Later, I rushed to use the hot tub before the Internet tech arrived. 'Jimmy' texted me and asked if he could stop in earlier than his scheduled 1:30 to 3:30 pm window. Sure, why not! I'm typing today's entry via Novus Internet.
I had my own attractive, white modem but the company requires use of theirs. It's free but it's not very pretty. I can hide it better than it currently is.
I was able to keep my two-point mesh routers. So, there was nothing to change when the Internet started flowing. My WiFi network is called, FORBIDDEN PLANET and it hosts all my wifi connected devices. I was able to tell Google to turn on the hallway lights when Jimmy was still packing up his tools. I was without Internet for about eight minutes.
