Got Worse Before It Got Better

United States
March 12, 2023 10:30am CST
Saturday morning about 8am, the phone rang. It was the Dish man. Well, before he got up here, he got stuck in the mud, and couldn't get out. So my grandson went down and tried to help, unable to he called a neighbor with a tractor to push him out. When he.made it here he discovered that one of the dogs had bit through the line outside. The other problem was he left his truck down on the road with his tools, he said for me to call back, when it is drier and he'd put a heavier cable on it. Of course it stormed like crazy last night. Hope you all have a good day.

@velvet53 He patched it for now. After he got stuck in the mud, he wasn't about to come up here.

Well you can hook up your tv to the Wifi and still watch movies even from your computer without the Dish.

What a bummer. It seems these days repair people are never actually prepared for all scenarios like they used to be 30 years ago.

It stormed like crazy here in north Florida last night, and is still storming today (Monday). It was like a monsoon all night long. I hope things dry out for you quickly so you can get the Dish guy back out.

Guess the dog wasn't keen on your choice of shows! Now all you have to wait for is some dry weather to get your connection back

We got it back, but he needs a stronger cable. It stormed and rained last night, so who knows.
