For the last few weeks, the internet here has been a bit spotty, going out for a few hours per night every couple of days before recovering just before you get fed up enough to call in and complain.  The modem I’ve had for the past couple of years has been very consistent up to this point, so I’m not sure if that means it is starting to die or if the problem is outside the house.  On the plus side, there is plenty to keep me occupied without the internet.  Or not.
