I spoke, or wrote rather, a little too soon. Almost 20 minutes after my previous post, my DSL connection went bye-bye. I had intermittent connections for the next 8 hours. It was more "no connect" than "connect". I couldn't load a complete page most of the time before the connection was gone again. I called Subictel at 2:30 pm and the technician told me they would monitor the line and call me later. They never called. This means it will go down again today between noon and 2:30 pm and will be down for another 6 to 8 hours. I will, once again, give them a call. If this connection problem isn't rectified soon, I don't know what I'm going to do (besides visit and choke the person in charge).

I guess my wife worked out some problems on her end and won't be coming home soon. Damn.

I'm going to get a few things done before I lose my connection again, so I'm cutting this short, like right here.

(Update: After calling and speaking to several people, it turns out it isn't the fault of the DSL provider. It's the lower voltage being put out by the electric company in the afternoon. Fixing it is going to take more than I thought.)
