Update about Internet Status

demeter918... wherein I discover that my internet was never cut off in the first place.
So, my supervisor calls YahooBB for me to inquire about my problems finally (she's been out all last week because of a thrown back... or something like that) and they told her that while I'd neglected to pay my bills, they'd never actually cut me off. I'd paid at the last month mark that would have inspired them to make me internetless, but it didn't happen. Thus, my internet being gone wasn't because of them.
Why was it then? She called technical support (which, alas, is offered in Japanese only) and they said it most likely was due to something called a 'gas alarm'. Gas alarm? Gas Alarm? Whazzat? So she calls the gas company on YahooBB's recommendation and they inform me that I didn't have one to begin with so that wasn't the problem. Next, I text a friend who suggests calling NTT. My supervisor is understandably annoyed by now, but she gamely calls NTT (my phone company). And they say nothing's wrong with the phone line.
Thus...
I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT ANYMORE. I have exhausted all approaches and I'm now tempted to pound on the modem with a hammer. Which I won't, because I rent it.
*weeps*
Is this punishment for some unknown crime I've committed?
*lament*
