I am so frustrated right now! We have had so much snow and rain in the past couple of weeks, and it is starting to mess with my internet. I don't know if it's because the wire that is buried in my yard is getting wet or if the connections on the pole are water logged, but I keep getting booted offline. I was trying to play a game on Facebook, and every time it tried to load the page, the connection disappeared. I thought it might have been Facebook, so I tried to do a little blog hopping.
It did the same thing. I tried calling my internet provider, and I got a message saying that they have had several calls about the service in this area, and they are looking into it. I guess they don't understand that I work from home, and I have to have reliable service. To be perfectly honest, this is really the first time I have really had an issue with them. But, if it happens now, who's to say it won't be an ongoing problem. Maybe when we move I can talk Junior into looking into wild blue satellite internet. In fact, depending on where we move, we may not be able to continue with our existing service. It's funny how down here in the south, when they build new houses, if there isn't a high demand for cable service, they won't run the wires to those houses. This means entire neighborhoods have to rely on satellites for not only television, but internet as well.
Whatever happens, I will have to have reliable service. I mean, my cats on Happy pets can't feed themselves.

We have all cable here. Phone,internet and TV. Our internet was down a short time yesterday. Our TV has been down for almost 24hrs. Can't live with them. Can't live without them.
LOL about the cats. I do understand how it is to be without your Internet. It is like we can't connect with our friends! Stay safe. We have had four cars in the ditch in front of our house already.
