Living in the Boonies
We’re not really in the boonies but it feels like it because we’ve had this house for 4 weeks and still don’t have internet or cable! We could survive without cable, but internet? No internet — not working out!
Going to the library or Starbucks or any other free WiFi hotspot to get online is not convenient. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful, but… We have MiFi through Verizon and use it daily but we use up TOOOOO much bandwidth just checking email, banking and other daily “needs” for me to upload pictures, YouTube videos, ect. too.
Grrrrr. Getting Charter out here to do what they need to do is proving to be a challenge.
I’m hopeful and doubtful at the same time. Hopeful because I want it to happen. Doubtful because we’ve heard and read countless stories with unhappy endings that all started out exactly like ours.
I’ll let you know how our’s ends as soon as it does.
Until we get our problem solved, I’m taking pictures and video – to share eventually.
For now, intermittent posts and Facebook updates from my phone are the best I can do.
In the mean time, if you feel like tweeting:
#Charter please get internet to @sawdust_girl as quickly as possible!
Maybe that will help.
hahaha ha
(you never know) ; -)
Ahh, I see the problem. Charter is horrible to do business with. Go with satellite and DSL through the phone company if you can. Even if it costs a little more, it is so worth it!
It really stinks not to have internet. I live out in the middle of nowhere and our internet connection is blotchy. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn’t. SO aggravating! Anyway, I tweeted because you totally deserve the service they promise! Maybe it’ll help!! 🙂
That sucks. I tweeted for you. Praying for speedy internet service.
If I knew what twitter even was, I’d totally do it. All 50. As it is, I’m good to even figure out how to post a comment. Good luck!
Oh man. I’m so sorry. We had similar problems when we lived in the boonies. We were in the EXTREME boonies though. We had no internet provider, so we had to go with satellite service and that was HORRIBLE!! Good luck to you!
