I have been without my own internet connection for a week.
This has been a bleeding imbuggerance.
At first I thought the internet had gone down because of the appalling weather conditions last Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday morning I checked and still no connection.
I spent most of last Wednesday morning trying to sort out the issues myself.
I unplugged the whole thing. Left it unplugged for a while.
Went back, plugged it all back in...pressed the re-start button and for about 30 seconds I got blue lights....meaning it was working.
Then they all went out and I just had a flashing power on button.
I did all the unplugging again....left it unplugged for a longer time....then plugged back in again.
Pressed the restart....nothing....pressed the reset to default thingy(this takes a biro to go into the little hole)....still nothing.
I felt very frustrated and at the end of my expertise to sort it out.
This meant I would have to contact my ISP.
This did not fill me with a warm fuzzy feeling.
I opted for internet chat....and you are asking 'how'?
Well, easy....went over and used daughter's connection.
I felt this would be easier than trying to talk to someone with a broad Asian accent....trying to juggle the phone while going through all the things I had already tried.
I spent an hour on the internet explaining my issues.
Halfway through I was handed over to another advisor....
So this meant I had to go through all the details again.
It was decided that the hub was past its sell by date( ten years old) and that this would solve my problem.
I asked how long it would be before it delivered....3-5 working days.
I sort of hoped the thing would be delivered Friday or Saturday....but no.
Did not arrive yesterday either.
So over to the daughters I went.
The darn thing had not even been dispatched.
I put in a very strong complaint....and asked if they would be giving me a rebate on my service...as if I had to wait another three to five days I would have been without the service for ten days.
Anyway, this action must have caused a bit of a flurry because this morning the postie delivered a brand new hub....which is why I can tell you all about it.
What I had not considered about being without a wi-fi connection is that my printer would not work.
So I have not been able to print out the verses for some cards I had made for birthdays....I had to stamp sentiments inside....a bit less personal than a specially written verse.
It is really good to be back.

he said if its not done the trick, ring back and we will send someone to check the connection to the house, i have NOT done this yet as i aint up to listening to another of these cretins. what happens with mine is if i leave the computer for about 10 mins or so, then on my return it tells me,not responding and i can do sod all only restart my my computer, which i find a damn nuisance, when i'm in the mood i will ring these idiots back.
