in response to imallears, re Spectrum:
Initially, we signed up for their triple play service, but the important thing first was to have phone, as we have no cell reception in our very rural location. It took two months and four different phone numbers before we had stable phone service. Then, I worked on internet, and, seven different service people later, it worked and has worked well for the past six years. Finally, months after we moved here, we tried setting up the TV, but it was one problem after another. We learned not to call for service, however, when one of the guys drove a one-ton Ford van (smaller than our extended, taller Club Wagon) up our long driveway. When he got ready to leave (still not having solved the reception problems), he was positive he didn't have room to turn around, although I assured him that I did it all the time with the larger rig. So, he backed down the driveway...until he got to the lowest place, the culvert across our creek. Afraid to back across the culvert, he tried to turn around, resulting in the van being high centered crosswise across the driveway, with the front wheels hanging over the water. We had to exit until a special tow truck arrived to winch the Charter van out! I think that service is very poor here because it's basically the only game in town.

Oh good grief and I thought Florida drivers were bad. Should have told him to get a Mini Cooper. I had a Spectrum guy here once who wouldn’t leave until he solved the problem we were having (2 connected homes with same service). He walked around both houses and inspected the connections inside and out....spent so much time here that it was getting kind of creepy. You could see the wheels turning in his mind. But problem solved and he ended up drilling a small hole near my landline and putting in a new modem and explained everything. He was interested in my Captel captioned phone which is connected by an Ethernet cable. Made sure my phone and TV were working. So I guess we do have the better service.

Sometimes I feel I want to move to a farm and raise goats where the word Internet doesn’t exist.

Stay safe
