My cable modem died some time last night.
I'm having a bit of trouble with my cell phone service since Verizon
bought out Altel - Verizon's tower is about 300 feet closer than Altel's
tower was, but Verizon's tower is behind a hill from where I'm located.
I used to be able to make phone calls from my desk, but now I have to go
outside.
Makes troubleshooting cable problems over the phone with Time-Warner a
bit of a PITA.
I was able to defeat TWC's voice-response hell system & actually talk to
a real person, and convinced him it was actually the modem that was at
fault.
The office where you return/exchange equipment is only about a mile from
my house, so once I convinced the guy on the phone it was a bad modem it
only took a few minutes to exchange it & get back on line.
But it got me to thinking I really need a POTS land-line here at the house.
Unfortunately AT&T still has an absolute monopoly on residential phone
service here in Raleigh. I cannot get service from AT&T without paying
extortion, which I refuse to do.
Anyway, I'm back. Y'all probably didn't even know I was gone.
Not going to get any work done around here today, and I got out of bed
before noon specifically to do that.
Oh well.
