I am very sorry for not entering that quiz @Mi-Amigo. I actually prepared my answers, as always, in OneNote but I appear to have overlooked the need to send them in. 🤣

I have taken the liberty of self-marking them and would have scored four out of eight ! 👍

I hope you have made progress in the resolution of your internet issues.
