I\'ve have had a strange year as far as Internet Connections go....
A year ago, a straight line windstorm took out a tree in our back yard. The tree fell straight on to the power line in our back yard, unplugging us instantly. A repair crew tried to stabilize the wire 2 days later. Suddenly huge white sparks went crackling through the air. One man narrowly escaped being electrocuted. Half of our block lost it\'s power. Needless to say, we weren\'t very popular neighbors for a couple of days. 
Throughout this entire year, my family has kept losing our internet connection. Several times (throughout the year) it was thunderstorms that did it. One night in early spring, I think, high winds knocked out our internet. The repair team that came out told us that someone had made a mess of our internet connection, and that it was a miracle that we had any internet at all for the past few months.
In August our internet modem burned out. My husband did not want to buy another one. Instead he started looking for other options. He finally worked out a good deal with A t&T. We had to wait 2 weeks for an appointment so we could get hooked up again.
The day they finally came out and installed everything was a great day. I thought all our problems were solved and that we would live happily ever after. Nope....
Tuesday evening Sept 11, we lost our on line connection again. I immediately I notified my husband.
This sums up the rest of our "fun":
9/12/12 - Repair people were supposed to be at our house anywhere from 4 to 8PM. We were stood up. At 10PM , after holding for 20 minutes, A T&T said someone would be out the next day anywhere from 8AM to 8PM
Thurs Sept 13 - While I was at a doctor appointment, a repairman showed up and worked on our outside lines where they said the problem was. My son was home and let the man in the house. He discovered there were also inside problems-- that he couldn\'t fix. He promised to schedule an "inside repairman."
At 8PM that evening, we called A T&T only to discover that nobody had been scheduled at all. We were told that someone would be out on the 14th somewhere between 12 and 4 PM.
9/14 Happily, we were not stood up again. A friendly repairman came out about noon and finally got us back on line.
I would love to say that all of our internet problems are finished and that now we will live happily ever after...But of course that is what I thought the last time! lol
So that\'s my story, and I\'m sticking to it... I am curious, however. Has anyone out in Desktop Nexus Land had ongoing internet connection problems like this? I\'d be interested in what you went through... Or are all of these problems staying on line normal???
Well, I hope our year of trouble is finally over. We shall see.......... |
