Getting DSL Service in the Country
I haven’t written any posts despite an earthquake in Indiana or Illinois, a House energy package that passed Michigan’s House of Representatives, Earth Day tomorrow, and all the environmental events over the weekend because I didn’t have any dial tone. I’m sooooo tired of my sloooooow dial up service for the internet I finally decided to get DSL.
DSL was only offered out here in Berlin Twp. a few months ago. But instead of getting faster service with DSL, I lost all of my phone service. The best part was fixing it. Imagine my surprise that a phone repair guy knocked at my door at 9:00 am Sunday morning.
There I stood in my beat up, but comfortable robe, hair all over the place, no makeup, and just as badly beaten slippers explaining what had transpired and why this was no ordinary repair call. I should have listened to that little qualm of mine that said someone was going to show up on Sunday. I thought that might happen after talking to yet another customer rep on Saturday, except this was a simple do it yourself hook-up for DSL. No repair or installation guy was necessary. I guess my phone lines simply were not ready yet, and neither was I on Sunday morning.
By the time I got back on line to look up everything I missed, like the earthquake, it was already this morning. It’s good I have my pc back, but I lost the acceleration program I used to have, so now I’m slower than ever. Hopefully, I’ll finally have DSL soon.
