@fuznutz04 Time to get FIBER!?! $$
Issues are with the carrier, not the medium. Comcast Fiber has the same problems as Comcast copper.
Yeah, I would be inclined to agree, but I have fiber at that location as well, just another person is using it. It is fine, and has been for years. Comcast cable in the area is terrible, but fiber seems rock solid.
Hah. I just got Comcast installed this morning, and I'm still setting up my router policies with the new setup. It's going to take me a bit, because both connections are known to be crap. Armstrong cable has minuscule data caps. Comcast service is known to not be great. So now I have 2 poor internet connections instead of 1.

Yeah, that's why I'm keeping the Armstrong connection as well. At least I can fall back to it while Comcast gets their **** together.

Just tried to watch TV and realized that there isn't a single thing that I felt like sitting through.
That's just how TV is and why we don't need it. I don't think we'll ever need more than Netflix/Disney+.
I have Netflix, Hulu, Prime and Disney+ (only because it's free) and still nothing I want to watch. So I just worked, that was more interesting. There's stuff I'd be willing to have on in the background, but nothing I want to pay attention to.
Started watching Locke And Key on Netflix. It has kept my interest more than most. If nothing, give that a shot.

Putting the finishing touches on a new router configuration for the shiny new fiber internet connection that Spectrum finished installing and activating today. Remote workers shouldn't have anything to complain about anymore, since this connection provides 5 times the upload bandwidth that we are used to.

More layoffs today. Looks like I need to start looking for a new job from the amount of downsizing they are doing.

Oh no, that sucks. You guys weren't that big before, were you?
-
nope we've been downsizing quite a bit but now we're getting pretty bare boned. I have a feeling the company's going to change focus to more healthcare related business and less on the phones side
-
really sucks to hear @jt1001001, we are opening back up in 2 weeks.. though we are a medical office.
That said, Nebraska is opening sit down restaurants May 4th for 50% tables, no sitting at the bar, bars remain closed, can't order drinks in a restaurant without food. Barbers and massage open same day.

Wow, I wish you the best of luck... maybe you'll find something you like better. Makes me thankful we are still operating at full capacity (remotely), taking on new customers, etc. Our company has no plans to be back in the office until at least June 1 or later, despite the idiocy of our governor.

If you can do that - one would/could, perhaps should - why would you ever go back?
I asked that of my boss - why bring these people back? Fire those that can't work from home, leave the rest and hire replacements.. then take that space and get rid of it, or turn it into more medical services space, make money from it instead of just an expense. These people don't NEED to be in the office.

Same question I've been pondering lately... I've had to go in every morning (just in case a power button needs to be pressed or whatever), but everyone else is doing fine from home. Well, I can't speak to whether or not they are actually doing their jobs from home, but I know they have the ability to do so.

We've lost some customers (that are no longer in business or whatever) but yeah, we are lucky that we keep bringing on more, too.

If you can do that, why did anyone ever go in?

Our customers are gub'ment offices (property tax assessors), so no loss of anything. We hit a new customer crunch time right as the quarantine was starting, and we've been onboarding our tails off.

No all jobs are for working for home and that is something people cant wrap around the idea...

This is one of our problems. Using FOP2 it's pretty clear we have at least one operator who doesn't seem to be doing their job while home.. skipping way to many phone calls.
