Home internet issues

Hi Treants - kelidan/breakawish here. Brighthouse came out today to check the service for our home internet after I couldn't stay connected yesterday. Turns out it is the line between the tap for our area and our home. This means I have to wait until they have someone out to re-run the line (it's underground but in conduit so hopefully that won't be an ordeal). They estimate 10 days. We have moments of time where things are useable but it is totally unpredictable. I may try to login this evening via my LTE tether but I can't promise it will be useable enough to raid. So - i'm going to focus on gearing other ways where it won't be a detriment until this gets resolved :(. I've never had to go this long w/o reliable internet ... I may wind up 10 days later having carved stone tools while gathering nuts and berries in the woods near my house :)

Good news - after a patch they did at the main distribution point it looks like we have service again (man that was a long 3 days ... dark ages!) so I should be back into the grind this evening.

sounds positively barbaric.
