Well, not fully - but soon enough. We are hoping that the united voices of many dissatisfied customers will bring enough pressure to bear on those responsible for the shabby internet service in our area. Those voices - including mine have been very strident over the past couple of weeks , and we expect good results sooner rather than later In the meantime, I have been missing mylot and my online projects so much that I have decided to continue with the service . After all "half a loaf is better than no bread" - better to have the poor service rather than no internet. The last twenty days have been rather difficult for me - even though I was able to catch up on a lot of reading. How well can you cope without an internet sertvice?

It's hard to be without Internet in our days. I can live one day without if I am not at home, but two full days would be a problem.

@LadyDuck, Missing 2 days of internet is the beginning of "torture".

Glad that you decided to come back. I am very unhappy when the internet service is interrupted or slow.

Wow, I'd be totally lost without the Web, I think I am an addict. But then again maybe I would get more done around the house and in the yard if I weren't always online.

This answers my question. I had a feeling your Internet service was the culprit about why I haven't seen you for quite a while. I e-mailed you this morning. I would not do well without the Internet. It's something I rely on for all the work I do on the computer.

@Kandae11 I hope something better comes along soon for you. I remember seeing the post, but didn't realize how bad the service was.
@Kandae11 (55162)
1 Jul 18
Yes, it was. I wrote about my leaving early in June . I thought I could do without it for a few months at least, but found it to be holding me back - so I decided to make do with the poor service until something better comes along.

I'd be frustrated if I didn't have it here in California, since internet stuff is part of my routine. Up in Montana, I have no internet service, but that's by choice, so it's OK.

@Kandae11 My technician was here on Friday to check why my Netlfix has been acting up. He tried everything checking and thank heavens my modem and internet are ok. The problem is with Netflix and he will have to put something so I will not have the problem again. Life and its problems are hard. I am sorry you do not have good internet connection. That is very hard when you need to work online and need it to run somoothly.

Difficult to last more than a few days, since all the bills, notifications, messages from people here and there (work included), even bankings are internet related. My cell phone can only do that much but not a lot.
