I don't know what time it happened, but it also happened to me at around 7pm central time. I read on the support site for proboards that sometime the main computers that keep the 3 million proboards site running get overloaded, and it's better not to refresh a page when it starts, it just futher overloads the routers on their site, and it generally last only a half hour or so, but has lasted as long as 3 days, at that time the admin/me is supposed to notify proboards to fix the issue.

They came the other day and put a new electric meter on our house then this week they are coming to add the box and fiber optic cable. Then next week they are coming and hooking us up to Light band.
We are anxious for this to happen!!
We've had so much trouble with other providers and this one is connected to the electric company.

I'll have to check that out, Is this a rural electric, or a large city elec. I have to stay on this hughesnet internet sattlelite, but it is not worth the trouble, or headache, and especially the cost. My Mome has Dish networks Blue/something, and it's worse than my provider. I hate to talk to India when something happens. Nothing against other countries or nationalities, but I miss america!!

Dads on knology and I`m running off a secured router from his pc. Usually don`thave a problem unless someone is tryin to access the connection without the pass word. I set this up and I`m the only one knows the code. Not even Dad or Kristin know the code and I set them up also to use their laptops. Don`t use my pc much anymore.

I don't even own a PC anymore, Lightning fried my motherboard, and harddrive, and I went for a while without one, and when my youngest girl got ready for college, she bought herself a laptop, and a few month later she was saying she wished she had bought a smaller laptop, for carring purposes, so I bought her a new one, and inherited this one, and it's a been a good one. It has never seen a Pornographic site, or been defiled as my old PC had. I had been addicted to pornography since I was a young teen, all the way until Nov of 2006, when I was delivered from the addiction. I'm closer to God than I've ever been because I give him my praise and thank him daily, and read and study his word daily. the word is the absolute key to getting to knowing who He is, and I think Him for deliverance. It's not a cakewalk, but it is a walk that can be made, if you keep your eyes on the prize. Praise God, and Jesus My Savior, and I'll stop preaching now. Randy

We still have a PC and two lap tops. So each of us has a computer then we have one we use specifically when we traveling.
Randy, Lightband showed up on our voting ballots a couple years ago. It was voted in by a hugh margin. Then the electric company has changed all the poles, wires, etc so they could run the fiber optic cable through out the city and the county. It's bee a long process but they have finally gotten to us. ;D

Where I live is like the land that time forgot, We are one of the poorest counties, with a huge percentage of unemployment. So many business, and factories have shut down in the llast 5 years. So I don't look for Light band, that's still light years ahead of us right now. Maybe OBama's plan for better internet for all the rural areas will help us, although I believe his rural area's are pertaining to the suburbs of chicago though! JMHO

I don't think it matters much Randy where you live. We get our electricity from Cumberland Electric and the TVA. There was no outgo of money from the customers. And cable, telephone is also available. We all ready have Direct TV so we only need internet. The cost is absorbed through the people who hook to these communication devices. Our Lightband is going to be $39.45/month. We are paying Charter double that amount for internet only. Don't get me started on Obama.

Our power is provided by TVA, so maybe I need to contact them. My internet is costing me 89.00 a month for very inferior service, I started with their 59.00 a month plan, which is the cheapest. I wouldn't reccomend Hughenet Internet to no one, period. They have the worst service, that's based in India, and they want a high dollar to keep your equipment running, luckily I have a smart son in law, who is very mechinal, and techy. Randy

TVA? is what I pretty much figured Randy. All of the electricity is made for the TVA at Cumberland City. I guess you could find out something from your electric company if they are considering offerring fiber optic.
Yep I've heard a lot of things about Hughes Net and none of it has been good.
YES!! O BOMB US!! LOL!! Now they messing with SS. I'm not drawing SS and I'm glad of that but I hate to see all the people who have worked all their lives be cheated on their monthly income. What a mess this Chicago-politician has created.
