I'm back!
After a week of no Internet connection courtesy of some over-zealous cable tv tech (see previous entries for details) I'm back to being connected. A tech not only showed up, but actually rang the doorbell this time and hooked me back up. Marvelous.

Now for the fight to get them to credit me for the week-long outage.

Glad you're back up. Perhaps I missed it. What was the cause?

An overzealous cable tv tech saw me hooked up (with filters, duh, I don't actually get cable tv) and apparently thought I was stealing cable.. so disconnected me.

I don't subscribe to cable tv, but after this hassle (this is a second time this has happened in the last year or so) I think I may just pay the bloody $10 a month for basic cable to make them stop.

I wouldn't pay it. Of course that is me saying that, and not your pocket and patience, but that almost seems like your backing down to them. Kinda like paying for incompetence protection.
