In reply to hipparchia. They don't have any service, but four different companies print phone books for this area. They end up in my recycling bin as soon as they hit the front step.

The cats were holed up, so they wouldn’t have been much help, I’m in the phone book.

Well, Badtux, they upgraded from tin peach cans, to used Pepsi, and cotton to nylon string. There has been no speed increase. I seriously thinking of satellite because of what I do, which is basically text and small graphics with minimal multimedia stuff, and nothing truly real time. With my choice called CenturyLINK & Cox Cable, satellite is looking more reliable.

So this DSL provider uses tin cans and string to provide service?

I love the “competition” we get here. You go with AT&T or you go with Comcast or you go with satellite (which sucks). That’s “competition”. Yeah right.

i srsly considered jumping into the car and driving over there to look for you. i figured it shouldn’t take too long to find the house with 2 [gazillion] cats in the yard in a town of what, 200 or 300?

i know it’s not any fun for you, but i’m sure happy that your absence was only an isp problem. welcome back to the real world.

I was going to send you an e-mail, but I’m still shoveling through the spam… actually my filters deal with real spam, this a flood of pseudo-spam from Amazon et al.

This is probably a record for a major provider.
