Sometimes I believe this thing is the bain of my existence. It's a Hughesnet modem. If you don't know what a Hughes modem is.. you must live in a place with DSL or cable Internet service.. otherwise known as CIVILIZATION!

Because I live in the middle of NO WHERE.. our Internet service options are Dial up, Satellite (Hughes Net or Starband) or ZIPPO.. you know..nadda.. nothing.

After several hours on the phone with Hughes Net tech support we figured out our lovely modem died on us last night.

***Breaking News***

As I was writing this blog from the comfort of Panara Bread I just learned that the modem in fact DID NOT die, but Hughes Net is no longer broadcasting to our modem model. You'd think Tech Support would know that right?
