Off Line

Yesterday I got home and discovered that I didn't have Internet access. I also discovered that we didn't have a dial tone on any of our phones. Since we have DSL the two are related and hence I didn't post yesterday.

So this morning the guy came. He climbed a really huge ladder and worked up on it for a couple hours and now our phones are working again. He told me that there was something wrong in the box and that he put up a new phone line because ours was really old. Well...if you have a house that is 40 years old then it sort of makes sense that even the stuff outside it would be old also.
