Yup, no more beans for him. or brocolli.



We had a similar problem, we had our cable turned back on about a month ago. It was on a wednesday, and I work from home on thursdays. Being a programmer, i need an internet connection. Well, once the cable came on, channels 2 through 11 were almost unwatchable, and we had no internet. I said, lets give it til tomorrow after some troubleshooting, basically because the cable company was closed by then.

So i called the company (if you live in the US and find out that the cable provider for an area is Metrocast, DONT MOVE THERE) and tell them i had just had it set up, and the lower channels were a mess and we had no internet, could they send someone to take a look at it.

They said sure, sometime today....

fine.

So i sit around waiting, until 2 in the damn afternoon after I called the company 2 more times. at that point, i am 6 hours late getting started on work. The guy shows up to tell me that the filter they attached out at the street was old, and that channel 2 wasnt coming in properly, and that is the channel that the internet runs on. it took him 2 minutes to fix it.... but they made me wait all godamn day for it. I ended up having to work until 11 that night....


however, the cable guy looked like Robert Englund with no teeth.
