Internet Connection Blues

I'm having the most annoying problem with my internet connection. It's intermittently going out and coming back on...and it's gotten to the point where it's off more than it's on. It shows all the signs of a loose connection at the pole in the alley (we don't have underground utilities in our neighborhood), possibly due to a wind-blown pecan tree limb rubbing against the line. Here's the kicker: Cox can't send anyone to look at it until Friday afternoon.

In the meantime, I'm watching my cable modem and attempting to send and receive email, upload website updates and post blog entries during those rare occasions when all the lights are burning...like now! Gotta run...
