I'm kinda speechless, but thoroughly grateful.

Well, the button will be staying up, if only because people asked.

Sorry for the delay replying, but my cable internet was down...AGAIN. I just got it back after reading Suddenlink the riot act and bitching at the tech that came for about 15 minutes.

My issue is a recurring problem. Something keeps burning out the repeater that serves my house and my next door neighbor's house every 1-2 months. They keep replacing the repeater, but not fixing the problem which makes them fail.

This tech promised to get a line crew down here and investigate to try to find the issue. So, hopefully, I'll lose my internet for a little while again today while they take my segment of the cable down to hunt down the problem.

Working for a Telco as I do - that's a good way to have additional "recurring problems" on your line.

"That's funny, those jumper leads keep popping right out of there! Must be thermal expansion/contraction."

"Certainly, we can fix that - however the problem is in your internal wiring, so you'll be charged at our contracting rates. Alternatively, you can engage a private contractor to complete the repairs."

Don't piss off your local telco guy - same goes for network/app Admins.

What! Why does my computer image have a startup song of hit me baby one more time by britney spears??!!!! Yeah, I always try and make sure the IT people like me, besides, if you've been there and done that, then you know how hard and underappreciated their jobs are... nobody cares about them when everything is going right...

I have internet connection that goes on and off. It is on broadband. I have ask the telco why and they always say it is my computer problem even though I have changed my computer early this year yet the problem persist.

Sigh, it is never their fault. I said probably it is the box, and they said maybe but that will cost me another $150 cause the old one is bought 4 years ago.

I just have to live with it.

Well since I work for the local Telco company as a network admin for a local hospital I am a double threat.
