They said wait - there's an opening on the Sunday afternoon schedule. I said fine. Sunday morning tech calls and says "I'm 10 minutes away" I say "come on over" And the fun begins. First he finds the wiring for the house is not code - but fixes it. Then he finds no cable box - but fixes it. Then he sets up the wireless router - and finds he doesn't know the IP address assigned to the router - but fixes it. Then we're setting up my laptop and it won't log on to the router - but he fixes it.
FINALLY - it all works! He was great.
I spent the afternoon ripping out all of the $#%&)_++*(&*^$# DSL cabling and boxes in the house and threw it out!
I'm tired now, but smiling.

Congratulations, it's a cable!
