This morning we were greeted bright and early by the appearance of the internet guys! We jumped and cheered and waved and watched as they attached wires to the side of the house and strung even more wires on the power lines. They climbed precariously up a steep hill to string it to the next adjoining power line. Threw a wire up to the top of the pole manually (it took three tries). Raised a ladder cautiously on the side of said hill and climbed up to further the installation. It was a lovely moment.
Then we all watched sadly as they drove off…
…without actually hooking up the internet to the INSIDE of the house.
No word from them after that. No phone call. No, “hey, here’s your router! enjoy!” They just drove off. And now we get to stare at our new fibre optic line coming from our house that we can’t actually use yet.
