aaaa. tech was here to fix internet stuffs and figured out why we're getting slow internet after three hours of troubleshooting but couldn't fix it

it turns out we've been paying for someone else's internet and someone else has been paying for ours

because someone fucked up somewhere and swapped some network hardware

-F

the tricky bit now is that they don't know who has the internet that we're paying for

they said the plan is basically to just unplug it on their end and see who calls to complain

@Felthry oh, wow, oof

hopefully that means fixed soon?

- 🤞🏽 🦊

@Felthry

Eesh. I wonder if they're going to refund you the difference, because you were paying for service you weren't getting.

@dodec we're going to complain until they do honestly

@Felthry My wife had an incident once where someone else's car insurance payment went to her account, and she put *so much* mental labor into making sure everybody was credited rightly. She's still a little angry the car insurance made that so hard.
