I may be out of touch for a lot longer

by Posted on

So now that SBC admits that I have a phone line (a week after dial tone) they will gra­cious­ly allow the DSL instal­la­tion as ear­ly as the TWENTIETH.

I don’t remem­ber broad­band instal­la­tion tak­ing this long since the days of ISDN, and that required a team of spe­cial­ists to show up onsite.

All my email is stream­ing into the void, all my mail­ing lists are dead and down, it’s all fuxx0red. Don’t both­er email­ing me unless you know one of my s00per-seekrit email addresses.

Bah. THIS IS WHY I STARTED CALLING THE COMPANIES INVOLVED SIX WEEKS AHEAD OF TIME, AND ALLOWED A FULL WEEK FOR TRANSITION. STILL NOT ENOUGH, WAS IT?

In order to do this tran­si­tion, I would have had to have dis­con­nect­ed the pre­vi­ous occu­pan­t’s ser­vice two weeks before they moved out. There’s GOT to be a bet­ter way. SBC, you suck.

    Indeed, it’s not news at all. I have hor­ror sto­ries that would make my hair curl. And Pac Bell has always been bet­ter than SNET in Con­necti­cut where I moved from. Of course now both Pac Bell and SNET are… SBC.
