I subscribe to the KISS method in all things possible... while at
the same time subscribing to saving money everywhere possible....
For that reason, I have Time Warner Cable which includes my digital
phone lines, and my high speed internet connection as well as the
idiot box...
It all comes in a bundle, in order to simplify and save money. Most of the time all is well and good except on days like today
when there is as they call it an "area outage".
What this translates to is no phone, no idiot box, no internet connection until they get it fixed....
With the things I needed to do today with the computer and the phone
it was most frustrating... I had to use my cell phone for 4 hours,
and as I write this post the internet connection has only been up
for about 7 minutes now....will it last... I does not know....
But again what are my options....can't afford AT&T phone service
when compared to 39.95 for cable with free long distance anywhere
in the US.... Dish T.V. has more problems than it solves... and
just to have high speed internet alone is most expensive so therefore
we have the BUNDLE....
Very soon I am sure, someone will offer to bundle my Garmin, my cable, my internet, my TV, my phone, my fax, my emergency weather radio,
and my lawn service in one package... then every time we have thunderstorms or solar flares I won't be able to do jack shit...........
