Morning guys. Remember a couple of years ago when AT@freaking T hooked up my neighbor to the internet and by mistake(?) disconnected me. Yeah what a bunch of bull! Well it took them a week to find it and get me re-connected. Internet has been wonkey ever since. I noticed at the time that there was an abundance of ATT trucks around the neighborhood. The broken link was found at an upstream terminal box at the end of thestreet. Welllllllll this past Thursday, there was an abundance of ATT trucks working around the neighborhood and everything was fine
then……..nothing! Red light on the modem and couldn’t restore it to save my butt. I placed a call to the tech center ( based in India?) to get it fixed and was told, sure Guy will be there next Tuesday. I walked outside and saw a bunch of trucks in and around the neighborhood, walked up to the nearest one and asked whats up. Guy says, fixing up your neighbor. I told him my dilemma and he asked when it happened. I told him about an hour ago, explained what happened last time and he blanched. Told me he would look into it. That was last week. Today is Tuesday and we shall see what the wind blows in. Not even going to let him into the house unless he finds the break is inside. I don’t think it is. My guess? Deja Vu. Got me again. Ill let ya know.
Update #43
Guess what? Yes I am that good! The internet problem was exactly as I described it. Yes a neighbor needed repair work on their line and YES I was the one who had his line cut. SMH!1 Well that is just another time I hate being right. But anyway in case you didn’t notice, we are back again.l I will give this new line time to settle in and the Scheduled radio will come back tomorrow at sign on if all goes well. Mark your lines guys!!!!!
