today is sept. 7th. over the period of the last couple of months, i've come home from 10-12 hours at work, to find the internet service down. usually upon calling, i'd get something like "it's a problem on our end" and it would then be handled fairly quickly....relatively speaking. last time, a couple weeks ago, the guy said that it was my modem. i still had one of the old westell wirespeed modems. he agreed to send me out a new modem/router. it's an actiontec.
this past week, the service has been acting goofy. slow, dropping out, then coming back up, so i finally installed the new modem. it hooked up, connected easily, and things seemed to be ok as of last night.
whelp.....woke up this morning, and NO $%^ CONNECTION. i called to find out what was going on. this was AFTER i power cycled the modem. i called from the same line that the dsl comes in through. so what does she tell me after 36 friggin minutes? it's a problem with the line coming into my home. yet i WAS ON THAT LINE TALKING TO HER.
needless to say, i'm really seriously unhappy. for a number of reasons.
1)i've had this service since the 90's, never a problem till the last year or os.
2) i can't seem to get a customer service rep that i can easily understand.
3) i can't seem to get a customer service rep that knows anything other than to read from the script.
4) it really is unacceptable in this day and age to have the service keep dropping, to have people doing customer service that don't have a clue, or the ability to clearly speak english, and to end the call with something that is obviously not the solution.
if i can't get this resolved today(i highly doubt it will be), i will be calling comcast tomorrow morning, and will be canceling my service through verizon by tomorrow night.
a quick update. they're still not admitting a problem with the servers, and scheduled an apt for tuesday between 8 and 12. i'll be at work. i will also have comcast before then if that's how they're gonna play it.
