I hate bellsouth because they are assholes ;) even though their service is great 99.9% of the time, their Customer Support is crappy and they are so damn stupid you have to KNOW they are going to make a mistake whenever you talk to them no matter what its about ;) I think ive had only 1 time I talked to BS (Bellsouth, yes its also BS for a reason :) ) without them screwing something up.
I recently changed phone #'s cause someone was harassing my house :) my 2 phone lines got changed and 1 of my 2 dsl lines got changed. BUT somehow the other dsl line DISAPPEARED, no record no nothing ;) I called bellsouth and they said oHh you should have called bellsouth fast access to tell them to change the lines. Which was hilarious to me because they are the same people if "DIFFERENT" companies, lordy. Then I moved to a new house they managed to screw it up again AHh but good old BS. And then AT&T they are a bunch of bozos too lol, I was going to get Digital cable when I first moved in they told me they have it, they sent out the techs. after 3 hours debugging they goto my tv box and go WOW this block is the only block in a 3 mile area without digital lines run. DUH!!! No wonder my cable modem wasn't working you nitwits ;) Much less the stuff starband was selling really had very poor QA on the products 25%-50% defect rate the first 6 months. I hear its down now but oh well. I've decided they are all terrible and I think I'll go into business providing T1's to people for the cost of dsl :) Its bound to make millions let me get the people from enron on the phone to work through the nitty gritty Lol ;) IF anyone has had similar experiences with the evil corporate broadband providers feel free to share Bill Wheatley Senior Database Developer Ediets.com Macromedia Certified Coldfusion Developer 954.360.9022 X159 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 10:57 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Broadband I'd feel bad - been there, done that. Matter of fact, I did have a loose Internet connection. But the AT&T cable guy replaced a section of coax and put a new tight connector on the cable, then it worked blazingly fast again.
