Today was quite a day.
Changed TV providers, fixed a year-long cable issue with my ISP...
Now I am content with relaxing.
When I was removing the old cable, I saw so many kinks and bends in the cables that I'm amazed we got *any* stable internet connection.
Clearly this was installed by an amateur. Or someone desperate to go home, either way.
The replacement cable is now wired around the floor, wrapped around the door frames, and a hole drilled through it to the mdeom.
The hole is a bit sloppy and there's a bit of excess cable, but christ it looks better than it did previously, that's for sure.
So a year or so back I upgraded to a new internet/TV package that was Quite A Steal™️ at the time.
The schmuck who wired the ethernet cables did it in a sloppy, "get it done so I can get out of here" sort of way: Sticking it on the ceiling, leaving giant gaps near corners, and wrapping it around the door jamb instead of drilling a hole through it.
That is likely the reason why my internet stopped working at 1:30AM last night.
