Yes, my modem went kaput -- I will be at TWC's door when they open tomorrow to get it replaced. It is killing me not being able to watch/hear the music!!!

There, there. Hugs with humor. Would you do it if you ran into this guy? :D

Ugh, my modem died early last summer, Pokey, plus a squirrel had chewed into the cable line on the telephone pole. :facepalm:

Some unidentified bugs had moved into my junction box, so says the phone company. Earlier this year I cut the land line and went voip, but I'm still in danger of squirrels.

Oddly enough, my VOiP continued to work - until I called the help desk. While talking to them, it died mid-conversation.

They killed my modem from afar. I know they did. :)

Squirrels are a big pain in the .... around here. :facepalm:

Would you give him a hug, Pokey ???

Hi Stosh........................................

Truthfully?? No...I'd probably cross the street to avoid him. Unless that is Jag? Then of course I would give him a hug... :D

Hiya Stosh!

It doesn't take that much for voip, may drop a little, but all you need is half mbps.


I've got to keep the trees trimmed and the squirrels away. Got a microwave radio connection. :?:

I refuse to wear bi-focals, but I can see closeup and read ok, without glasses. I just need them for distance.

Microwave radio ?? Ham radio, Jag ??

They tell me it's radio. I live in a rural area, no DSL, no cable. It was either satellite or this and satellite is supposed to suck. It has to be in line of sight and the transmitters pointed at each other's general direction. Once it's up though, solid, no weather problems.
