Why CenturyLink Sucks: CenturyLink Sucks | Stay Away From CenturyLink

I’ll keep this post short & sweet...As a Internet Service Provider...CenturyLink SUCKS!

I know living in small town can have its drawbacks, but from my point of view, if a ISP..specifically CENTURYLINK, can service this area and wishes to bill the customers who use said service, than am I wrong to assume that whenever I wish to access the internet, which I’m paying a mighty price to do, I should be able to do so 24/7 and when I can’t, I should be compensated for the price I’m paying, even when beyond a shadow of a doubt, the technical issues that are not allowing that 24/7 experience to take place are NOT MY DOING?

Why is it when I go to use my phone, no matter what day/time it is, I’m able to successfully make a phone call without issue?

Why is it when I go to turn on my TV, no matter what day/time it is, I’m able to watch TV without issue?

Yet, when I want to get online and actually do some work...seeing as I work from home...that my internet just doesn’t seem to want to stay ‘on’ between the hours of 8am to 11am...3pm to 6pm...and 10pm to 2am...!

Why is it when I go to call CenturyLink Technical Support, they always say the “issue” is on my end...

* Faulty wiring outside the house!
* Faulty modem
* Faulty wiring within the walls of my apartment!
* Or my favorite..I have the modem and phone line coming out of the same wall jack with NO FILTER!

WTF?

All I want is someone to say is..

”I’m sorry Mr. Customer of the last 3 years...but unfortunately, even though we service your area, you live so far out in the fucking boondocks, that by the time the main feed out of Spokane hits your area, everyone and their mother is online either watching porn, playing World of WarCraft, or farming like a mad-man during the Great Depression that not everyone can have a consistent, reliable, always ‘on’...24/7 internet connection!”

That’s all I’m looking for!

But no!

It’s always the same bull-shit run-around....”have you cleared your cookies?” “Have you rebooted your modem?” “Do you have your modem and primary home phone on the same phone jack?”...are you kidding me?

And why is it I always talk to the same fricking ID-10-T when I call support, regardless of what time I call? Holly shit batman, do you ever go home?

For $75 dollars a month, you better give me 24/7 internet, otherwise, bill for the actual time your company can provide a consistent connection..much like cable companies should be allowing us to pay for the channels we ACTUALLY WATCH!

For all the sh** I’ve heard about how bad Comcast support is..I can tell you this...I CAN’T WAIT TO DROP CENTURYLINK AND BECOME A COMCAST CUSTOMER!

As a former customer of Comcast, I always had a 24/7 internet connection and rarely ever had to call support!

So in closing...these past 3 years and the sh**ty service I’ve received from CenturyLink and the ridiculous ‘support’ I’ve received and the countless hours I’ve wasted w/their technical support AND billing departments....trying to get this ordeal corrected and my plan adjusted to no avail...is why CENTURYLINK SUCKS...they suck so bad, I wouldn’t wish their service on my worst enemy!

Yahoo Answers Sucks: Why I Hate Yahoo Answers and Why Yahoo Answers SUCKS!

I don’t know what it is w/the ID-10-T’s who run Yahoo! Answers...but quite frankly I’m tired of wasting my time trying to be ‘nice’ and answer questions with nothing but FACTS, just to have some meaningless Yahoo Answer troll come along and report my post...time and time again...which is why I now proudly say Yahoo! Answers SUCKS!...

 

How can the Yahoo! Answers community guidelines clearly state the following:

“...Share what you know ~ Yahoo! Answers is built on the collective knowledge of people like you. Chances are, someone needs your knowledge, opinions, or personal experiences, so share what you know!”

So, apparently they don’t like it when people post FACTS...about WHAT THEY KNOW...and are willing to share that wisdom with others, even though others ASK the questions we have the answers to!

I’m tired of wasting my time answering questions on Yahoo! Answers, just to have some ‘minion’ who doesn’t like the fact that I’m not pushing an affiliate link or have some ‘hidden agenda’ when I make a factual based comment to an open question come along and report my post as somehow going against the T.O.S...and then having to spend extra time in my reply email to the under-paid staff member who happens upon my reply over at Yahoo send me some canned auto-reply...which is what is always used...how do I know?

I used to work for Yahoo back in the day, so I know what a ‘canned response’ looks like.

This being said, I would suggest highly that people who really want to help others via Yahoo Answers....stop using the service, simply because there’s no way to ensure that your answer will EVER BE SEEN!

What’s My Motivation: What’s My Purpose In Life

I’ll admit it, sometimes I really do stop and think out loud...”What’s my purpose in life?”

Why am I here?

I have no special talent! I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth! I can’t throw a football 50 yards! I can’t hit a golf ball 400 yards or throw a baseball 90 miles an hour!

And yet, I still manage to get my sorry ass up and out of bed everyday and for what? Really, what’s out there for me right now that’s so appealing, that something ‘moves me’ to such a point, that I find the strength to hit the off button on the alarm clock on my night stand?

Everyday it’s the same boring ass routine and quite frankly, I’m beginning to wonder what’s my motivation? What plan does God really have for me?

Ok! I know I did some things in my youth that I’m not proud of...but hasn’t the last 20+ years been enough ‘punishment’...or is there another 10 or so years left until I’m forgiven?

I don’t know...life just sorta ‘sucks’ right now!

And yes...I know...I’m the only one that change it...but sometimes, I ask myself...’what’s my motivation?’

Why should I try? Every time I try something new or different, my attention span just goes ‘kaa-poof’...out the door within a few days! I can’t stay focused and all I want to do is just crawl into bed and say ‘fuck it’...I’m done!

But I know I can’t...because in the back of my mind, I know that if I just keep getting up every day, I’m bound to finally find that ‘ah moment’...the one that’s going to light a fire up under my ass and set me onto the path that I’m supposed to be on at this point in my life!

It sucks having to wait all these years...but for now, it’ll have to do...
