Back online. The technician is wonderful and really knows his stuff. When he got here he showed me that everything was in the red - which meant interference on everything - phone and Internet and all had to do with ATT being stupid and using cheap stuff AND trying me in with the fellow in the back house. He's now given me my own line and everything should be better now because of it.

When I looked at the email confirming the appointment, I noticed it had my old, old phone number on it and if they tried to call that they might cancel. So, I called Spectrum and got that old number off - I'd already put in the correct landline number and then I added the cell so they could send text updates. She told me that nothing had been cancelled. She could not have been nicer and this entire experience with Spectrum has been wonderful.

That said, the Internet WAS out last night, but only for about thirty minutes at three in the morning.

That's the day so far. No idea how much more he has to do outside before coming in and doing whatever he needs to in here, which I think is just plugging the main phone base into the modem rather than the wall thing.

After that, I'll call ATT and make sure they understand no more ATT, no more auto pay, and when am I getting the refunds.

The woman at Spectrum recommended I do that just to insure that ATT did it and I got confirmation.

On last night's episode of South Park, several of the children were using AI to do their homework......chaos ensued.

It's the wave of the future in real life, even.

So it sounds like BK is now UNSHACKLED!    You've been suffering, Internet-wise, needlessly, it would seem.

Bruce, that's great that you were able to save so much money on your phone and internet. I'm currently using Consumer Cellular -- it's cheap and no dropped calls or other problems. You're also the first person I know to get their phone service from Spectrum and I'm glad to hear that they've done a good job.

I just had my first disastrous Amazon Fresh delivery. I think there's a shopping bag with 5 or 6 of my items sitting in another apartment or swtill sitting at Amazon. And when the ice cream arrives and it isn't frozen, someone at Amazon is not packing frozen items very securely.


Sorry. Amazon will refund you, won't they?

I was at the hair salon yesterday having a haircut, when I quietly commented to my hairdresser that I found one of the customers there annoying. He agreed. Then I suddenly realized who she looks like: Majorie Taylor Greene! It was rather uncanny.
