UPDATE:

The problem we were seeing with the slow DSL speeds and dial-up issues, has been resolved at this time. Windstream* worked with us throughout the afternoon, they have switched to a new port with their phone lines. If you are still having problems please feel free to contact us at the office. 877.686.9114

We are receiving reports of connection problems for some DSL users in the Windstream coverage area. We know how frustrating it can be to have slow connection speeds…or unable to get online.

We are currently working with Windstream* to correct the problem that we are seeing. It seems there is a ‘trunking problem’ (problems with the telephone lines) between Southeast Missouri and Little Rock. They have dispatched technicians to look into the problem, but we do not have an ETA at this time.

If you are a DSL customer and have a 4200 Speedstream modem, one solution that we have found to help some of our customers is to disconnect the phone line from the modem and reconnect it.

The areas affected are: Doniphan, Greenville, Clubb, Wappapello, Williamsville (both dial-up and DSL).

We will try to keep you updated, and hope that this issue is resolved quickly.

semo.net Civic League Team (8-10 yr old boys) won second place in the end of season tournament. To get to the championship game, the team had to get past Express Claims. During the season, Express Claims only lost one game and that was against semo.net. Knowing they were facing the number one seed in the tournament, semo.net took the field for a tough battle. The final inning started locked 7-7, semo.net scored 5 runs to take the lead (12-7) and the defense ended the game with a 5-3-5 throw-em-out-tag-em-out double play as Isaac Lasiter took a short-hop ball at third base, threw to first for the out and Kirby Coleman took the throw, tagged the base and threw right back to Isaac to tag out the runner going to third. BEAUTY! semo.net won 12-10.

The championship game was one hour later against Century 21. The game was a low scoring 7-5 loss for the semo.net team as their season came to a close. We are proud of our sponsored team.
