What is it about the bloody telcos. You want to spend money, but yet you
can't reach the right people to get your questions answered or schedule
the service.
Gah.
I experienced this recently, trying to have some inside wiring work done
at my house. They rolled a tech, but then he claimed he "wasn't
prepared" to do the work. What exactly was he prepared to do, on an
inside wiring call? It took multiple calls / disconnects to SBC to get
to the right dept and have a tech deployed who was actually prepared to
install the jack.
Do these places take courses on anti sustainability? It's amazing they
are still in business.
