I'm going to shoot someone.

Today, that would be Verizon. After having to reconfigure everything so that my damned modem would, you know, actually be able to send out emails, IMs, etc. the service is still crawling along. Thanks for naught, twerps.

I think I'll be switching back to Earthlink in November/December.

P.S. I have a horrible foreboding of doom that this could morph into the horror tale that Alan Davies lived through with Virgin Media. *gets out stakes and garlic, and voodoo dolls... just in case.*
