My internet hates me

Mirrored from Oh Clementine. You can leave any comments there.

A few weeks ago, there was a huge storm where I live. Around the same time, my internet connection started cutting out randomly. This is probably related, although we don't have any proof.

Originally, we thought that our router was dying. We reset it, and when that didn't work, bought a new one, but continued to have the same issues. We called Bell and let them know that we were having problems. They sent someone to fix our lines. We also got filters for our phones and a new wireless modem.

Apparently none of that worked, because yesterday we had about 3 hours total of on-and-off connectivity. My mom was on the phone with a technician for a few hours, and eventually he told her that he really doesn't know what's going on. We have another repairman coming today (he should be here within 45 minutes), but at this rate, who knows if that will help?

Basically, this is just a note to say that if I'm not around much in the next little while, you can chalk it up to our fantastically bad internet connection. It's kind of hard to blog when you get 10 minutes of connectivity followed by 3 hours of… well, nothing. In the little time I do have to go on the internet what with the connection cutting in and out, I catch up with my feed reader, check my email, check Facebook, etc. Blogging is just not my top priority right now.

Hopefully I will be able to come back soon – it's really not convenient to have such a terrible internet connection.
