My Poor, Crippled Internet

March 20, 2007 |

I was having trouble this weekend with my internet, but I thought it was the usual in-house stuff. Come to find out this morning that Embarq, my lovely ISP, is having major issues with its service throughout Virginia and North Carolina. According to the message on their customer service line, some websites will be unavailable to some customers. I didn’t think this was such a big deal until I discovered that one of the websites unavailable to me is our personal real estate site at CvilleAreaRealEstate.com. I had a whole bunch of additions and revisions I wanted to make today, and now I am sunk until further notice. On the plus side, I have checked with a few people in other areas who are still able to get onto the site, so it isn’t as big of a disaster as it could be.
Then I discovered that another of the unavailable sites is Mike’s Corner, who is hosting this week’s Carnival of Real Estate. I would love to read this week’s posts (and find out how mine fared), but alas, all I receive is a blasted Firefox error message. I am sure that as time goes on, I will discover other sites that are unavailable. I just hope that Embarq gets their act together before I find too many more. . .

UPDATE:
Add Inman.com to my list of victims.  Now this is getting really annoying. . .
