Only connect

Actually, it's taken more than two months. But we finally have broadband! It's taken several visits by technicians, endless hours waiting for technicians and on phone queues, not to mention staring in helpless wonder at the vine-consumed cable boxes in the super-less building beyond our yard, and three companies (CableVision struck out; TimeWarner is AWOL; Verizon finally came through, with just one technician's visit and followup line-work). My poor housemate thinks he's come to a developing country. I guess he has.
