Internet Issues

For the last couple of days we have been having problems with our WIFI connection. Thunderstorms and falling trees have been the cause. Our service provider has been trying to help us out by fixing these issues in a few hours. The sad part is once it was fixed up the connection a huge tree in pour neighborhood uprooted and fell causing a part of our road to cave in as well. There was no harm done except disruption of wifi and power supply for around 12 hours after the first fix. Now things are back to normal. I hope everything on your side of the world is fine and chugging smoothly.

Losing the internet now these days while we are locked up would be a real disaster for me. I'm glad things went back to normal there.

You hit the nail right on the head. Its work from home time for most of us.

@sofssu Exactly. Primarily because of that

Since today we have to stay at home most of the time, the internet gets much more important than before. I am glad that the internet issues are fixed in your side.

Sadly it wasn't fixed correctly and it got disrupted again. Yesterday was the first day we had a steady wifi connect in one week or more.

That is one issue that I hate with storms, the falling of trees. Our mango tree was felled in 2014 by a heavy storm named Glenda.

Now that is even more depressing since it is your fruit tree.

I was wondering what happened to you. I'm glad it's repaired and working again. I know how frustrating it is.

Thanks Dianne, the connection wasn't very good and there was very little I could do . I find it hard to work from my phone.

Tech cannot handle the increased pressure due to the lockdown.

That's right, with only a few workers they found it very hard to fix it , it took ever so long.

It took them several days to really fix it, since we are also under lockdown.
