I haven't had good luck with things staying up here as of late. Not long after my 11 hours without electricity my cable connection up and died with no warning. The modem just sat there blinking its lights for hours trying to get a connection. Obviously I called my ISPs tech support which said it was something wrong with the line itself as far as they could tell and a tech would have to come out. The soonest they said they could get here was in 6 days. What!? 6 days!? That's crazy.

After a little bit of prying I found the only reason they wanted to take that long was because they wanted access into my home. I had already checked my lines as best as I could internal to my home so they could be out tomorrow. I call them them this afternoon and much to my surprise it's already working!

I'm a happy camper now. A geek going cold turkey off of the Net is not a pretty sight.
