I... am so... pissed off... at you guys... right now....
That's a vague shitty Eric Cartman reference. Anyway.
My fucking internet at home is still fucked up. My rental company has an in-house group that takes care of all our internet/tv stuff. They've been out twice, gotten about as far as acknowledging that there's a problem, and best I can tell not actually done much of anything to fix it.
They said they fixed the wall jack, but I later found out from the technician it was because he accidentally knocked a wire out of place himself. He also recommended I try repairing the IP address every time I can't get on. Okay, well, that's ALL THE TIME, and the shit ain't supposed to work that way.
I haven't changed a damn thing in our setup, so I know it ain't the router or either of our laptops. But it's been screwy since we lost our power in a storm a couple weeks ago. Two weeks!
Their business hours are something like 9am to 4pm. You know, I'm at work from at least 7:30 to 5:30 every day. Can you at least accommodate me by being in at, say 8:00 so I can only be a little late for work? Hell, your office is in the building next door to mine.
It's pissing me off. Seriously.

I should have known something was up because of all those metroblog posts on free wifi at places open late... my thoughts and prayers are with you at this dark hour.
I was trying to find some dinner last night and I needed to be online for a chat meeting from 9 to 10. I was freaking starving and it was making me cranky and I couldn't turn up a place to accomplish both of these at the same time. I ended up driving through at McDonald's and then going to Blue Moon.
What a pain in the ass. I hope it gets fixed soon. If it makes you feel any better, we have a leaking sink at our rental home, and we've been waiting A WEEK just for a RESPONSE from the property management company! I just sent them a snide email.
Are you sure your router did not go ker-plunk in the storm? Routers/cable modems/DSL modems/Old Fashioned Modems have the tendency to do that. You could try a new one from Best Buy and take it back if it still does not work.
Are you sure your router did not go ker-plunk in the storm? -- No, I'm not 100% positive. But I have checked all that I know how to check as far as that's concerned, and I'm pretty sure the technician guy looked at it, too. Plus, they were plugging their laptop directly into the modem and having the same problems we were having.
They put us on a different switch and boosted the power supply to our apartment. Not sure how that latter bit works exactly, but whatever. It's been fine for a good 10 minutes so far. Steady enough for me to stream a WNBA game online.
Oops. Spoke too soon. Buffering.... Buffering....
