Default MY INTERNET IS BACK!!!

Okay so I'll keep this as short as possible but for about the last week since a lightning strike my internet has been going down about every 3 minutes so I haven't made it on here.... Since I do all the customer service work AND all the IT work here I've been just crazy....what was the fix you ask? I had to have a brand new line and module installed at the phone company! I toasted every piece of equipment from my DSL router back into a module at the phone companies main site from a fricken lightning strike! But anyway, I'm back, one less headache to deal with and onto bigger/better things!

That sucks!

How far away are the fires from you?

I'm geographically-impared...

well I don't even know where the fires are at so I can't really say but I'm about 60 miles south of Canada and a 100 or so miles from idaho...

The biggest issue with the internet thing was that it was strong enough to blow a carbon suppressor at the NID which is controlled by our demon of a phone company... We have 1 and only 1 land line phone company in the entire valley and they are SLOW.....
