Yay internet!
Yesterday we had 'strong winds' with gusts to 65mph. Wheee!!! But, around 5pm my cable and internet went out. Suddenlink said they were working on it. I was able to watch a movie on my DVR, so I wasn't worried.
When the text came that said they were done, and mine still wasn't working, then I was concerned. I tried power cycling my internet and cable. No go. And, just so you know, once you power cycle your DVR you have no access to anything on it until it's all fixed. BTW.
Turns out the line to my house was blown down. BUT, I still had electricity, so yay!
I watched a movie on my computer (no, I don't have the DVD player hooked up to my TV, why do you ask?), and surfed LJ on my iPad. Oh, also discovered for sure that SofaPlay works as long as the indoor router works. I just had no movies or eps on my computer to watch, and didn't have internet to download (and SofaPlay doesn't work with the DVD. Darn).
So that sucked, but the guy was really friendly and helpful when he came today. When he noted it was all outside he said I could leave. And he said he was going to place an old splitter, or whatever it was called. So I got to meet my team for lunch. :D
