don't know what you got till it's gone

Ever since we got back, our internet has been slower than slow. Tim did a speed test, and it was coming in at dial up speed, even though we have dsl. If both of us had browsers open (something kind of necessary when we both work from home), it would get hung up. It was too slow for our internet phone service to work properly. We've had to make all our necessary work calls on our cell phones (I can't wait to see our cell phone bill...between work calls and our trip, ouch). Tim couldn't do much of anything because he needs to load newsletters on the internet.

The internet guy came today, and the service into the house was fast, the jack was working fine, he figured out our modem got fried, probably during the storm.

It's so nice to have it working properly again. must. have. internet.

I think we both started going through withdrawal....
