She's alive

As my mother didn't pick up the phone this morning either (and I tried about every half hour) I went over to her place.

Shows to prove, UPC is a lousy company and their phoning service is crap also.
She just has no connection.
You have all these adds now about internet, tv and phone all thru cable and then you can practically phone for nothing during certain hours.
Well you can sure phone for nothing coz it's simply not working.
