Hurricane Ida went through here the evening of Wednesday, September 1. Everything went out at 9:30 p.m. -- a tree fell and took down all the wires from the street to the house. Power company had me back up and running by 1:00 p.m. on Friday. As bad as they are, the telephone company had me back in business by the following Tuesday.
Cable Internet? The cable company blew me off again today. This makes the fourth "appointment" since hurricane Ida (September 1) that they have failed to keep. Last Wednesday I took off an entire day from work in order to be here when the "technician" arrived -- and nobody arrived, nobody called, nobody texted.
There has to be some other option -- but the telephone company isn't it.
