1.55 - The One where the packet is lost

I’ve had a pretty frustrating week with my ISP…my internet connection has been dropping in and out like fish out of water. When you pay $50 for cable internet…you expect to have cable internet speed…and the stability of having it on all the time. You can browse…download…upload…whatever...at cable speed. But for the past week I’ve been browsing at 56k speed and when I’m in the middle of something…the connection cuts out. So I call my ISP…they run a couple remote tests and say that I’m having a problem with my connection…YOU DON’T SAY…they send someone out to take a look…he fixes something outside of the house…saying that a cable was loose and that should fix it. Ok….the connection seems to be fine…but the next day…same thing…so I call them back…they run the same remote tests and give me the same stupid answer. Uh sir…there’s a large packet loss and that shouldn’t be happening…NO KIDDING…the earliest we can have someone out is Friday…all of our techs are booked until then. WHAT!?!?!? I live in a 15,000 population town…how can you be booked up so much? Whatever…this is RIDUNKULOUS…I love paying for a service that does work.
