Time Warner Cable is Starting to Piss Me Off.
No "outage" today. Exact same shitty connectivity. Too bad major storms can't roll through every day to cover up their fucking incompetence and monopolistic contempt for the consumer.

Out a-fucking-gain. Going to get a new modem to eliminate that as the problem source. After that, I'm going to put my foot through my phone and kick their ass.

Shitty customer satisfaction? Who cares? Our profits are up because you can't buy from anyone else.

Our cable started having issues last week, dropping in and out, mostly just a few minutes.
Checked the cable modem and levels were bad. Chatted with TWC, they reset my equipment:
Me: Internet still isn't working.
Her: Glad I could help, let us know if we can help in the future
Her: Click "Close Chat" to end this chat
Me: No, it isn't working.
Her: I'm glad to hear that.
Closed that chat, got a new person, who realized we had power level issues. Guy came out this morning, and was ACTUALLY ABLE TO FIX IT.
Amplifier outside the house had gone bad, he replaced it. Levels are awesome now.

It's not me, it's someone else.
Xfinity on demand is now broken. Fucking swear, I reinstalled windows 3.1 fewer times than I have to unplug xfinity hardware. Fuck Comcast and their bribes.

Comcast expands data caps. No, not the caps, the people hamstrung by them.

I hate the usage of the word "fairness" by telecomms, regarding data usage. If they were concerned about fairness they would discount a bunch of elderly people who only use 20mb a month for email on the same "unlimited" usage plan everybody else has. If it is "fair" to charge the heavy users extra, then it is certainly "fair" to kick back to the light users.

The only way around massive bandwidth usage is setting up Redbox-like kiosk network where people can go instead, and plug in a smart device, USB drive, or portable HDD/SSD, etc.
