Some of you may have noticed that I'm rarely on the forums lately and having trouble reading all the posts. Long story short, I haven't had internet access at home for the past going on 2 weeks now. If you work for Time Warner Cable (my ISP), just keep that to yourself cause I'm at my wits end and likely to hunt you down and hurt you. I'm still waiting on the "engineers" to come and "fix" our problem (since the poor van guy isn't allowed to climb the power pole to fix it) and pretty much getting wrung through the giant corporate nightmare of customer service. These afformentioned "engineers" dont even take flipping phone calls so I can find out when/if they plan to show up. I've been told weeks, days, hours, months by numerous employees at the customer service office. Compound this problem with the fact that we dont have a phone line ran to our house (no DSL or modem) and the satellite line of site is blocked by 50 ft tall trees lining the southwest angle and I have no way of getting internet at home.

Add to that the fact that the thanksgiving holiday and soon the christmas holidays are upon us and my ability to get service back looks bleak. Furthermore, I won't be working (the only place I have net access) and something tells me these mysterious "engineers" won't be working all this coming thanksgiving week. As much as I loathe them as the scum of the earth, bottom of the food chain, and complete wasteful drain on our society, I'm considering employing a lawyer at this point since I'm out of all other options.

Sorry about the rant, but I had to get that off my chest. To finish the story, don't be surprised if you see very little of me in the near future. Regardless of how much I enjoy interacting with all of you, its going to be difficult and limited. If you really feel you need my help, your best bet is to pm me or email my screen name @gmail.com ;). Wish me luck in staying out of jail for assault on an office full of individuals :S
 
OoO Bummer :/ , I have comcast. Well actually my family does. I use the neighbors wireless :rolleyes: . But they dont need to know that :shifty: . Good Luck on the situation tho :good:
 
So i finaly start buying tank stuff and ski leaves.


I am off to get a gun and an angry mob.


We got your back ski just tell us were they live.
 
Borrowing the parent's computer :D. The engineers live at 784 Indian Church Rd in I think its West Seneca NY.

And demonmagus, UK lawyers are not the wastes of space that our US guys are. You guys have WAY different legal system details that prevent anywhere near the amounts of friolous lawsuits we get over here -_-. I mean christ, we've got people trying to sue someone cause their coffee was too hot and it spilled on them :angry:. Another day another time though.

Like I said guys, if you really want my oppinion, try pm/email. I'll still have quality access to those at work
 
Check if Verizon offers FIOS in your area. Faster and way cheaper then RR.

Have fun!!

Oh god... this is bad, this is very very bad.

There is nothing worse than losing your net connection, though... really.. oh! wait! scratch that... just thought of something... losing great marine advice as you start buying stuff.... kinda like he ^^ said.

:-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Perhaps we should begin a petition !

Gonna follow Homer's advice tonight and drink away my sorrows :). You UK guys probably dont know, but the night before thanksgiving is one of the biggest party nights of the year, rivaling new years eve over here. I'm actually going to go to a bar in canada and heckle Leafs fans as my Sabres beat them silly. Gonna be fun.
