I hated t-storms, as the cable could be out for two days if the storm happened on a Friday night. Dish is better than cable on that count... I've never lost service in over a year's time.<br />Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-36441926378848380252012-11-28T10:27:57.436-07:002012-11-28T10:27:57.436-07:00We sometimes have problems with Comcast, but do ge...We sometimes have problems with Comcast, but do get them resolved.

My wife the RN recently booked a Motel/Hotel for a business meeting with other RNs thru Expedia via Kayak but failed to note that it was a non-refundable holiday special. (On her, live & learn--but expensive lesson, damnit) When one of the key speakers couldn't make it and my wife attempted to get them to simply re-apply the amt to a different day in the same week Expedia refused., claiming they were helpless as those were the conditions of that particular Hotel. When she contacted the place directly they told her that, sorry, they'd love to but those were Expedia's rules, not theirs. and Expedia controlled the internet credit-card booking process. (If she had but booked direct, sigh) "But they told me it was <i>your</i> conditions, my wife exclaimed. "I know," the reservation gal replied with an exasperated, resigned tone, "Unfortunately they lie all the time--they ALL do."<br /><br />When do the bomb-making classes start, Buck? virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11491836830352263438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-85681918914796191242012-11-27T12:00:10.515-07:002012-11-27T12:00:10.515-07:00Sigh.
