Everyone take a moment to be thankful that they have Internet and cell coverage from their homes. Seriously. It has taken me forever to get Internet at the new house. I had DSL in the seller’s name when I moved in. The seller’s tried to switch it to my name [and Verizon said they could] but Verizon in the end did not. Well, I tried desperately to get it back knowing that someone was probably waiting in line for it. Well, they were—and they got it because I had one appointment after the other canceled on me by Verizon (without telling me, mind you!!) because “ma’am, you’re too far from the main office to get DSL” Even though I had it when I moved in, albeit very briefly. Apparently there was a capacity for about 12 lines on the hill and I
had one of them.
