Dial Up and Now DSL
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2013 5:50 am
The people who know me know since I first started on here and on the old site,know that I have been using dial up for the internet.For yrs it has been a challenge where it would for no reason come up with the dreaded 691 code of user name-password not recognized on the domain.Each time it would take calls back and forth to Frontier phone aleast two hrs to unravel and sometimes a whole day.
Well I got controlled tick-off the last time.I do think it is Frontier's way of harassment of it's dial up users.For me each time it hurts to hold the phone against my ear for that long given my serious carpel-tunnel I have in both hands.Oh yeah-operation coming up 10/29/13.
So I get them on the line to tell them it has been a wk without the dial up and unless they do something for the yrs of issues,I'm going shopping for someone else.Read them the riot act.I force them to eat two months of bills.I pay every other month,it just easier to budget.Then a free Wi-Fi router and free install.Guess what??. Nope still didn't work!!!.Sooooo they send out a guy to "check" the line.He tells me there is no way it would ever work for DSL because the station for it too far away.Sure seems to me they don't know what the hell they are doing.Force them to run a whole new line from a mile away the next day.Still nada.Then finally the next day they fix what was wrong in the office.
So now I have a faster DSL.LOL actually I have become a speed junky.Got used to it and wonder if there is anything that is faster.......................
