Is this week over yet?
Mar 26th, 2008 by justsimplyholly
Between the puppy deciding that 4:25 AM was a good time to wake up and getting my son up and around for a program that he’s going to this week the morning was rough. But when you add the fact that we’re still having massive internet problems it makes things even rougher! This morning between 5:00 and 6:00 our internet worked for a total of about 15 minutes, if that. My husband once again called tech support, they walked him through a couple of different things that the tech support guy last night didn’t have him do, and it seems to have done the trick. But the guy this morning restated what the one last night said. There is something wrong with our line, our speed has maxed out at 2/3 of what it’s supposed to be and averages about half of the max speed they registered. They apologized for the fact that Monday is the earliest they can get a technician out here, but said that when he comes on Monday they are going to have him run a deidcated line directly to the phone jack that the modem is plugged into.
We’ve been dealing with problems with our DSL since the day we moved in here, it’s been one problem after another! If I had the option to go elsewhere for my internet service, I’d do it in a heartbeat! But out here in the sticks, my only other option would be to go with Satellite internet and the starting costs are just too high considering that it’s not known to be the most stable internet. Yes, sometimes I do think anyting would be better than what we have, but it’s another one of those things where you just cannot justify the extreme expense of the initial set up!
I feel bad for the kids though! They’re both on their Spring Break this week and with everything that has happened it hasn’t been the best of vacations for them! The week started off with my having a broken tooth and my son having the worst cold I think he’s ever had in his life and now mid week we’re having strangers on the property and major internet problems. At this rate I can see myself checking into drug rehabilitation in the near future! Hopefully things will chill out for the rest of the week and we can just enjoy our time!
