Phones out again.

Maybe this is why no messages or calls to us in the last few days. No friekin dial tone on the primary line. Lady tried to tell me it was inside the house last night when I called phone repair, but I went out and unscrewed the box and popped open the little door and plug my phone in there and there was no dial tone outside either. Guy just came and tested at the box mounted on the side of the house and said it looked like a problem down the street. The only trouble with that is it is the same huge service (green box) box adjacent to the Y on 106 and it is plowed in. I felt bad the guy has to shovel for an hour before he can get the door open. This is the same box an old guy plowed into last year and knocked over. It was replaced then. At least the computor line is working so I can grump it up a bit.

I have Verizon and couldn't get a line out all day Thursday. They said all circuits busy.
Cell phone couldn't get out either.
I have a bundled package and the Computer and TV worked fine.

Maybe you guys should get Skype as a backup as it goes thru your internet.
