So, good morning SRiC.
I called the morons at Surewest who insisted on running through the script even though I already performed all of the steps on my own. DSL modem hooked directly to my desktop, bypassing the Netgear Wireless Router - check. DSL modem reset - check. DSL modem on/off - check. All lights are green on the DSL modem - check. Then the guy tells me he can see my modem so it must be my computer. To which I reply - why don't you look back in your records at the last time we had a power outage (lightning strike)? I had the exact same symptoms and it ended up being your block in the telephone can on the side of the house, despite you being able to see my modem.
It's just frustrating that they have to treat every caller as if they're a moron.
