Thu 20 October 2005 - Dead man surfing
My home internet connection has cut out. Knowing that it takes about 5 days, on Monday I requested the ADSL connection be moved. If I’d thought about it a bit more (and taken advice from friends) I would have ordered a brand-spanking new connection from somebody else, rather than relocate my Netspace one, so there’d be an overlap period, like there is with other essential services like the phone, gas, water, power etc. But hey, Netspace have been pretty good, and I get to avoid the red tape of going with a new provider.
So this morning sometime during breakfast, it got disconnected, and no doubt my new empty house now has hot running broadband.
I could use the dialup service, designed for emergencies or when on holiday. But do I even know where my old dialup modem is now? Nup.
PS. 9am Friday. Hmmm. On second thoughts, it must have been a temporary glitch, because this morning it’s working. Today I’m at home, not feeling well. Some kind of flashback to the last time I moved???
