A foggy day at Mystery Creek this morning. Last week 132,000 people got through the gates and into Fieldays via technology we created for exactly that job

Got home to find our ONT has lost power, no lights on at all. And of course it's got a weird power supply plug so I can't test if it's just a power supply problem. Now I'm listening to Spark's in hold music that sounds like someone is strangling a cat in a barrel of water while singing a song out of tune. You'd think hold music would be easy for a tech company. Thankfully this is the first time I've needed ISP support in well over a decade.

Just gone 2 hours on hold. Been told twice that they are experiencing more than usual call volumes. I've rolled my eyes twice

Spark answered. A technician will be at home tomorrow to replace ONT and they gave me 20gb on my phone. Cool. Happy. Good stuff Spark.
