Finally, we have a computer up and running with active internet can you say "WOO HOO"!!!!
Our cable technician was out this morning and in his words "I am amazed you were ever able to connect to the internet". Evidently, the cable modem we were sporting is so old they no longer support this model, to quote him "this thing is ancient". In addition, we had (3) connects at the main box, which had gone bad and barely any signal....wow!
It never ceases to amaze me at how I can pay the crazy amount of money I do every month for cable and internet services (to include equipment rental, maintenance fees etc) only to be told my equipment is "ancient". Wouldn't you think the cable company would contact their customers to advise they were phasing out certain technology and schedule an appointment to upgrade their customers to current equipment?
This would obviously make too much sense and probably cost them too much money. Instead they would rather deal with hacked off customers who have sporadic connectivity or no connectivity at all.....amazing!
Anyway, today's service call solved one of our pc issues so I have one computer up and running but I am still down two. No doubt my Linksys wireless router has bit the dust as well, so I guess I will be venturing out to Office Depot after work tonight to grab yet another in hopes of bringing internet connectivity to the rest of our house.
For now it feels really good to be able to post! It is amazing our dependent we have become on the world wide web! So stay tuned for a plethora of postings, I am about a month behind!
