I am back!
My internet was down for a whole bloody week! Now, at first I thought the reason it wasn't working is because one of my dogs (Copper, probably) had chewed through the cable leading from the pole outside into the house. Well Dennis replaced it and the internet worked, a little, it was really slow and then it stopped working again, because, Copper yet again, chewed the cable. So it was replaced again and it still did not work so I called the cable company and they sent someone out here to look at it. The cable guy said that the line was too small and it needed to be replaced and also a feeder added. He told me they'd be out the next day to fix these things...
... They did not show up. So I called the cable company again and the tech tells me there is an outage in my area... Ok.... Lovely. So I wait a couple of days and call them back, the tech I got this time tells me he sees no record of an outage in the area. So finally, today a tech came out and fixed it. SO now I am able to get online without having to go to the library.
