Ants in cyberspace

We have been battling with our internet service provider trying to get them to get our internet connection to be stable. I am beginning to think that DSL stands for Demons Satan and Lucifer. Everyone here believes that the internet is supposed to be down 3-4 times a day, that is the way it always has been. Well neighbors, big city folks are here to set you free! ?They finally came out to take a closer look and found that carpenter ants had eaten the back of the switch that controls the connections for the entire mountain. Well dang-o, who?d a thunk that. We are back online with the exception of the massive lightening strikes we are now getting. Everytime we get a storm (3 times a week), the internet goes down again. Maybe we need to call the intercessors on this one.
