So yesterday, I hopped on to my computer to post a bunch of pictures from the holiday weekend and I couldn’t get my dsl to work. I tried everything to get it fixed, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and even unplugging every cable and then plugging them back in. Nothing worked.
I ended up having to call my internet service provider. I sat on hold for some time before I found out that my entire city had the internet down. The customer service technician told me he wasn’t sure what caused the outage and he didn’t know when we would have our service back.
I waited a few hours and called the company back to see if things were in working order again. The guy I spoke to kept asking me a bunch of questions about the lights on my router. They all just kept blinking and I still had no service. Apparently my internet should have been working again but I was just a lucky winner and got to have mine not work for an additional 2 hours.
Eventually, I got my service back. However, when I started to upload images online everything went REALLY slow. It reminded me of the days when I had dial-up internet. I never thought I was going to get all of the images uploaded. It literally took 2 and a half hours to upload 50 images. Normally that would only take a few minutes. I probably should have called it a night and tried again today but, I wanted to have it done before I went to work today to show to my friends some of the great shots I captured.
