Please hold while we contact a technical support representative. If a representative does not respond in a few seconds, then he/she is not available at this time. You are now speaking with Brennen C. of Technical Support. Brennen C.: Hello again Robert Brennen C.: Let me check out your line Robert: tx Brennen C.: It looks much improved Brennen C.: You're synced up at the full 1.5 Robert: OK. I guess I should cancel the phone guy appt, right? So I don' t have to pay the $ 60? Brennen C.: We can certainly cancel that. Brennen C.: We'll keep an eye on your line for a bit. Robert: the appt is tomorrow at 4pm. when is the latest it should be cancelled? Brennen C.: Tonight Brennen C.: Within the next hour Brennen C.: We can schedule another one in the future Brennen C.: There is the possibility that we would be able to cancel it tomorrow morning, but it is not something that I would bet on Brennen C.: Has your connection been more down than up? Robert: yes. basically, i had to make a phone call to get it connected. and when the other end hung up, i was dead again. Robert: it may be that someone in the neighborhood phone system changed/improved? I read about that being a possibility today (via my work's internet connection :-) ). Robert: ^someone^something Brennen C.: That is possible Robert: OK. Should I stay online with you or should I disconnect and connect later? Brennen C.: And if there was a Bridge Tap that was removed, it might have fixed the issue that you were experiencing Robert: OK. Should I stay online with you or should I disconnect and connect later? Brennen C.: You can connect later Robert: cool. cya. === Thank you
