My experience with ADCO has given me some appreciation of what people go through for business development purposes, so I had to smile at a pitch I received yesterday.
For a brief time, our Internet service was down at the office. I was told that it was a regional problem, affecting central South Carolina and a swath on up to Charlotte. So, in frustration, I tweeted (via phone):
Misery is supposed to love company, but I’m still not enjoying this widespread Time Warner Cable Internet outage…

To which I got this response almost right away:
You shouldn’t have to pay for their mistakes @BradWarthen. Does this happen often?

By the time I read that reply, the outage was over. I was barely inconvenienced long enough to send out my complaint.
But I admired the hustle on the part of the DirectTV guy…

Last night our uVerse also was wonky, lost TV signal for a while and the internet was slow-to-absent. Hmm. Could Time Warner and AT&T be in a conspiracy for world domination, or at least joining forces to take over the Midlands?
Oh, oops, I’m on Brad Warthen’s blog, not FITSnews, wrong place for elaborate conspiracy theories.
