Yeah, I've had my internet down a few times and I had to pack it up and go tot he coffee shop. Working at home with 2 little girls and my wife, is distracting enough, but going to a coffee shop to try to concentrate on work and get something done, can be a nightmare. The internet stick is a thought, but I wonder if they work in 3rd world countries and if netflix will still deliver? I love my netflix on demand streaming movies. what would I do without it?

The internets can be sooooo bad to us at times, can't they. Sometimes my laptop decides to take a half hour break for the hell of it and i'm like "wth? now. really? now you decide to go bonkers on me!!!" My internets on cable, but because i'm in a small town, usually the techy dudes arrive shortly after I call - when something goes wacky. Thank god!!! Yep, we web workers need the internets like we need air to breather. Amen!!! P.S. Glad to hear you got it back and all is right with the world. .-= Missy´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.ebookreaderguide.com/2009/10/28/top-10-kindle-covers-and-cases/" rel="nofollow">Top 10 Kindle Covers And Cases</a> =-.

The past couple months have been extremely stressful but things are slowly starting to look up. It was unfortunate, but it happened and there's nothing we can do but learn from it. I'm just excited to be back online ... oh how I've missed it! @everyone – Thanks so much for all your support!

It seems that it's not uncommon for people to just accept shitty internet... merely because they have very little choice... comcast for you is like rogers for us... it's a monopoly and there is nothing we can do about it - unless we start an online petition? start up idea.... note to self. @WebCareerGirl - Backup broadband is ideal.. or if the market somehow opens up, I'll by my own box at the mainframe hub downtown... lol, probably not. Thanks for the mention and link love, I'm thinking of a way to repay you.. hmm. how about 20 questions with web career girl?!? @WV – Yeah, maybe my spam police flagged your comment because you mentioned Comcast – and they secretly own the world?!?

I've been wondering what you two were up to since you've not posted or Skyped in a while, but I figured you were just really busy with your biz! I've actually been thinking about a backup plan as well. I'm not doing well enough to work from home full time, but I'm looking to that in the future. Our internet, however, is shot. Sometimes it goes out for several hours a week, a few weeks ago it went out for a day and a half, and it usually goes out anytime our house gets exceptionally hot and humid (it went out for an hour when I was boiling chicken bones for stock, and sometimes goes out if we take too long of a hot shower). We tried to get DSL, but the local phone company doesn't service our area (with DSL), and Comcast has a cable monopoly in our area. I've thought about getting free or cheap dial up for emergencies, but, since I don't do this full time, it wasn't worth the hassle. Luckily for short term emergencies I have a McDonald's with WiFi in walking distance, and about 3 cafe's with free wifi in nearby driving distance. I've wondered how much their business connection is. I'm hoping that we'll move before or soon after I'd have to make that switch- somewhere with better wiring- but in a pinch, I'll have to shovel out more money to the evil Comcast Overlords (oh how I hate them). .-= WordVixen´s last blog ..<a href="http://nuttysquirrelbottom.com/law-and-legal-issues/monster-energy-drink-sucks-the-life-out-of-small-businesses/" rel="nofollow">Monster Energy Drink Sucks The Life Out of Small Businesses</a> =-.
