And to also be fair, he has Frontier DSL so it actually very well may suck.

To be fair he did actually call Charter before he built the house, and they told him service was available... unlike a lot of people who will just build or buy a house out in the middle of nowhere and then be completely shocked when cable isn't available. What bothers me here is the fact that he does have DSL - and 3/1 really isn't that bad... I have 4m/512k DSL at home (outside of our coverage area), and there are very few things that don't work perfectly fine.

Imagine you are a technically stupid dufus who just spent a wad of money on a house after spending ages picking the right property and design and being promised their internet would be there only to move in and have crap.. Of course you'd complain and try to point blame at others for not doing the research. Also could think it was false advertising and trusting the ISP. You and I would have researched it a little more but the average public will not think of such things. They'll think of the color of their tile floors, and countertops before they'll think of internet connection. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Howard" <ja...@litewire.net<mailto:ja...@litewire.net>> To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Sent: Thursday, October 1, 2015 10:55:34 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Any of you guys service this guy in the news? I can confidently say from past experience with this type of customer that we do not want him. Yes it would be great to get some PR, but this customer will be nothing but a problem. He will constantly complain about anything and everything and will jump ship at the very first opportunity that he can switch to something with a lower price per month. Notice he holds up his Charter ad with $29.99 per month displayed. It doesn't matter that he would have to pay $117k to get that price (and also pay for 2 other services with a total bill of $100-250 per month), he will complain constantly that the price is higher than $29.99. It never fails that the ones that beg the loudest and convince you to go out of your way for them ALWAYS come back to bite you and are the loudest complainers about everything.

Rise above the douchebaggery and focus on the issue. We want to be the hero. Collect the rewards of making WISPs as viable alternatives in these situations.
