All,

I haven't been around moderating much the last couple of days due to Internet connection problems.

Should be a temporary thing (or else my DSL company will be hearing some serious complaining).

I'm on when I can.

Turns out the phone line leading from the pole next to the street was broken. Weight from a branch, coupled with a very old wire, caused the wire to slowly bend enough to crack. I had sporadic Internet access while my phone was out. The technician said that DSL's frequency can jump gaps in a bad wire but analog phone service can't.

It was very weird to have some DSL use (albeit at speeds of 30k, mind you), but no dialtone from the same line.

Yeah, I've had my aerial drop go crazy too. Although mine was like 60years old, and shouldn't have been able to sustain DSL. Had to fight with tech support for about 3 days that it wasn't my modem, it was the drop. I WORK for the company, and they wouldn't listen to me. Idiots.
