Tired of watching.

[Jeff]

The cable guy has been here for going on 6 hours. Apparently between kids, chipmunks and squirrels, and the original 25 year old cable system, our communications came to a stuttering halt over the last few days. T.V. phone and internet.  I'm whipped watching him. :D    The last straw was when the baseball game kept skipping out yesterday, and then, near the end of the axe auction, we couldn't get on line at all.   >:(   He just now wrapped up and drove off. Almost everything in the house was replaced, but now there is a big yellow cord laying across my yard, the neighbors yard and the neighbors cement driveway with no idea when it can get buried as it has to be run under THEIR driveway.

I bet we loose cable again within a few minutes of my neighbors lawnmower firing up. :D

He could of strung it more permanent like branch to branch. :D

All i know is, i think i was in the wrong business  >:(

Six of one thing, half a dozen of another. You want all those electronic things, but you also want that cable(s) all put away underground or overhead, and not laying about the neighborhood.  ;D

This is why I love living 200 feet away from the major fiber backbone between here and Anchorage.  ;)  Glad you got your internet back Jeff.  Did you have 500 emails waiting for you? 

[Jeff]

Mostly spam. :D  The email was one thing I'd get. The connection would come and go, so when it came, my email is set to check every couple minutes, so the mail would come in, sound my foghorn alert, I's say, THE INTERNET IS BACK!, go check the forum, and NADA. It would come long enough just to drop my mail and be gone again.  That big yellow cable laying out in the yard is sure zinging along now though.

Jeff,
Better bury that cable before the Pig Roast. I'm having unpleasant images of a tug of war contest!

[Magicman]

That sounds like a temporary wire that will be used until a new permanent wire is buried.  The high-vis wire is an attempt to prevent it from being damaged, (by the neighbor's lawnmower).

Cable? What is that? We live so far out they have to pump in sun light. :D

[WildDog]

Jeff glad to see its up and running now for you. We waited 10yrs for the phone company to bury the cable that ran 4 miles down the road draped over the farms boundary fences, their argument was, "Wait untill there is a D9 dozer working in the area". Then the company put some sort of above ground inspection pipe in my bull paddock ???, the Santa Gertrudis enjoyed palying with it.
