Day 1120: It's been a battle ...

 really? Stabillo & pen sketch on journal page

TMI alert!

Even been in a internet battle?

Six days ago I left AT&T and moved to Cox Cable.

In search of speed, I bundled cable, phone & internet ...

and have lost the latter two at least twice daily ever since.

4 techs & internet down 11 times in six days.

Today Tech #4 came at 4PM and I suggested ...

a new modem/router, he agreed.

It didn't work, nor the second or third new modem/router!

 

internet battleground

Tech #4 called Cox CA support headquarters who tried, but ultimately gave a job ticket for Arizona support, the next step up.

Deciding it was a signal problem, AZ support gave a job ticket

for Atlanta support, evidently the top of the help chain?

At 6PM Tech #4 left me saying the signal would come on again when Atlanta fixed it, in 15 minutes or whatever time necessary.

I admit, I go through withdrawal without my internet.

Panicked, I was surely going to miss posting this Day 1120?

At 8:53 modem lights started flickering while 

being consoled by Superman on the phone. 

He had me pull up this url to test it and voila I now have 

59.62 download speed, and 6.76 upload speed. cool.

I know this is TMI, but thank you for letting me vent!

I promise not to bring it up again ... (I think).

89 degrees Santa Ana, CA humid, no A/C - 3 fans

A smile for Thursday ...
