I'm already getting FLAK for NOT using the prevailing MSN on Qwest. Qwest farmed me out to a company called Pacnet. When they called me to setup my service, because I was not with MSN, I flamed the tech because the phone dropped my internet (2.4 GHz clash of signal) during a tech help session.
Qwest said nothing to me about who would be handling my services. I tried to repair the relationship, but their based in Singapore with no toll free support phone number...shades of things to come! Could be a Comcast in my future after all. P.S. F'ing Tweekers! You heard about the guy in Springfield that blew his legs off trying to empty a WWII Shell casing, recently. WSJ did a article about Public Art being stolen! I'm sick of them!
