Fed Up!

**stpete** · 11-17-2012, 01:57 PM

With my cable/internet provider! It's unfortunate that last Saturday a condo 2 doors down, but still attached to mine, burnt to the damn ground. Power was restored within 3 hours but the damn cable is still out! Cable co's giving us all kinds of BS stories. Told us Monday they were coming to throw in an emergency line. Never showed up. Thursday: Be there tomorrow. Today: Sir, we have no record. We show you have service. WTF!!!!!

My friend across the lot gave me his SSID # and without that i wouldn't have internet.

Don't want to go to freaking bar or restaurant to watch football. I know how to get the fights tonight, but damn, this is BS!

And these damn Hi-Def tv's are killing me! i can't even get air channels! WTF!

Get direct tv tell them I sent you lol

**austinite** · 11-17-2012, 02:25 PM

Ah. Cable issues. A never ending battle for me, too. I hate dealing with those guys.

I have Comcast due to lowest bundled cost (TV, hispeed internet, phone). But their internet service is quirky, and jumps up and down during the day.

So who's fighting tonight?

....you and the cable guy? =-)

^ I got my money on stpete

Make sure you get something free out of this. I just called comcast two nights ago because my box wasn't showing any picture. I told them that this isn't the first time it's happened and I feel like I'm paying for more then what I get. They gave me HBO free for 6 months. They sent a technician out to fix it yesterday. Turns out the box was fine. I just had the tv on the wrong channel! Lol. I felt like an idiot, but I got HBO out of the deal!

c'mon. that's a sukka's bet!

who'd bet on the scrawny cable guy?

to make this a fair fight, we'd have to handicap StPete somehow, like give the Cable guy a stick? =)

Or tie one of Pete's hands to his leg with a bunch of...cable.

someone might start another thread about how their condo burnt down, and all the A-hole 2 doors down could do is bitch about not having cable lol....

just saying, some people got more problems than not having cable...

Probably so. My wife got a hold of a Area Manager/supervisor and they are supposed to get things going sometime.

In the meantime, i am off to buy an antennae and see if i can rig that up some how. I don't know...

It's UFC tonight Times. I can get that on the laptop.

**DSM4Life** · 11-17-2012, 03:07 PM

I use to do cable I could stop by...

**Lunk1** · 11-17-2012, 03:27 PM

Dsm: Hey Pete does this rag smell like ether?

StPete What the hell areeee.....

Dsm: (Evil Laugh)

**stpete** · 11-17-2012, 04:27 PM

OK, things are somewhat back to normal. Got a hi-def antennae and the tv is as clear as cable! Can't believe it!

And Times, Mickey, Lunk..You guys are too much. At least i was going to the store w/a laugh. haha..

**lstbred** · 11-17-2012, 05:46 PM

GSP (title holder) & Carlos Codit (interum champ) are fighting for the welterweight title. How are you getting it on-line? I cant find a good place to watch it

I would dump that bundle ASAP. They are saying it's going to get even more expensive to drop any part of it and the price always goes up. I did the same thing years ago, went with the comcast bundle until I was paying $150+ a month. I went back to dish newtwork for TV. MUCH better. I think I'm going to drop my comcast internet because it's like $70 a month now and to much. I'm going to try Earthlink DSL for a month and see if it's much slower. My comcast doesn't seem very fast most of the time even though it shows I have good speed on speedtest sites.
