My PCP did that test last time, and didn't find anything weird.

Well, they have to know what to test for to find it, really. So that can be hard. And with it so intermittent I'm having trouble even thinking of likely candidates. I assume they tested everything you ate that day before it started, but if it's something in the air I don't know how to track it down.

Yeah, but apparently that doesn't stop Comcast from billing you for it anyway according to their help forums.

It took me months to get Comcast to stop billing me for their modem, even though I'd had one of the technicians set my own modem and router up. I didn't really need him to set them up for me, I just wanted it on their records that he'd done it and taken theirs away with him. That documentation finally got them to refund me eight months of charges and take the charge off my bill.

Comcast is my only real choice; satellite and DSL from the phone company are too slow for my requirements. So I have to deal. They haven't been too bad, typical mega-corporation, the worst was when construction workers down the street literally cut my cable and I had to go to social media to get someone to come fix it.

Naturally Comcast doesn't have any appointment slots available for the days that are convenient for me. Of course they don't.

Of course they don't!

If you read Ask A Manager, or even if you don't, you should read this heartwarming update: [link]

Comcast does not charge me a rental fee for my own modem. But I think it helped that I took it back to them and made a point of returning it.

I was told there wouldn't be a hook up fee because I had my own modem. Bit I got charged a smaller amount. I forget what they called it but similarly worded and I told them I owned my modem they didn't set it up. Bit its some sort of transfer of services fee. Basically I paid them to turn my services on.

OMG I PULLED UP SAME TIME AS UPS I HAVE SHOOOOOOOOESSSSSSSS,!!

Why no, I'm not sniffling. At all. Thanks, Jesse.

I hate Comcast so much that I went with CenturyLink DSL. It's not as good, but I consistently get 25 mbps down and 2 up, so it suffices. Also helps I'm 800 ft from the CO.

Yay, sarameg! Way to go, Monday!

-t, backflung. Thank you so much!

Today has been oh so fun with Jack barking any time the installers twitch. We have had him outside, inside, with treats, with lots of attention, with no attention and he is just on high alert. He is like a cranky toddler without a nap at this point.

Tomorrow is doggie day care.

I scheduled internet installation for next Thursday. One more thing off the To Do list. I keep looking at moving checklists because I assume that I must be forgetting something. Am I ruthlessly efficient, or am I kidding myself? I guess we'll find out!

I vote ruthlessly efficient!

I also vote "I worked crazy hard last week and fuck all this noise, I'm stopping work at 3PM". For today at least. Unless I get urgent emails. Or a call.
