Nice knowing you all
My DSL connection is irreperably corrupt. This means that I have to reorder it entirely. From the beginning, like new.

Note they didn't TELL me this until I called them and demanded to know, even though they had contact information for me.

I can't reorder until Monday, when the sales office opens. I'm going to give them no end of grief for this in the efforts to make them bump me to the head of the line, but it could be weeks before my DSL is up and running again.

Sigh.

The isolation from people is driving me nuts. All I've been able to do is sit around, read, play the Sims... it's driving me crazy, absolutely crazy. I mis my friends!

since you have aol, why not just use the dial-up connection? yes, it's slow but at least you'll be connected.

but I hope that you will be back soon! I misses you lots!

My AOL is set up for broadband access, which means I have very few dial-up hours.

Maybe for the duration of that time, it would be worth your time to go ahead, call AOL, make arrangments to have the unlimited dial up for a single month, and then switch back when it's done. You might even get them to make a deal with you.

Unless something has changed, billing changes don't take effect until the new month-pay-period has started, which is around the 11th... so that wouldn't do much for me.

I DID manage to speak to sales today, with the result that my order is pending to be put in on Monday, and ideally the uptime will be a week. I got them to waive the activation fee, and I'm getting a discount of $10/month for the next three months, so I guess financially I win on this situation. Still, I'll be very glad when I'm reconnected.

I'll post my estimated start date on Monday.

Well, we miss you, hurry back soon.

Tell you what, to spur them along, tell them if they don't hurry someone's going to take a young, beautiful Jedi character, and turn her into a lesbian pervert that has an affinity for Golden Retriever bitches if you aren't back in two weeks.

They're DSL geeks, this is hitting them at their religion.
