Oh, the drama, the drama. How can it be so very hard to connect a phone line? And if it is hard and the whole thing fails, how hard is it just to keep the same order open and try again, rather than doing a different order and adding 5 days to every attempt?
Apparantly, we'll have a phone line on Wednesday. That's a full two weeks after my first phone call to Telstra. Then it's another three days to get the ADSL. FAIL!!!
Anyway, MrIcy's foot is completely buggered, so he went (limped) into the city today to get his laptop and his 3G wireless connection. Thank god. I have temporary access.
I don't mind the no internet so much; my real problem is that the Tivo has been offline for 2 weeks now, so the program guide has run out. All of my programs are lost! And I don't even watch Lost! And the manual record doesn't work properly (it always records on Channel 10), and I can't report and error, because I don't have internet access. It's a vicious circle.
So, my quest for tonight is to bridge MrIcy's internet connection across to fake it like an ADSL router so the Tivo can download. This is expected to be a bit tricky, especially as MrIcy's computer is a work one and I can't break it. Wish me luck.
UPDATE: OK, it appears I am freaking uber as after several hours of trying a number of different things I not only got MrIcy's 3G card working on my laptop (with no provided software), I also was able to share it across the wireless router to the Tivo. We have TIVO again!

I'm sorry you're going through all this aggravation. Moving is torture.
Sorry the little one had a melt down.
This too shall pass, and things will settle down.
Have a wonderful rest of your week. :)
Love,
Lola
