Yeah, they have fuckwit incompetents in a call center in India instead. And supply steaming turds of modems that can't even deliver anything even remotely like the 100/40 service you are paying for over wifi. > they do it much better with texts, emails, and instructions at every step > of the way. Hardly surprising given that they have been doing it for more than a decade now.
