I have been having problems with speed on my computer for some time. Sometimes it would say that I'm off the internet for about 5 secs. or so. It was slow opening things up as in my google chrome.
So finally I got my act together and phoned my provider. I've phoned many times to technical support and always got through and was given assistance.
The other night I ran into all the bimbos they had. They were asking security questions which has never happened before. I had no idea of any of the answers to the security questions. This was set up year's ago and I'd mislaid the information. I talked to four bimbos before I was told to go to the local provider store and exchange the modem and change my security.
Today I went to the provider store with my old modem and was given a new modem. They didn't even ask my name let alone any security questions! Since I'm challenged with computer stuff I aske for instructions on what to do and I was given good information. When I opened the box there was a booklet giving instructions on how to set up the new modem.
Things went quickly. I was being told that I was connected before I new it.
Now the only problem left is to set the iPad to the wi fi. I tried a couple of times and it's not cooperating but not to worry , I'll get there.
So that was my day on Aug 2 , 2023!
Well, sort of my day. I worked on painting my back fence this morning.
The micro Manager wanted to go to the Casino for lunch where it was 2 for 1 for seniors. Then tonight she wanted to go back to the casino for the other senior special. I hate them all.
Not very good phone help but glad you were helped at their store. Painting sounds therapeutic. Sorry you didn’t enjoy your experiences with the specials at the Casino.
ReplyDeletePainting may be therapeutic but I'm not sure what for. I always think of Tom Sawyer and the fence when I paint fences.
DeleteYou don't like the food?
ReplyDeleteHey! Congratulations of getting the modem set up. I am so bad at that kind of stuff.
I'm not really a big fan of eating out anymore.
DeleteIt's great when things go better than expected. So often, it's completely the opposite.
ReplyDeleteWith my level of expertise it's great when things go well.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour new modem sounds great, I hope all goes well. Take care, enjoy your day!
I was surprised how well things went.
DeleteGlad to hear you got your computer problems fixed, at least most of them. They are a nuisance to deal with, I agree!
ReplyDeleteThe other problem is with connecting the wi fi to my ipad. I'm going to have to check you tube.
DeleteWell done on the modem front.
ReplyDeleteEating out for us these days is lunch on the patio. Food done the way we like it.
Key thing you say is eating food done the way you like it. Here the cook is worn out and can't get interested in cooking any more.
DeleteGood job getting your new modem installed! Those kinds of problems can take all day to solve!! I'm not big on eating out anymore either - between cost and possible stomach upsets, it doesn't seem worth it! : )
ReplyDeleteI've got other things I'd rather do than eat out.
DeleteI'm glad you got your modem problems fixed. Dealing with technical issues can be so difficult.
ReplyDeleteHope the fence painting is going well.
Fished the fence today. Weather and other things got in the way of fence painting.
DeleteIf you are having trouble with Chrome and things going slow, I will pass on the trick that my brother gave me..go into settings/apps/chrome/storage..and clear cache. It won't affect your bookmarks..and it works
ReplyDeleteYes, I regularly clear things and it works. This slow down was definitely modem. All of my children (2) told me it was the modem.
DeleteGlad the modem setup went easy for you. We usually don't eat out but we met a friend the other day and had lunch. I was not impressed. Won't be doing that again, next time I'll just have coffee.
ReplyDeleteI dislike those sorts of electronic upgrade tasks. Mine never seem to go smoothly and I always seems to fall into some exception to their rules.
ReplyDeleteMy reading of computer directions is faulty. I miss too many things.
DeleteOld dog. New tricks.
ReplyDeleteCertainly old anyway!
DeleteYour micro manager really is tuned in to the senior specials. My Mom loved the KC casinos when she came to visit, but that's keeping up with the senior deals for sure. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteWe don't gamble and there are many people in there who don't gamble.
DeleteI've had no internet issues lately.
ReplyDeleteYou are so super lucky to have the tech support that you have. Our provided charges LOTS of money and makes you walk on water before they will assist.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lord, security questions! Everybody's worst nightmare! Glad you got the modem set up and hope the iPad cooperates!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe you should cook for the micro manager:) I hate computer problems and setting up new stuff...it requires more patience than I have some days:)
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm sorry Red, but when I finally got to the "I hate them all" I just laughed. Some days are diamonds, some days are stone. I'm glad you got your modem working anyway.
ReplyDelete
