Stranded

What to do when you boot up your computer and there’s no internet connection? Two days ago, our phone line went dead for an hour, after that internet was down until a few minutes ago. If you didn’t change your DSL settings, the hardware doesn’t smell or look charred, the software is untouched, then there’s not much one can do: Sit tight and wait. Telekom customer support can check basic DSL availability, so that’s what I did and called them. The storm yesterday night must have broken something since there are outtages all over the country. If you’re lucky and have alternative internet access (a modem or an IT cafe around the corner), take a look at this website next time. Currently there are still some people in my area having DSL blackouts.
