Cable modem still out; TV service going in and out.
June 25th, 2003
Cable modem still out; TV service going in and out. (Sometimes we have
nothing; sometimes we have analog only; sometimes we have digital
stations too.) The “CABLE” light on my cable modem (Toshiba, PCX2500)
alternates between dark and slow-blink, both of which seem to mean
“badness 10000”. I’d like to think that all this variability in the
behavior of the network is the sign of technicians hard at work at this
very minute. (Deep in my heart I know that this is not true; that,
instead, things are so horribly wrong that they can’t quite decide just
what kind of wrong they are.)
