For slightly less than 24 hours I have been off the Internet due to a broken wireless modem. Forget that I didn’t know that I had insurance for damaged wireless equipment. I had no idea that such equipment could be delivered within 24 hours. I suppose that is because the insurance company was the mover behind the curtain rather than Verizon.
I suppose that when one sees he or she is spending more time on the phone with people from the wireless Internet provider and/or the cell phone company, then perhaps the deal that has been chosen isn’t working out so well. Unfortunately for me, it doesn’t look like I have a choice. Verizon has the best wireless Internet service in my area.
When that service is working properly it is super and with excellent speeds. The problem is consistency. I suppose I shouldn’t get bent out of shape because my Internet fails right in the middle of doing something important or time-sensitive. My wireless is still 10 times better than what I have to put up with using dial-up for my government computer.
Then again, I don’t have to pay a monthly charge for my dial-up service which powers my part-time job’s equipment online.
This all makes me wonder if cell and wireless Internet service will someday be somewhere next to flawless? With com providers, such as Verizon, trimming more and more workers form its rolls it certainly seems that is a dream of something far, far into the future.
