Default 928sRUS is experiencing technical difficulties

Roger has asked me pass along that his internet connection is fubar. customers please call 817 430 2688 for NEW orders. Existing orders will be handled normally. There may be a slight delay in some shipments but he expects the interruption to be brief.

the city of Doube Oak is migrating to optical cable from the local CO and they may have done damage to a section of homes that includes 928sRUS.

we appreciate your patience, and thank you for your business!

Sounds like a good day to take the phone off the hook, sit back and drink for a while.

We are back in business - thanks for your patience.

I pay a lot of $ for a "business class" internet service where they promise to be out the same day to fix any problems.
Today it made it all worthwhile as it was fixed in less than three hours.

Back to business as normal. Now where did I put that beer!

If you ever do that again, you'll never see another part from any vendor.
