I was already somewhat perturbed by my long term ISP. Usually I have good service, and excellent help, on the rare occasion that I need help that is. The older modem supposedly most likely reset itself after an "update". I told the tech I've never had that happen before, ever. I didn't know they sent updates to the modem. I personally think it is more nosey stuff, and maybe my older unit wasn't as friendly as they make them now. My power, dsl, and ethernet lights were green. There is one thing that makes me think it even more, but I will keep that to myself. I am tired of these big companies insisting on getting in your business. I already closed the account for Bill Me Later, than Pay Pal. Now Ebay I have tried to close too. I really hated to close the Ebay one, even more than PP. But I can't agree to their new terms. I don't want my data shared. I don't want my personal info floating around for some low life to use, or sell. I don't want to be called or texted with "offers". I have always been a private person, and this just rubs me the wrong way.
I would have just told this ISP to forget it, and get a new one, but the competition here really stinks. The cellular ISP would have worked, but they wanted to tie it to my phone, and put me on a data plan. HA. I want unlimited data, and I don't have a smart phone. I have a basic cell phone, that I rarely talk on. I only have it for emergencies mainly. The internet is vital to me, and I prefer a desk top computer. I don't have cable, or satellite, or anything like that.
I am looking forward to the HHV sale. It won't be a big buy for me, thanks to my modem purchase. But I will order enough for a little while.
RJ, I am very happy for you and Calve. Being in love is such a cool thing. I am not holding my breath on falling in love again, or marriage. If it happens, that would be awesome. It would take a special guy to deal with me....rotflmbo. I am lucky to have my dog, and I love her, and she loves me. Not the same thing of course. She loves me unconditionally. I can't ask for more than that. When I was younger, every time I felt like I needed a new baby, I got a puppy instead...lol. My clock isn't ticking, and I am just fine on my own. I've got two great grown up kids. So far no grandchildren....at least not that I am aware of!
