There's an issue where I live.
We have 2 options for Internet Service Providers (ISP):
- Charter, which wants an exorbitant amount of money per month and a 3 year contract
- Frontier, which has inexpensive month-to-month rates but SUCKS BALLS!
We have Frontier because a 3 year contract is impossible seeing as we will likely be moving in the near future.
however...
So... I'll be Steeming along, doing my thing, trying to hustle and build a network. When suddenly... things stop working. I see the little spinny wheel on all of my tabs. My YouTube video is interrupted.
So I open up Facebook to check if the connection is really dead (which is the only thing I seem to use Facebook for anymore, lets face it).
And THIS!
I HATE this.
I hate that little paper with the folded edge and the frowny face.
I hate that little dinosaur thing.
I HATE HAVING TO RESET MY MODEM 5 TIMES EVERY DAMN DAY!
That's not even a joke: I've reset the thing 4 times already today and it's not even noon yet. :(
What does Frontier say?
I have called them before.
I've been on their chat box, telling them what's wrong.
The usual response?
This is a known issue and we're in the process of fixing it.
LIES!
Ugh!
Do you have any similar horror stories about terrible ISPs?
Honestly, it almost makes me feel like a prisoner in my own house, because my livelihood is dependent on the Internet, and the Internet has become a utility in modern life almost as important as water or or roads.
Tell me what you think below.
