broadband

So. Cable guy paid me a visit yesterday morning (thankfully, the "between 8 and 12" turned out to be a reasonable 9:30) and pronounced the antenna outlet faulty. When he had replaced it replaced it, the "cable" light on my modem was steady instead of blinking in one-second intervals. Very promising indeed. I stopped short of kissing his feet/offering sexual favours - you get the idea.

When I returned to my flat yesterday evening, the cable light was blinking away merrily, continuing to do so all night. Same this morning.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I just had a nice little chat with Helpdesk Guy who obviously knew his supervisors were listening in as he was super-friendly, making sure to use my surname in every sentence and interjecting a snazzy gegebenenfalls (should the situation arise) at least as often. It's working now but I may have to trek to the back of beyond to exchange my modem for a new one. Like, gegebenenfalls.
