Got to the Florida casa and the internet is dead and so is the car battery in SWMBO'S Mini Cooper. We had a cable tech come to the house and install a signal amp (at THEIR request) back in March. Just for giggles, I took the signal amp out of the chain and the modem came back online. They're coming out tomorrow to see WTF. Then I went up to Batteries+ and bought a new battery for the Mini........for $200!!!!!! Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
I keep the car batteries on a minder when we're gone, but this unit was dying right before we left last month.
