So our DSL modem went dark yesterday, no longer even registering power. And while we suspiciously chatted with out neighbor, who's same modem died earlier this week on a Verizon conspiracy to take out it's competitors, I had to aknowledge that the modem was no more.

On the plus side, along with our replpacement modem will come upgraded technology that will double our bandwidth, making us even faster than before.

Alas, there is also a downside - we'll be without broadband for 2-3 weeks as the upgrade takes place. We've been given dial-up access for the interim, so I'll appologize in advance for NA and I taking a pass at any of your multi-media links, vacation pics, and such for the time being - it's back to text basics for us, at least in the near future.
