OK... Let's see how well I can put this together.

5/2, 2:00 AM or so - DSL cuts off. That's no big deal, given how 2 AM is usually around the time that Bell starts to do maintenance if that's on the schedule.

5/3 - Still no DSL. I'm not terribly worried given that there was still some rain outside and I assumed that the line might have gotten wet. Of course, it didn't come up all day.

5/4 - Again, no net. Now I'm starting to get a bit worried but at least the "DSL" light on my modem's coming on now. It just isn't staying put.

5/5 - Net came on for a few minutes, and I got to do a couple of things online to basically alert people (like staff) that things were flaky... then, of course, the thing dies again.

5/6 - I start playing Final Fantasy 9, Sword of Mana, Robowarrior and Faxanadu. Hell, I need SOMETHING to pass the time.

5/7 - Back up for about an hour or so, and I offered up a second update to staff and assured everyone that it looked like things were fine. Of course they weren't.

5/8 through 5/10 - Status quo. I was this close to calling Sympatico's tech support, but... I've heard horror stories, and they make you go through the idiot scanning service (otherwise known as Level 1 Tech Support) before you get someone who's not reading off a script. :\ I decide to give it one more day.

5/11 - YAY! Net works as of 11 AM! That's great news!

...Oh, and at 9 AM today I had my wisdom teeth removed, which makes it an anti-climatic return back. So hard to eat/drink the first day... face swelling up... need to play catch-up here... no idea if painkillers are working or not... ugh.

So there you go. Figure I'll be online as much as possible the next 2 days at least to make up for lost time. Not a fun way to start summer vacation, that's for sure.

Now THAT was a funny post....


Welcome back, Colleen. My Cable crashed like that a couple months ago, and we even had a service technician come out. Said that he couldn't do any thing and to just wait it out. A week or so later, it's back on. Stupid connections

...no backup dial-up or something? My ISP actually offers a dial-up number which costs per minute, but is good for emergency situations where my DSL is down.

Needless to say, I never had to use that with my current ISP.

Bleh, the company should've offered backup dialup as already mentioned. At least, when I was running an ISP, I would've.

Anyways, you're not alone with the internet thing...

My old ISP (also known as my boyfriend) 's internet went down four weeks ago, and was declared Dead (by me, in a towering rage) just over a week ago after not even a blip of internet for three weeks straight. I ordered ADSL and it was connected yesterday. I am currently torrenting up a storm now.

Actually, Kitten Yiffer/Taryn, I do have backup dial-up... but... I kinda opted to save $25 and not put a 56k modem in my PC when I bought it last year.

I'd love to be torrenting right now but I'm at 30kb/s download and 80kb/s upload.

I'm going to have to stop torrenting so um... vigorously.

I'll run out of download quota and get throttled down to dialup speed at the rate I'm going, muahahaha!

Reminds me of this a few years ago, except it wasn't quite as bad in my case ... I think only once did I have a full day of no Internet

I'm sure it really did seem like a long downtime if you counted one day too much, both here and on the ACS

...You SHOULD have 4, Trapster. Or some even number, I'd have to think.

*points at Anya* She has 3 but only because she's only been able to have one taken out so far.

Well if they came out straight then that's fine but you should still check with a dentist to see if they'll cause you any problems. Just make sure to brush them REALLY well.

All four of mine were still under the gum and straight - but they were a bit hard (texture-wise) to get out because of all the milk I've drank.
