A happier country song, apparently..... But not the one with unicorn farts and rainbow kitties.

I'll live to see another holiday, I think. After New Years Day that is.

I'm getting a receipt when I turn in the equipment. And a photo of it sitting on the counter.

I'd recommend that, Grey....good idea.

I have a receipt which is hard to read, but when push comes to shove, I'm gonna shove it up their ass.

I've been gathering paperwork over the past couple of days. I had a receipt from Microcenter that's really hard to read at the top, and I made a copy of it on my printer. My printer was able to darken things a little...enough to pull up the date, time and customer rep.

Cam Scan is a pretty great app if you don't have it already.

Good luck with everything Grey. I hope it works, and you let us know how everything went.

I'll look into Cam Scan, thanks!

Thank you for the well-wishes, OBC. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

The "service professionals" that installed my new set up, took ALL of my old equipment that day. They need to look to their own crappy employees for router loss, not me.

Let me tell ya a DISH story. Years ago I had a second receiver for the camper. I would call and have it turned off every winter and turn it back on in the spring. I only paid like $20 for the 301 basic box and it was kind of fun to use. So one winter I did not turn it off and thought nothing of it.......

Next winter I go to turn it off and am told that it is not possible because the receiver belongs to DISH and only a receiver that I bought can be turned off. So I ask the rep if she sees where I had had the unit turned off and on before? Why yes, but the computer shows that it belongs to DISH. So how was I able to turn it off before if it belonged to you? [pick-me][Bang]

In the end the computer won and I told her to send the boxes so I could return both units and cancel my service.

Oh, I give a crap....most of us do, I think. The whole list of mods has been streamlined? Several names you used to see aren't there anymore. Marlins name isn't in any of the threads mods anymore. We knew Lobo was a made man now. I mean, I saw that almost instantly when is name went yellow. Is there something else I completely missed?

I hope he still remembers the little guys on his way up the ladder.. :D

Yeah, definitely shit list.

After going back and forth a few times, Comcast is definitely better than centrylink for internets. DirectTV is fantastic if you feel like spending $100+ on your TV every month. Comcast is pretty good if you feel like spending less than $50 for TV and Internet every month. When I move back to CA next year, I'll gladly be using Comcast for TV and Internet. We don't want much TV, but good internet is important to me.

We've had the exact opposite, here. When Comcast's internet is good, it's really really good- but when it's bad, it's horrid. They sent a tech out to test the signal, and he couldn't believe we were getting -anything- (much less TV and internet.) He ran all new cable, replaced all our equipment, fixed a bug that had been plaguing us since 2009 and it actually worked...for three weeks. Then internet began flaking again. On Demand flailed and choked every time we used it. We had to keep resetting the %$@# modem. And now, to add insult to injury, they've jacked up their prices. Time to clean house.

Bummer. With comcast, when I had their 50Mb package, I was getting exactly 50.0Mb all the time, 24/7. Maybe I was lucky. With centrylink, you share the connection with your neighbors, so when I get home from work, it is slowing than paint drying because everyone else also just got home from work and wants internet.

What is the difference between a moderator and a super moderator? And how/why is Lobo listed under both? [Dunno]

I noticed a few mods have 'retired' over the past few months.

I'm not sure what they did, but we haven't had that problem with Centurylink. Comcast was the one that bogs down when everyone's on the net at the same time.

Did you guys know there are articles and blogs and groups and all kinds of crap besides the forum? I've never really clicked around up at the top of the screen before.

Yep, not mine as well. I've seen all that crap before, but never really looked at it. I joined the long time lurker, part time poster group. There are no discussions.

Also, at some point, I made my wife mad and now my avatar has changed. I think that happened sometime today.
