Hope they credited you with the extra!

I always, always reboot everything first, on principle. When I pop off, I swear they'll reboot me to see if they can get me working! The poor guy at the ISP started his spiel and I said "No, the modem is broadcasting and connecting to the computers fine, it's not getting an internet signal acording to the various lights on the front. I've rebooted twice and done a full reset with no change."

He was quite crestfallen that all the standard things they tell you to try had already been attempted, and he had to look up the line status.
