Default Internet Vent
WOW, I just can't believe this!

Ok, back track - last weekend we had trouble with our Satelite Internet not working. Come to find out it is just a really loose power cord in the back plus the wireless modem is shot! After calling Tech Support to get someone to come out and fix the power cord because the cord is worn and we need a new one.

They called this morning to let me know it will be $100 for the service call, $.47 a mile to drive out here (we are a good 100 miles from where the service people are) plus $68.49 for a new cord & $149 for a new wireless box!

I can get all new service for that price! Needless to say I told them to cancel the service call - DBF can fix it for a lot less than that!

The internet is working as long as no one comes close to the cord and we don't use the wireless.

Ok, I feel better!
