Well, I brought over my computer, modem, and router and presto! – we have the Internet in our home. So, I would like to take this opportunity to take back some of my Nexicom frustrations, and admit that perhaps I don’t have an understanding of how ISP’s work. I’m now assuming they only have to verify your home number before they’ll allow you to connect (PPPoE) and it has nothing to do with your home address. When Bell came to hook up my phone service he mentioned that he was hooking up our high-speed as well… which confused me a little bit since our ISP was Nexicom. He seemed confused as well and said that he had received orders to set up ‘dslab,’ to which I mentioned that we do pay a network fee of $4 a month for a ‘network charge.’ So, even though or Internet is delivered by one company, we are still required to pay Bell for the ability to use it. If anyone out there understands this better than I do, please fill me in. At any rate, we have the Internet and I am no longer edgy.
