Tom's internet is still down. Apparently, their new ISP is completely inept and can't figure out why the hell it won't work. So he's still offline even though the modem is all hooked up. And he's rather depressed about it... *sighs sadly* It breaks my heart... T_T I wish I could help him...

For Tom, if you read this later:

modem: from mo(dulator) + dem(odulator)

A device for transmitting usually digital data over telephone wires by modulating the data into an audio signal to send it and demodulating an audio signal into data to receive it.

So, I guess technically your dad is right, but it's still called a DSL modem.
