Sorry to hear about the job situation!
One of my rental properties had connectivity issues (packet loss) with a new setup from day 1, but had to wait a few weeks before they could have anything done about it.
I called them when the tenant had some time, and I explained what was going on and she was going to book a service call (I think she was new, she certainly didn't seem to know what I was talking about half the time), but after putting me on hold she told me she was instructed to do the whole trouble shooting stuff.
So I had to sit there for 45 minutes doing each little "turn this off, connect this to that, try this, reboot this, do it all again upside-down, etc" before I could get my appointment.
Appointment comes, they replace modem, fixed.
