My ISP has been down
 

...for two days. It is up this morning but I am not satisfied that it will stay up today. For the past two days it is up for maybe five or ten minutes and then will be down for an hour or two. I have called several times but cannot get any information other than "we are aware of the problem and are working on it". Fucking irratating to say the least.

Thats gotta suck considering your entire social life revolves around GFY

My "social life revolves" around whatever I choose. GFY is not a "social life" it is semi entertainment...no more than that.

Fucking ISP is going up and down today...like a yo-yo. Makes it difficult and frustrating to get anything accomplished so I think I will give it up for another day and just sip the suds and fuck around on the board when my ISP is up.

I use softcom.net for isp back-up when my direcway is down for weather... Only had a problem once...

Hey quit picking on my boy..

69 Adult Host

over 3000 usa dial up numbers

Still up and down like a yo-yo...called again and was informed that one problem was fixed and another developed...still working on it but do not know when the problem will be corrected.

You have money. Get dsl or satelite

Well...up to this point it has been reliable since I have been here in Northern California and I cannot recall PF complaining about it. It has been up 99.9999% of the time...other than electrical outages...that occurred a couple of times. It is a local outage and I suspect the local techs expertise. I would not think that Satellite would be solution...and I do not know if DSL is available in this area...though I may inquire.

I called again...and basically demanded to know what the problem is and when it will be corrected. This time I finally got some info...although I could hardly understand the guy. It is a local outage...and has something to do with a hardware device that converts the signal so that it can be sent out over the fiber optic line. They thought they had repaired the device but their repair created another problem so they now have to order hardware to replace the current hardware...or something along that line.
