I didn’t know cable companies offered just Wi-Fi. I know we have a wireless
router. It must be hooked up to a cable modem, in order to work as a secured
Wi-Fi. So, that might be why Time Warner is giving you what you consider a
hard time. We receive Wi-Fi here in our RV park, but it is connected to a
larger system and I believe they use some kind of hot spot, like Verizon offers
for cell phones, but this is a little box that sits on a pole. Supposedly
there are three such hot spots in our park. We had to call the company over
the weekend, because we lost service, and yet our manager in the store gas
station, could get online. So, they reset the system, and we got it back.
Crazy. You can get a hot spot through Verizon, but it has limited access i.e.,
gigabytes, that can use and I consider it to be expensive and not that fast.
It’s faster to have the modem through Time Warner and then run your phone off a
wireless router. If you have Verizon phone service, call and talk to them and
they’ll give you the scoop. It doesn’t work for us, but maybe you don’t
require the same access we do. My husband plays games and so cable is best for
us. I can’t wait to get to our new house for that reason.

Oh I am going to get help packing. This new lady Victoria told me I was. And
she seems very nice. I think she was frustrated because I had the correct
information that you already had. She asked me if I knew the Wi-Fi code for
this apartment and I said no. I told her it was RCN but I didn't know it. When
I get home I would like to get Wi-Fi but I don't like how Time Warner is
conducting itself. I don't want their whole Internet package all I want is
Wi-Fi. I don't know how I'm going to sell get it but I sure would like to. But
that's the way the coast. I don't know why these companies won't let you buy
what you want. If you only want Wi-Fi you should be able to pay for it but
that's just my opinion. But I'm really glad I'm going home. But man I'll tell
you that bag of mail was heavy that I brought back. But that box of cookies
that was delivered to my apartment and like you and I'm going to have to throw
out. Because the Cheryl's cookies are made with no preservatives and I talk to
the lady at QVC and she told me know she told me not to eat them because they
been there since late June. She told me just to throw them out. But they did
refund my money. And I switch that stuff back home. The library told me I could
switch the stuff possibly on Friday before I leave. And that should be enough
time to switch it over. The one that's going to take the longest is my homecare
my medical insurance and the department of social services to switch everything
over. That's going to be a pain and then I'm going to have to switch my
landline to Verizon and I don't know how long that's going to take either. It
might take a couple of days I don't know. But hey I'm sure going to be glad to
be going back into my familiar neighborhood Ryan know where everything is. But
you know what this was an educational experience and away. I guess I had high
expectations of making a lot of friends over year and it just didn't happen. Oh
well I guess you live and learn.

Great news! It’s been pretty tough on you being away from home and having to
deal with your surgery and therapy and other issues not favorable for anyone
without medical issues. Take care and hope you get lots of help packing.
Sounds like maybe management might be a little better too. Hopefully things
are looking up for you.

went and I got all my old mail going back to when I left. So that was pretty
good. Then that bag was heavy when I brought it back. Thank you Agnes for a
cab. I took a cab both ways it wasn't that expensive. But hey what can you do.
Anyway I'm going home on the first. The moving people are coming here to pack
up my stuff. The lady that called me when I left your voicemail call me back
and she said I was going back on the first. Then she called me back and she
asked me what the intercom code was for the apartment and I gave her a pic gave
it to her. Apparently the lady that worked there before messed everything up
and gave her the wrong intercom code from my apartment. She asked me if that
was my phone number and I said yes. She didn't know what the Wi-Fi password for
because nobody gave them to her for this apartmentso I'm in the proce
