Back on the internet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: July 10, 2012, 10:24:51 AM »

The power went off during the BIG storm Friday 29 June.  Power came back on Sunday after 35 hours.  But no internet.  After multiple calls and broken promises, a tech arrived today looked at the router and said "you need a new one".  Went to the truck, brought a replacement, plugged it in, and I am back on line.  So 10 days of FRUSTRATION when they kept saying be patient, we will get our equipment fixed and all will be well.

Thirty five hours without electricity? You must live in a third world country Washington DC . . . the politicians want all the POWER.

Glad you are back.

Welcome back, Dick.  We missed you!

Lots of people around these parts were without power on Friday, too.  Like 100,000 or so.  Interestingly enough, we had power at the church and I had no excuses to get out of typing a bulletin or typing a sermon!

I had no idea so much of the DC area was out of power.
