you speak?) I have no idea. Can you tell I'm computer stupid?
