Just two lines to let you know that today we will be without the Internet for almost all the day.
I am going to the mall to see if I can get a wi-fi line there and continue to read your discussions. If they have our same problem, I will be back tomorrow morning.
Hope you are having a nice day.

@moffittjc This is what usually happens, they take a margin so that they are sure to be ready by the scheduled time. I was happy to have our Internet, phone and TV back.

@LadyDuck Wow, they actually finished the job early! Imagine that! I doubt that would have happened here in the U.S. If they would have said 6 PM, it would mean you would be lucky to have the service restored by 9 PM. haha

I thought we were the country with the worst internet. No offense, but nice to see you guys still have issues also. I should always remember the truth is always some where in the middle. Glad you did get it fixed or appears you were able to get it fixed.

@LadyDuck I see, so they were making it better. Yeah, they do not do that stuff here, unless you are some high end corporation.

@crossbones27 Yes, they are offering a much speeder connection now, but to do that they had to add the fiber optic cables. They had informed all the resident of this area about 10 days ago. They are usually pretty serious here.

@silvermist The coffee in Switzerland is far to be as good as the Italian coffee, but it was not too bad.

@Jessicalynnt Fiber is good by fragile, now we have the choice, we can keep our actual line with copper cables or switch to fiber. We are waiting from feed back from a neighbor.

Sometimes the heavy snow will cover our satellite and we lose WiFi in the winter, not often but enough to be uncomfortable. I hope yours settles down soon,.

@PainsOnSlate Of course we were informed. We received a written communication 8 days before and they kept us updated by email.

Well hope it works for you there but don't worry- a break is a good thing once and a while. Hope it does come back without any problems though.

@princemaxp I am reading an old book about the mysterious civilizations that have disappeared. I have found it in the library of my Dad when I have visited Mom a couple of weeks ago.

Some people are so fortunate to always have internet service. In my home area there are no reliable providers, so I travel into the city (my next home) and spend a few hours there...for the internet! Well, we will see you when we see you (^_^)

@Gita17112016 Yes, it's a problem when the pages take forever to load.

@LadyDuck That is so good. It's always so irritating to be on the internet and it takes forever to load.

See you tomorrow. A day without internet is not that much. Last time I had a problem with the line, it lasted quite a week... and after a day I connected the smartphone to the computer as a tethered modem. It was not authorized by the cell company, but I could not resist. Good luck with the wifi at the mall.

@topffer For the moment I do not move from here. I have seen they were putting cables underground in front of our small road when we went outside. I know that they work until 5 PM, so I will wait another thirty minutes and then we can go home. I almost sure the line is already back.

It has been a long time since I was without the Internet, do you suspect the whole network is out?

@BelleStarr It is too dangerous to dig a hole in the middle of the road during the night. Poor those who work in the middle of the road! There were 4 policemen on the road yesterday afternoon to allow the cars pass one at a time. This is a narrow road, it was not possible to close half of the road.

@Inlemay The tablet is a gift of my husband. I use it so little that I never checked if the wifi works. It was the right occasion to see if it worked. It was a pain to type on a tablet, I confirm that I will continue to use my desktop computer.
