Chanel Reign 28097 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Does anyone know what the term link flapping means? Rogers was at my door a few minutes ago and said the have a flap problem and will be in the neighbourhood and Rogers clients homes for the next 2 days? It has something to do with landlines. For a few days now mine keeps disconnecting. C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chanel Reign 28097 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks for the info you 2, and the OJ all over myself Kathryn. Effin (excuse me) Rogers is going to be in my neighbourhood for the next 2 days AND in and out of my house!! How very inconvenient to me...and I had the embarrassment of having to cancel a playdate. Mother Nature is none too pleased the the moment. There will be no labia flapping in my house today or tomorrow. :icon_cry: Looking around for that confounded Hitachi!

canuckhooker 19203 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 My dyslexia kicked in and I saw fapping. I guess it is not much better. I think I shall go load up "Turning Japanese" on the sound system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first thought, given the site, was those dancers from the 1920's(?) that were called flapper girls. Posted via Mobile Device 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottanon 2930 Report post Posted September 25, 2013 they should be able to do what ever they need to outside at your box connection. They should not have to come into your house. And K. Bardot, I had the same thought. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geez, you'd think if they were going to go to people's homes and discuss the issue, they'd use terms that people outside the telecom industry could understand -- or at least explain them. What's the point of going to someone's door only to tell them "there's some non-trivial flabberghasting with the secondary optical subwidgets"? Just tell them that service is dropping and you need to look at stuff to fix it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bardot, I had the same thought. LOL Yeah - I agree, there's no reason Roger's needs to have access to your place. I'm thinking if the routing issue is due to a hardware problem, it can be contained at the network level. It sounds pretty clunky if the techs have to manually isolate certain network paths from your router. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chanel Reign 28097 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 Well Mr Rogers was here and I was the 12th house he rewired and replaced phone modems for. Then he did something with his wire in my backyard for 40 minutes. :icon_eek: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
