The negative publicity should be enough to get them to fix your issue. Hopefully, it will also get them to fix other peoples issues as well. You should try to contact their public relations rep and see what they have to say......or at the very least send them a link to the article so that they might read it and try to make some changes in the way they do things. Wait.......did i just say that? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/much-faster-internet/page/2#post-38987 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:51:14 +0000 The Geek 38987@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>So today I call in and got really angry with them... they "looked into it" and said there's a problem with my account and it would take 3 days to fix and they'd call me back...</p> <p>EXCEPT THEY ALREADY GAVE ME THAT LINE last week... nothing ever happened. Of course I relayed that to them, and told them I'm switching back to cable if they can't fix the problem... but who knows if they'll fix it.</p> <p>It seems like they use one of two techniques:</p> <p>1) Great, everything is updated and it will be active at 10pm. (Lying through their teeth as they say it and nothing happens)<br /> 2) There's a problem with your account and it will take 3 days to fix. (Translation: Don't call us for 3 more days)</p> <p>I think I'm going to write an article on this topic... maybe 60,000 subscribers reading about their idiocy will help speed things along. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/much-faster-internet/page/2#post-38971 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 07:16:12 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 38971@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@the geek just tell them that you are THE GEEK and they should do what you tell them too as you are the master of all the geeks :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/much-faster-internet/page/2#post-38931 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:40:30 +0000 raphoenix 38931@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ALWAYS </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/much-faster-internet/page/2#post-38928 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:23:08 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 38928@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>hmmmmm.....blank post sounds iffy </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/much-faster-internet/page/2#post-38925 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:15:11 +0000 raphoenix 38925@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <br /> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/much-faster-internet/page/2#post-38923 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:03:26 +0000 The Geek 38923@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The jury is in.
