Like to bother you, that is. ;p

Lightning struck something and made a mess of things. Fortunately it only ruined the three ports of our router, that our computers were connected to, and didn't zap our computers as well. (Though we did lose a cable box and a TV.) The fourth (and last) port worked fine, but after my mother set up a wireless connection on her computer, my computer wasn't able to get a connection. After a bunch of attempts I was unable to get it to work, so now I'm using a wireless connection as well. Bah, I say. Bah.

Awww! But you're still able to share your nekkid glory with us!!

*hugs Nikkou in a squeaky fashion*

Not really. My soul is being gnawed upon by Ether Saga Online. Oh, woe is me.

It could be worse. You could have Hughesnet.

As in Usenet?

*Uses net*

*Connection escapes!*

Damn! *Snaps fingers*

No, this one:

It's only slightly better than dial-up at certain times of the day.

surge protectors failed on you? Though then again if the lighting hit a cable directly then probably would have issues regardless.

either way at least it's working on some level.

Yeah, it was just the cable. Our phones are also cable, so they got hit, too. Supposedly there's a way to prevent lightning strikes from traveling up the cable line, so we're looking into that.

Coincidentally, as a result of having our router changed (yet again), we found out that we haven't been getting the service that we've been paying for. So now we'll get a router that will handle the speed we're paying for, and some promotional service that's equal or better to what we have now, only it will cost eighty bucks for one year (which is nice).
