For the second day in a row we have had our internet down. I had a list of things to do, including visit with my friends here.
I also want to get started posting or writing for other sites. The internet is going to be my job. I need more money.
Instead, I have been offline
I will try again tomorrow.

@GardenGerty Disrupted cables are something that cannot be avoided.

This is a very rural area. My provider gets its services through another third party according to the e mail, and the third party had a cable cut. Construction projects are SUPPOSED to check before digging. Harumph.

I explained to @Asylum that the cable that feeds, some distance from here got cut. Which means some fool did not call and locate the cable before digging.

I am told that this is the best and most reliable provider here.

I now have to ISPs just to take care of such eventualities.

I do not think there is a second ISP available in this rural area, however I am going to get a mobile hot spot for traveling and this type of situation. My old one wore out.

It has been frustrating. I am sure it is for the people who are having to repair the cut cable.

It gave me a good reason to be outside some, though.

It is a real distraction from good intentions.

The let us know that they have a third party provider and the cable for that provider got cut, so they had to repair.

That's a true bummer. I would be so frustrated. When I have an issue I make sure they know I work on line and their problem is costing me money. Ugh!

I hope that they can get everything sorted out! Have you expressed to them that the internet is your source of income and is thus needed?

It is even more urgent for my husband. We will get a mobile hot spot for emergencies and travel. It was a cut cable that our company gets their connection from. I know at one point it affected towns for twenty or more miles around us as well as us. It is so very rural and isolated here.

that would be pretty frustrating, still I guess one could get everything done, so as to be ahead of the game once the net is back on
