Internets

We've had problems with the internet connection since we moved in here (mind you, we had problems at the last place, too). The owners of the apartment (who were living here until we moved in) had been struggling to resolve them for a couple of years, making innumerable calls to the ISP, investigating other ISP (there are none on this block, it turns out), etc. We were scraping by with a combination of the really unreliable connection here and a somewhat unreliable connection somewhere else in the building. Between them, we had at least some kind of connection most of the time.

Today they finally managed to get a really competent technician out here. He works for the ISP and the phone company, so he was able to do end-to-end troubleshooting. He seems to have isolated and solved the problem:

Again: it took two years for someone to figure this out.

Things are sometimes a bit makeshift in Argentina...
