Where have we been? Are internet has been going haywire lately.It would work sometimes in the morning and by the afternoon it would stop all together,Has been doing this for a week or so,I got Embarq coming out today to fix it:shrug01:I wish I could change providers but it would cost me about 250$ for broken my contract.They really stick it to you.:ack2::thumbsdown:
 
When I had that problem here, it turned out to be some sort of filters in the line up on the pole. When the sun would hit them during the early afternoon, they would heat up and fail. Once they were replaced, problem went away.

Welcome back:thumbsup:

As for the service termination, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!

Phone calls, personal meetings, visits, repairs, down time, everything!!

At some point, you'll be able to prove that they're not providing the service you're paying for. Although most internet contracts try to weasle out of that by using a disclaimer in ther contract, you'll usually prevail. It's not worth the bad publicity, potential class action (you're likely no alone in this) not the cost to defent themselves in court.

They'll usually allow you to get out of the contract with a month or less payment.

Hey Linda, glad to see that you have the puter back on line. That must mean that all of the boxes are unpacked that Robert has made at least two meals on the grill!

First meal tonight and I've got boxes inside of boxes and on top of boxes.....can someone please tell me where I packed my stationary? I need to send a letter (snail mail) and can't find my stationary :banghead:
Oh Rich...you and Joyce going to the Roger Dean show that Classy is talking about??

I have not said anything to Joyce yet (the boxes have taken over our lives), but I would like to go. I looked at the flyer on the club website and saw that it is a judged show :ack2:, but may try to make it anyway. Might break out the '69 and dust it off for the show.

Since you asked, I am assuming that you guys are going even with your house turmoil.

I tell them not to bother judging my vette...too many C5's there to even compete. Now, you may have a chance with the '69. And, I'm beginning to like the look of the boxes...I may just live out of them for the next few months. Then I won't have to pack again :thumbsup: We haven't talked about the show in awhile, but I'm sure he'll go. He'll probably take his pontiac so he can leave when he wants to.
