No internet.
Phone company cut off the DSL line at 7:30 this morning. The tech to install the dry loop DSL line showed up at 9:30. He was done about 10:00 am.
Then . . . No DSL. The phone company screwed everything up. Only the phone company is allowed to work on phone company lines . . . no internet. And it stays and stays this way until the phone company finds the time to fix their error.
They were supposed to hook up the dry loop DSL and disconnect the regular phone line. They forgot to do that.
Called the phone company and they offered me a price to keep all the services that's about 25% of what we're paying them now. Little late in the game.
I asked why they could sell it to me now for that price when they couldn't afford to do that before. No answer.
It takes them 72 hours to disconnect the phone. Can't do anything about he DSL until the line is shut off.
Stupid idiots. Their mistake for 19 days and counting. Will they send me a check?
I doubt it.
I miss the internet.

Jury rigged the internet connection.
Land line is now off but internet is still not working. By connecting to the Dry Loop line in the basement i can get a poor connection. Slower speed and only 30% signal strength with a 12% s/n.
Still it works. Unless the dogs run past or the wind blows . . .
No concept of when the phone company will show up to rectify their gross stupidity.
Or was i stupidity or was it punishment? Punishment for their hemorrhaging customers?
Still, feels better to have communication again.
