Bite me, Cox.net

I just thought I'd say, our internet is really sucking ass this week.

I mean, is it too much to ask to not have to reload a page three or four times just to get it to, you know, actually load the page it is supposed to?

Three out of our attempts, we get "page not found".
Ping times are laughable. (hovering around 15% packet loss)
As a result, we cannot play any online games if we wanted to.

A Cox tech is supposed to be coming out to our house tomorrow to examine the problem. Let's see if they can fix it. I really doubt it is our cable modem. It better not be. 'Cause you know what they do if they find it is your equipment's problem? They charge you for having to come out.

The thing is, I think this problem got worse after they "fixed" the problem from the other day, where our internet was down hard for about an hour or so.

But, supposedly, there is no one else in our area experiencing similar problems. If I see our next door neighbors I'll have to ask them if they're having problems loading pages.. That is, if they have their computer back yet. The day our internet was down hard they were taking it in to get worked on, which is why I only half believed them when they said they were not having problems that day, especially when Cox called me back and told me that the problem was at the head end. I think our neighbors looked at their cable modem and saw lights, but didn't look closely enough to see whether the cable light was actually on or not. They said their cable t.v. was working, but somehow I don't think that the problem that affected the cable internet would have also affected the t.v.

But anyway.. we'll see how tomorrow goes. This shoddy internet service is starting to really annoy me.
