My realtor called me this week to remind me to switch over my utilities. A day later, I’ve got everything sorted out except garbage. Who needs garbage pickup!? I think I’ll burn and compost everything! YA, A+ for the environment.
CWLP - They get 5 (out of 5) Shooeys (or stars - its Shooeys here on Gotshoo) - I was greated right off the bat by a real person. Very nice. Phone call lasted ~6mins.
Ameren Cilco - 3 1/2 Shooeys - Have a voice automated system but short menus, the system hung up on me the first time, they were nice, however insisted on registering my cable, phone, and signing me up for other crap. Phone call lasted ~10mins.
InsightBB - 1 Shoo 1/2 Shoo (after I read this over again) - Voice automated, the operator insisted listing all the features of every package I could get. She asked how my broadband was going to be connected to my computer - either USB or ethernet (she couldn’t say ethernet). I told her that I would be connecting to a router, she then said it had to be ethernet or USB. Okay, ethernet (I made sure she understood the correct pronunciation). I then had to agree or say yes to the minimum requirements for broadband usage. Cd-rom drive? Uhh 128 megabytes of Ram? Ya? (I should have asked if 2 GIG was too much) What operating system? XP…. She had to go through all this after I had told her that I could setup my cable modem (which I own) up by myself.. Geesh. AND.. to get free installation I have to agree to take their digital box for 5$ a month charge. Its so I can accept more channels and pay them more cash whenever I feel like it. I think it has a credit card reader on the side!! Maybe I should look into DSL? Gah- but the difference in speed????
Phone call lasted ~16+ mins.
Sounds….uh….fun.
Wanna apt hunt in chicago instead? I’ll move your stuff….
In return that I move your stuff out? I think not! I moved in, and moved out a couch on those stairs before. Never again!
No, no, no…..I can handle the moving….I want someone to go FIND the place for me!
(besides, I make josh move stuff now, he’s way handier than ed!)
I have a lot of friends that work at Insight, but the SUCK. And I mean, SUCK!!!!! My parents moved into their new house in January and didn’t get cable/internet installed from Insight until MAY… That’s right. May. Flippin rediculous. I’ve never heard such words come out of my daddy’s mouth!
