One bourbon, one scotch, and one mav

Expounding on Buddha’s comment. God, does CableOne ever suck. I came home after work (GAAAAAAAAH!) yesterday evening, expecting to spend a while hanging out on the Internet and watching Angel and fuck, I can’t even do that. The ‘net is so fucking slow that pages are loading like 56K, and so I end up spending the evening watching Angel and lamenting the choices of this week, including but not limited to why the fuck I ever stuck with CableOne when they have treated me so horribly over the last year.

I spent all day today up at my grandparents’ house, which is just about enough drama for this week. Then I come home and find out that holy fucking shit, CableOne has managed somehow to suck MORE. And yet somehow, it’s still working. Barely. I can’t send any email, since Cableone’s SMTP seems to be down, and connections to my webhost’s secure SMTP seem to be timing out. Probably more of their ‘intelligent’ network filtering. They were acting wonky before this whole thing went down.

I suppose this is what I should expect from a company who has refused on four seperate occasions to replace the drop to the computer room in my house. I have told them before that I thought it was the drop that was causing my cable connections to reset, but after four seperate visits, they still refuse to replace it. It was actually easier to put the cable modem in another room with a different cable drop and run a huge-ass lan cable to my router. This is the kind of quality service I’ve come to expect from the cocksuckers at CableOne.

So anyway, I guess I’m going to have to look into DSL. I enjoy contacting Qwest about as much as I enjoy hammering nails through my nutsack, but at this point, anything’s better than Cableone.

Even 56K.
