Are you out in the sticks or in the city?
Eitherway that's a poor effort on their part... not that they care as money is still coming in.Right in Friendswood, a high income, high density part of the metro. Right off the I45 corridor of super high density between the two downtowns.
So, a comms black spot. You'll get no love there.

Have to work from T-Mobile 4G here in Houston as Comcast can barely load web pages here. It's ridiculous.
That rots... Comcast - as we well know from our experiences in Atlanta... just - rots.. and their customer services rots along side it...
Being in that area - do you have other practical options?

Well it's not my house, and they don't "use computers" here so they don't really care. And they get "stressed" if they find out that they get less than what they pay for, so we aren't allowed to talk about it. We just all switch to T-Mobile and deal with it.
I think AT&T is here and I think that they switched to Comcast because AT&T was so bad. Houston is not a demanding market, it seems to be a "happily take whatever is given to us" market. One that very much sees big business as being their guidance and protectors and just accepts whatever they are told.

Dealing with A Small Orange who sent us an invoice when we've not been a customer for over a year. And they can't even find the account that we supposedly have.

Small orange?

Terrible web hosting company out of Austin, TX. They were "okay" when we started using them. But their performance wasn't that great and the used cPanel which is more of a pain to deal with than just doing the web work manually. So we left them long ago (over a year.)
They had gotten bought out but some huge web hosting conglomerate and what little quality that they had when we first used them is gone. Now it's all off shore support and terrible hosting and clearly illegal slamming tactics to make a quick buck.

We just timed it, it takes eight minutes for them to receive emails internally! EIGHT MINUTES.
Who takes eight minutes for emails to go through in this day and age?

A little "please refer all future communications through our attorney" lights a fire under people.

it can be a tough gig working on 12/24 or 24/12. I've found it's either very very slow or a disaster occurs.
hope your day goes well. -
