wednesday whine
want some cheese with that?
it took me 3 months
to get a time-warner bill settled
i will skip the absurd parts
cut to the chase
i got them
to give us
a new plan
i will
tell
you
some
of
the
silly
they offered us
the watch/record/playback in any room/on any set plan
my response
does it come with more rooms/sets 'cause we've only got two rooms and one set
or
the combo plan of internet/cable/phone plan
my response was
with your crappy service if the connection is lost how will i call you to let you know?
or
the free wifi plan
thanks
i already have it
finally
we settled
on a lower rate
high def dvr box
faster internet
hbo/starz
plan
a week later
the dvr box
started
to act wonky
and
toonman discovered
it did
no longer
had
picture in picture
i called t-w
the earliest
appointment
was
8 days off
i said fine
this past sunday afternoon
a tech came
replaced the box
voila
picture in picture
before
he had pulled away from the house
the box and tv were not working
he came back
fixed the connection
toonman had knocked loose
two hours later
the pip was frozen
and
the remote no longer worked
i called t-w
spoke to 2 or 3 different people
each had a fix
i was told to try
none
worked
they insisted
the remote was the problem
they offered
to mail
me a new one
waving the $15 charge
i said
no thanks
its not the remote
its the box
send help
they said
dispatch would call us back in 15 min
to advice
if a tech could come by
that evening or on monday morning
45 min later
i called again
because
no one
had
called
us
voila
tech will be there monday morning between 9 and 10 am
alls well now
they replaced the dvr box
again
but
since
its t-w
i am
sure
within a month
it will be having issues
oh yeah
its
water tower wednesday
isn't it
here you go
