I’m hoping you get this resolved soon. I was without internet service for 2 months last summer and i thought i would die!
My provider ended up telling me that my DSL was so old that they needed to replace all the lines in my alley to upgrade it, and i would have to pay for it!
I told them where to shove it and called the cable company for a broadband connection, which i love.
No matter, it sucks that this has happened now, with the job on the line and everything. Good luck! 🙂
