More Bars, More Places...

Colin decided to get sick on the school breakfast on Monday, so I was called to come pick him up from school. I've lost so much work between the kids getting sick and the stupid flooding that it's a wonder I'm still financially afloat. What really got me burned was that he wasn't really sick. As soon as he was home, he was bouncing off the walls. Almost doubt he was actually sick at all at school. At least it bought me some time to unpack more things and check the connection. As it turned out, the connection was dropping yet again. Another call into AT&T...

Starting to really regret switching over to AT&T. In the past week, I've had to place 10 service calls, have had 4 technicians and an engineer make house calls, went through a DVR, 2 cable boxes, 3 residential gateways and had all the telecommunication wires and fittings replaced in the house, and my connection is still is not always solid up. TWC was definitely more expensive, but at least their uptime was near perfect.

This time the connection seems to be holding a little better. It's only dropped twice that I know of since the engineer came out and rewired the data lines leading upstairs. He also changed the fittings outside and made a call to get the cable line from the neighborhood box buried. Apparently they neglected to do that during install like they were supposed to. We'll see how it holds up after they bury the line.
