DSL outage

So, I went almost the whole weekend with my DSL down. I called Monday about getting it fixed and up again. Of course, they start telling me to do this and do that. I've already done everything they suggested and I tell them that. Then, they say it will be Monday afternoon before someone can come out and check the Linksys router to see if that's the problem, between noon and 7 PM.

I tell them that's no good. I have to be at work at 5 and leave home by 4. The tech on the other end of the phone promises they'll have someone out no later than 4. So I wait...

I got ready for work and waited until 4:20. No repair person. No DSL. When I got home from work, DSL was still down.
Then, this morning, it's working.

I'm thinking that there was rain water in the phone lines somewhere, causing noise that wouldn't let the signal go through, and that it simply dried up enough to work again with no help from them. I'm sure they'll take all the credit for it, though, as they do think they are so great they can control the very elements of the universe.
