Over a month ago, my wife got a job offer down in Jacksonville, Florida. So, we had planned on moving there; but first, she was going to head on down to Jacksonville and stay with some friends to get set up. And, me and my boys were going to move in with my parents so that we wouldn't have to pay rent and utilities at our old place and save up on our money for the move.
And then, the job fell through. They kept pushing the start date back on her until they told her that they didn't when they expected her to be able to start working there. Then, she got into a minor car accident. And, quite frankly, she just hated staying in Florida. So, the move was cancelled; she came back home; and we began looking for a new place to stay. Luckily, our landlord had a different rent house that had recently become empty. We took it and started moving it. Because of this, we have had no internet since we've moved in. The few times I've been able to get on here, I've had to use my phone as a hotspot. Of course, that is when my sons weren't using it as a hotspot for their iPads.
We've been trying to get internet, but that's been a hassle. At first, we signed up with Optimum and had a date set while we were on vacation in Branson; my mom was supposed to come over and let the technician in that day. But, there was an internet outage in town that day; and they had to reschedule for Thursday, the day we got back from Branson. So, on that day, the guy came out, looked at our set up, and told us that the cable lines that would have hooked up to the modem they sent us were cut. Which meant, that they would have to send another tech to repair it. And, he didn't know how long that would have taken. So, we decided to cancel on Optimum and go back to AT&T.
*sigh*
Yeah, we weren't happy about that, but we had no real choice. So, we signed back up with AT&T, and they sent us a modem with the date of June 30th to be able to register and get set up. Of course, the modem go here a day early, but since we had scheduled the set up for June 30th, we had to wait a day. So, we wait. And, as we're about to set up, Sarah goes online on her phone and gets a message saying that we can't set up the modem until July 1. So, we got to wait another day. However, as we were looking over the set up instructions that came with the modem, we discovered that it has to be plugged into a phone jack to work. Well, guess what our house DOESN'T have!? That's right! A phone jack! We got an ethernet cord in Carter's room, but we aren't 100% sure we can plug that into the modem and expect it to work. So, we're gonna try and set it up tomorrow; but we fully expect that we'll have to call AT&T to send out a tech to set it up for us.
We just want some damn Internet, man! It shouldn't be this f***ing hard to get it.
