Hi Jim!

You can't call them, they have a callback system. When you call you get 
this infuriating computer voice conversation software that hasn't a 
clue. They jerk your chain for twenty minutes or so with this and then 
you finally get a real person. You explain the problem to the person who 
tries to push it back on you, tell you to reboot the modem, replace the 
wires, get a windows computer. By that time it has come and gone three 
times.

The one time a level one tech did call me he was incomprehensible. I 
asked him where he was, he said India. There is two problems to that, 
you can't understand what they call "English" and I think he was just 
guessing as to the problem. I finally hung up on him because I couldn't 
understand him and he couldn't understand me. And it never did drop 
while I was talking to him.

The "Internet" light goes out and you can't do anything. No web pages, 
no mail in or out. After a while it comes back on again.
