My quest to find broadband internet service continues. I tire of crawling along the www at 28.8kbps speed, due to these junky phone lines. Be it DSL or Cable, I don't care, and make it quick. There's only so much torture a man can take. . .

I called Adelphia yesterday and asked them for service. They said that they'd send a technician to survey my residence and get back to me within 10 days. I had heard this before, seeing as how I called them two months ago. Within a few days a woman had left a message on my answering machine saying I was essentially screwed- that the company refused to cross over the hill to my house from the other side of the street. This is something like a 1000ft or so. Not much in my opinion, but a deal breaker in their minds.

I called their competitor a few months a ago too, Cebridge. If the reports on the 'net are to be believed, these guys run their company like a room full of monkeys high on acid and alcohol. I don't care. If these people can get me out of dial-up hell I will put up with anything. When I get jaded by the broadband experience, THEN I can start bitching about service issues. Cebridge basically said, we don't service you. Try Adelphia.

The bottom line is, I will bug both of these companies until I get satisfaction. Anything less would be a disservice to me and low bandwidth sufferers everywhere. Broadband or death!
