« on: October 21, 2023, 08:46:56 AM »
Their earliest estimate put the resolution at 4AM on Sunday! Ummmmm excuse me but do they not know I have AH to play tonight?

Get it together Verizon! Don’t make me come down there!  :old:

I haven't noticed any issues here in TX. I do not use them for internet, that isn't an option where I live. I did notice that when I was in New Iberia earlier that the signal strength in town was OK but not great. The data speed (4G) was almost down to 56k dial up. A mere 15 miles farther south a speed test was dramatically faster.

I live in a cell dead zone, cut off from the towers by hills so I have to use landline internet by windstream. More like clogged toilet than a stream but the verizon signal booster will only work with a landline internet connection. None of the other cell providers can produce a signal at my home so I am kind of stuck.

A week plus ago starting at ~16:00 Friday lost my Rogers, (cable, inet, phone) they said for maintenance. It was to be finished by 22:00 that night. NOPE! All weekend gave various time that the maintenance would be finished. On Sunday tried again at 17:00 and was back in service.  :banana: :banana: A bill reduction should be coming.

How does a 4 hour fix turn into a 46 hour fix?
