Broadband

When it works all is well. Right now I am rushing to make an entry into my blog while the internet is up and running smoothly. Over the last few months we haven’t been able to rely on having a connection which loads pages and photos when asked. It seems that we have an intermittent fault, and despite having spent ages on the line to India no-one seems able to explain what is happening.

It feels like you are in the middle of a traffic jam where the lights change and a few vehicles get through. Then, like this morning, all of a sudden it is all-singing and all-dancing. We have gone through all the usual routine of turning off computers and routers, switching cables, changing filters and going away to calm down. Yet, unexpectedly, back comes the problem. It is so frustrating.

Now the question is this. Am I going to spend another chunk of time trying to get a permanent solution, or do I cross my fingers and toes and hope all will be well this time? HBTW is convinced that a) because we live in a village; and b) the weather has been very wet – we are getting a slow-up similar to an overload or the system being overly busy. I am assured by the techies that isn’t something they recognise.

See you later – always providing I can get online of course.
