Well, that was anti-climactic. The tech guy came this morning, a little before 9AM. Like most of the techs, he was nice and seemed capable enough to figure out what the problem would be.

I simply let him into the building, showed him the phone line box and then went and started getting ready for work.

At a little before 10 AM he came up to say that everything should be working, there was a problem with crossed lines outside the building and that it had been fixed.

I checked my DSL and everything was working fine again.

Amazinginly, it seems like most every phone tech I deal with is pretty cool (once they actually show up). It's the customer support that you have to call that's a pain in the ass.

Anyway, we'll have to see if it's still working tonight (or if it's any more reliable than it was before).

I just wanted to say that the tech did a good job and hopefully the TiVo's insatiable thirst for downloading new scheduling information will be at least temporarily quenched.

That's because the linemen are unionized.
