Cable tech came, went away, came back, drilled another hole in my wall, ran another huge thing of cable (by the way, I really need to move my couch and sweep there more often -- I could have built about a dozen cats with the hair under there. Bleh) around my house, and got my modem working again. Huzzah! And then it stopped. Again. Grrr. AT&T Broadband, you're really pissing me off. I'm thinking the Sprint dish deal just ain't so bad.
