Finally got my internet back after 5 days.

I tried all I could think of. We called the phone company and they got us to try two things.

Those two things didn't work.

Do you know what the phone companies solution was? "You're on your own."

What the hell kind of service is that!?

I was so close to just disconnecting the internet completely and just using the local library computers until high speed made it out here.

Luckily I tried re-installing the Sympatico disk. That actually worked. Hallelujah.

Stressful few days trying to fix something, not getting any breaks or help from anyone else, plus being tired and cranky on top of it all.

Hopefully it will stay working for a little while. I'd be perfectly happy if I didn't have another problem with the internet until the end of the year when, finally, FINALLY we'll have access to high speed.

That is all.
