that seriously sucks dude but don't hold a grudge 1. not worth it 2. probably easily fixable (if i could see whats going on).
ok easy way to post on forums/reclaim connection
get a usb drive, live boot a linux distro (ubuntu, fedora etc.)
and the alternative option (i use this when my webs are down) coffee shops, book stores, fast food places, all have free WiFi if you have a laptop use one of these
