This thing goes offline every single day multiple times a day. This is something new. They used to almost never go offline even for one second. It’s like their service has completely gone down the toilet. Anyone else experiencing the same crap?
Thing is, this is what is called a market failure. There’s really nowhere to go. There are no alternatives around here. You can go to Comcast cable, but then you have to spend a fortune on new equipment and I have heard nothing but horrible things about Comcast.
So your choice is Shit Phone Company or Diabolical Cable Company from Hell. Yeah that’s some choice.
I am thinking that the phone companies and the cable companies are both acting like they have monopolies. Once a company turns into a monopoly its service goes into the toilet. Why fix things? Why speed up the Net? Why fix our Net so it doesn’t go offline anymore? Give us a reason why we should fix it? We don’t feel like fixing it because our customers have nowhere to go.
I think these phone and cable companies both ought to be run as publicly regulated monopolies the same way PG & E power is here in California. Phone and cable are natural monopolies. Natural monopolies must be regulated by the people or they will run berserk and abuse everyone.
