Hi Hidden Tech, In my never-ending--sigh!!--struggle to re-establish my studio after Irene I am now running into a problem re-establishing my internet service. At darling beloved 2 Conway Street my internet service was established by a modem attached to the phone service. I plugged in--I got internet service. Because I had Valinet at home, I could use Valinet at a very reduced price at the studio. Now Valinet is not working. First they claimed that my modem was not working. Now it was on the counter--it floated--along with my credit card processor--but Valinet claimed that my modem did not work so I purchased another modem. Cost me $70 approximately. That did not work either. Now Valinet is claiming that the building at 6 Bridge Street in Shelburne Falls is not wired for internet. It is hard to get Valinet to return my phone calls--and I do admit I do not try every day--there is so much to deal with. The new modem does not work at 6 Bridge Street. I never receive 2 green lights. Is this a real concern? What do I do? Any one want a new modem--I did purchase it following Valinet's advice--GRRR. Suggestions welcome. Help welcome. I am a quilt maker. There is only so much I can deal with in any one day--I try for one thing per day. Today for instance was trying to not pay taxes on a building that has been demolished--if you know what I mean??? Another grrrr!!! My step-son--definitely a geek--suggested I just get a little thing that plugs into my computer from ATT--will access the internet for a small monthly fee. Is this a good solution? Money is definitely an issue. I did after all lose the late great pink building. Thanks everyone in advance.
