Phone and Interent down

September 12th, 2007 at 03:32 pm

In the process of switching to a new home phone provider it seems I've lost both my phone and internet services. As I'm one of the last in the civilized world without a cell phone this leaves me with way to contact my 75 year old father or to get in touch with emergency services should I need them.

Lots of fruitless calls to the "customer care" centre. They should call it the "holds and plattitudes centre" as they do more of that than helping.

A supervisor is looking into it today for me.

I've told her I'm not impressed by the "seamless transition" their promotional material promised.

    I suggest getting an old cell phone from a friend and powering it up. In that state, you can use it as a 911 access, without paying for service. I kept one in the car until my place of work assigned me a cell phone.

    I share your concern for your father. This is the kind of thing that drives me right up the wall.
