I’m on the third night of no broadband internet connection, and this is how it happened:
the urge to move the furniture
came suddenly upon me,
alas the urge caused failure
of the internet connection thingy!
“““““““
my modem is senile
it’s forgot who it is
now it can’t do it’s duty
because of this.
i pulled out the plugs
without flicking the switch
one small unthought action
has now caused a big hitch!
the modem’s not working
won’t connect like it ought
and now the last option is to call
“Tech Support”.
there’s a 40 minute call queue
before I get to point 1
then another 40 minute waiting
till I can get something done.
I’ve given it up as a bad job tonight
so I’m writing my blog via my mobile’s “hotspot”
and rueing that wilfull unplugging
which caused internet loss!
Furniture moving often causes muscle strain but for you it’s brought an internet drain. Those long phone queues seem to be a fad,. All they really do is make one mad! Good luck soon!

Yep. The waiting time music surely increases the frustration level.

Hope it’s up and active soon. Loved your little ditty, at least you have a clean room. 😏

You poor thing. One of my indicator lights went out once and I was cyber-blind for three days — worst month of my life! I’m glad everything’s back to normal.

More frustrating than anything – cause I couldn’t fix it myself. Had mobile hotspot to still had internet – but it does show how much we have come to “need” the internet 🙂 😦

I read this whilst ‘on hold’ in a phone queue. True story (though that does sound quite rude of me, I really was giving your post full attention 😉 ). So I feel your pain. How did we get to need and rely on this stuff?

I am not sure, but it really is everywhere now, hard to avoid “being connected”. Whilst i was on hold I did ponder how much the background waiting “music” mpacts of the way a person interacts with whoever eventually answers the pphone. I think some “music” choices must make it close to nuclear communication by the time you have listened to the same 5 bar tune on repeat for 50 minutes!

Glad you found a way online, it’s terrible being down! I feel completely cut off.
Your words reminded me of a video I saw several years ago, a humorous piece of a “warrior” who fixes his girlfriend’s grandparent’s wifi.
Oh hey, I found it! Ever see this?
