Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
Yeah, the regular phone tech came out and said he has the problem narrowed down to a cable that is under ground somewhere and he has to have the people that fix the underground cables get on it. It might get done tonight yet he said, or maybe tomorrow morning. But you know how that goes.

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
Thanks for the update, Geo.
I'm hoping for saturday and will be pleasantly surprised if earlier. Surprising how much time I have this week, and I thought I would only spend one or two hours per week on PBW...

Re: PBW Down? - Back up!
I'm kind of enjoying my PBW break. It's always nice to have a little breather here and there...

Sacrelidge!! 40 lashes at least! Possible beheading. 
Actually I agree with you. Makes you realize that, by gum, there is more to life...

I hope your phone company doesn't operate like the cable (Rogers) company we have here in Ontario. If something has to be dug up, it gets reffered to the "Burial Department" which then has 10 business days to get out and inspect the site. Not actually do any work mind you, just to go out and look. When I worked the tech support side of things we got calls from people who were without television & internet for months on end cause the "Burial Department" either hadn't gone out yet, or had but had dumped the problem onto someone else and never informed anyone about it.
My motto: expect the worst and you'll never be surprised.
I'll take my cloud of doom and leave you all now.

Warning noted. I have already planned on raising some serious heck if things aren't fixed by tommorow. Not sure if it will help, but if nothing else somebody at the phone compnay is going to have a bad day.
