mdehnersWell, we've had "fun" the last couple of days. Technically, almost a month;>! a couple days before Yule We'd wake to find NO INTERNET. We'd reboot the cable modem and we'd be good(usually) till the next AM when NO INTERNET. Cable and Phone still OK. Brother tried and same result. Cable guy comes over and same result. Call 1 after, same result. During the 2nd the guy asked, as if he was asking me some "delicate" question, "is your router an Apple?". Seems that the new upgrade in service here on the Florida Panhandle has been creating "issues" with them. Problem fixed.
Sadly, that wasn't the REAL problem. A couple days ago we went to pick up Chuck's meds and his debit card was declined. Went to the atm and it'd give him his balance but no money. So a roadtrip to the nearest office of his bank was in order. Found out from them that DURING all this "fun" they'd called and the # was out of service(apparently, any time the modem was rebooted called were reported thus)....so the bank locked his acct.
Everything is fixed now but one thing we ARE glad for, that we discovered this problem BEFORE Chuck's SSI came in and we'd just rang up 2 week's worth of groceries;>......
Cheers,
Pat
