My so-called DSL…

Yeah, I’m bored with it too. Here’s the latest:

Back in January they sent me an e-mail saying “Go, use your new DSL!” It didn’t work.
My “turned on” date was Feb. 2. It didn’t work.
They sent a new modem, which arrived Friday. It didn’t work.
They called three times while I was at church yesterday (gone for what, an hour and a half?) to say they were referring it to a local office but “keep watching the DSL light, if it stays on you can connect to the internet.”

Say it with me: it didn’t work.

(I’m seriously thinking of just buying a router but then I have to keep cable so I can afford my cable modem. The idea of dumping the cable modem is a) it’s cheaper for DSL in our town and 2) I could get rid of cable and go to Direct TV since one reason I have cable is it is a prerequisite for the cable modem)
