I had a checklist of all the things I had done before calling them so I could tell them honestly that I had done everything before calling. Once they did a second line test, they agreed that it was something that we needed a technician for. The problem was a very old phone line connecter that was no longer connecting.

We send short emails with the iPad and our phones. There was a \u201cstone knives and bearskins\u201d comment at some point but we muddled through it.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are back and happy to be so. It is amazing how much we use the Internet during the day for various things.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful that I got a technician who listened to the information I had for them when they came to fix the DSL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many things besides the obvious lyric from Avenue Q.
