cornerofmadnessI could just about cry (embarrassing fact, I get teary when I get REALLY mad).
After talking to TWO AT&T people before the holidays who assured me I could get their phone service and DSL, today's rep says they don't come out here. I feel so betrayed. I don't even know what to say. I m ight call again tomorrow to see if I get a fourth story.
Earthlink only has satellite and from everyone I know who has had satellite internet has hated it (at least in this area) and it's 70$/month with a 2 year committment. If I'm still here in 2 years I had hoped to move into a house closer to town where I could get cable or DSL
Verizon...I'm going to talk to my neighbor tomorrow (I'm too spitting mad today) about how he still likes his broad band (also 60$). I got THREE different answers from Verizon on terms of service for this and none of them matched what J said he was paying/getting.
Also spoke to verizon about my phone bill. It has not been the same price for 6 months (once was a late charge) the rep was totally confused b y this himself. He has no idea WTF is going on (other than Verizon is one of the suckiest fucking things I've ever seen)
I don't know what to do. I'm not sure I could handle 70$ in phone PLUS 60/70 in internet (Hughes net is 80$). But it's getting to the point I might have to say goodbye to everyone and everything online. I don't want to do that. I live rurally. This is an outlet for me. On the other hand, it took me THREE damn hours this morning to answer 20 emails. I can't get a thing done.
Wonders if Verizon cuts a deal if i have broadband/phone with them
