In the end, the bonus!

Gave me two residential amps for our 1000 feet or video drops, a 1000 foot
reel of video coax for the rest of my coax cabling and a big old box of
compression fittings.

Also a strange look and a question of "What the hell is all that coax on the

All good.  Salesman boy is history, though.  Will no longer deal with him.

[WISPA] FW: About to switch

2010-08-02 Thread Robert West
Oh, I just have to share my Time Warner drama.  Moved the office, gave them 
over 30 days’ notice to move our copper and fiber but still hasn’t happened.  
Imagine crawling under your neighbors deck at 7 AM , dragging coax, just to 
connect into their coax drop with no permission to do so just to get your 
phones and office internet to work.

 

The joy of being in business.

 

At least I didn’t get shot.

 

Our salesman is “Quite Angry”.  Right.

 

Read below.

I don't know how you keep your since of humor after all this. I am quite angry 
that this happened to one of my customers, especially a good customer such as 
yourself. Try and have a good evening as well.

Yes but over a month just to get an installer to show up for no more than half 
an hour is crazy.  We went live today and if I hadn’t of taken care of it 
myself we would have been dead in the water.  With the economy the way it is, 
we can ‘t take the risk of even one day with no one answering the phones.

 

Think about it.  Moving a business from a location where people are used to 
seeing you for over 7 years (We’ve been in business for 11 years) and then no 
answer on the phone?  Makes it look like we closed for good and THAT’S the 
unacceptable thing.  A sense of urgency and continuity.  I really don’t see 
that with our vendors, not just you.

 

I’m already stressed.  When we moved to our old location 7 years ago it went 
smooth.  This could have been a mess for the average business owner and a sure 
ending of their business.  We’re just lucky that we’ll risk breaking the law to 
make sure all systems are functional.

 

We shouldn’t have to dig out used coax and connectors, crawl under a neighbors 
deck and connect into their TW drop without asking at seven in the morning..

 

It’s not a personal thing, it’s about survival.  That’s what has made us 
winners and I’ll continue being outside that box regardless of the cost.  
Certainly there is a process over at TW that gets the install done and over.  
Just push that panic button and it’s all good.  To be contacted to “schedule” 
an install after 30 days is insulting.  We just aren’t that important.  That’s 
the way it looks.  

 

I really shouldn’t have to deal with it any more than I had to deal with moving 
the electric service.  Done and done.

 

I’ll be looking for boy tomorrow.  If he doesn’t show I’ll take the angle 
grinder to the lock on the TW box on the pole.   If arrested at least it will 
make good publicity!  (I’ll do it without a shirt, it makes for better TV)  HA!

 

Trust me, I’m crazy enough to call the cops myself so it makes a scene.  They 
are aware and in awe of my “I Don’t give a Shitness”.  Principal wins.

 

 

 

Still laughing.  Too tired to do otherwise.

 

 

Have a good night.  

 

Bob-

Honestly Robert I'm doing everything I can that's why they finally contacted 
you today. I'm trying to get them out their first thing tomorrow. Again I 
apologize. Don't give up on me yet!

John,

 

If the Time Warner installer boy doesn’t show up tomorrow I’m having the phones 
switched back to AT&T.  I just can’t deal with this crap.  In a business, the 
phones are number one but TW seems to have no sense of urgency even though we 
pay way more for phones than residential.  There is a price difference for a 
reason.  I have enough to deal with.

 

Sorry.
