Why you should pay bills on time....

My lady fudged up and didn't pay the phone bill. What ensued after was pure terror. The @ssholes @ the phone co shut off the phone and subsequently your DSL is shut off with disconnection. (DSL is ran threw other other twisted pair of wires in your phone system.) SO I yell n complain and make her pay the dang bill. Phone is brought back in 2 days but the DSL is still not on. SO i call the DSL co and we go back and forth about the length of time to get my DSL back up. First I was told 3 to 5 days. The next day I called again and now they are telling me 5 to 7 days. I was instantly steam and threw the phone. I regained my composure and caledl back. This time it was 7 to 10 business days. I was livid, acting like a child (At least I can admit it:tiphat:)throwing fits, arguing with my lady. Then I really thought about what I was going to miss for up to 2 weeks. ICMAG.... I called my phone company back and the DSL several times threatening to cancel service and obtain a new faster installing company (I was of course bluffing. I'm signed into a year contract) Smack dab in the middle of a show and I lose the best resource I ever had when it comes to this. It took like 4 or 5 days before me and this misses became civil again. I just couldn't help lashing out. Not to say I'm proud of this but it is what it is. I managed to go over my parents house and sneak a 3 to 4 min peak. The situation there wasn't ideal for that type of browsing so I quickly gave up. I managed to catch 5 min at a buddies house. ( I was trying to follow KB journey.) And I finally got my shit back on today. It was like a relief valve was purged and I am at one again. I been on for several hours reading thread after thread after thread while smoking down 2 blunts. It feel good to be back....................AND PAY YOUR FREAKIN BILLS!!!

7-10 business days for them to turn your DSL back on? That seems like a bit much.

I have Comcast cable, and I'm pretty frequently late on my bill.
I'm about one bill behind right now... It's $60 a month, I missed a month so I keep owing them $120 when the bill comes, so I pay $60, and the next bill comes and I owe $120 again and I pay another $60, and etc etc. :tongue:
I've only been behind enough for them to shut it off twice now (I think), and each time I go into the Comcast place, pay the bill, and it's back on by the time I get home.

I can't imagine why it would take 7-10 business days. :dunno:
