Eventually

We have our OWN internet connection today.

The faint signal from far far away has been feeding this entire family for over a month and has dropped below threshold for maybe a couple of hundred times. Now we have our OWN! Over 90% strength all over the house, and my laptop says bye-bye to the second-floor desk where it has served as antenna for my Airport base station.

The Comcast installation has NEVER been a smooth one. We had an experience once a year ago when some info is missing in Comcast central server about our account which caused us half a day to get connection. This time, it is EVEN worse, man. The installation guy simply mis-connected something outside our room and we spent like 8 hours trying without no valid IP. How retarted would it be to require a new user to register ONLINE before he gets internet connection? I guess maybe someone at Comcast already realized this as a problem but the entire system is so BEEPed up beyond repair.
