I lost my DSL connection the other night, called the phone co. and went through the process, but got a message on my computer that there was no modem hooked up, which, of course there was. Suspected culprit, the cable. I was talking to a friend today who live 20 miles away, and he relayed having the same problem at the same time. Stopped in at the local Rat Shack and the owner said I was the third or forth person in the last two days with that problem. So, WTF happened? And should the phone company be responsible? (PS, we were not having an electrical storm at that time). |
Ok…I buy that and what happens to the “0†after you delete them eh?..., posted on May 2, 2006 at 12:07:40 | |
I know, I know they would probably go to the empty space where “1†used to occupy. |

I ran through all the usual suspects with the Alltel customer service dude, and he opined that it was the cable. |
Well the new cable works, posted on May 2, 2006 at 20:17:31 | |
But do I want to risk it plugging the old one back in to see if it would also now be working? Probably not. |
