"well thank you for the compliment"

[irishredlass]

If my calls were not monitored and my job not dependent on those scores that is the response I would have loved to have given one of my customers today.

He seriously told me that I should "go prostitute yourself on the street corner so your company can afford to provide me with High Speed Internet". 

I was actually quite flattered he thought I could bring in so much money. Though I am sure he was trying to find a polite way to call me a w****.

It sometime really baffles me how people can choose to live in a rural environment and then expect that they are entitled to the luxuries of urban society.  If you want HSI then move closer to town. It is not my fault you chose to live on 20 acres and have a mule.

OH GAWD dont tell me you work for big FLOO. LOL

At this point I'd tell him.....go to the cable company. How about going wireless data...

Some people are incredibly ignorant about basic communication technology.

Example...why DSL exisits at all. It is somewhat a modern miracle of Digital processing technology that you can get 3 meg out of a line designed to support 64Khz analog voice. Or 56K max on dialup....

You can live in urban areas and still get shit as a DSL rate! (I know)

Given the present government administration don't count on any company investing in the network until the regulatory direction is clear. Right now it's not clear.

No not big FLOO. I work for Centurytel. I would not be surprised if you have never heard of us, but then being in the industry you probably have.

If you are with FLOO then you know my pain though I do appreciate my company, they treat their employees very well.
