I have spoken to the man from ATT and according to him there are two other homes in this subdivision that are having the exact same trouble I am, and a fourth not in this neighborhood but in the vicinity. He said that there was some sort of damage to the box everyone here is hooked up through (whether storm damage or a power surge) and it would have to be repaired. They're supposed to start working on it tomorrow, and should have it fixed by the end of the week. If after that time I'm still having this trouble (unlikely since the "symptoms" are identical in all four cases) then it's something else and I should call back keep harassing them.

This is good news. Hopefully the problem has been found and will be taken care of, and I won't have to cancel my account.

Unfortunately, just before the weekend I learned of another, much more serious problem that has come up in my life which sort of puts this one on the back burner and which must be dealt with immediately (of course I'm having to stew over the weekend before I have a chance to do anything about it). I don't want to go into it here, but I didn't need this right now. It seems that for the past three years I haven't had any peace. It's been literally one thing after another during this time. I'll let you all know if it's resolved, because if it isn't I definitely want have a home Internet connection, technical problems or no technical problems.
