In theory, my DSL service is activated as of today.

In theory, I've had basic phone service at my apartment since last Monday.

In practice I have no dial tone.

Verizon insists that everything is fine up to the point where it enters the apartment. The maintenance guys claim there are no problems inside the apartment.

Kill kill kill.

On the other hand I had an extraordinarily good and busy weekend, and got to spend time with both uilos and nixve.

huh. I had that same experience with Verizon and dsl... BACK IN 2000! and at the time i consoled myself that they'd work it all out & that really it was about having just merged and been rebranded as Verizon... I do remember that they eventually found a solution but it took me most of a couple months. :(

"Among the many domain names recently registered by Verizon Domain Services LLC include: verizonsucks.com, verizonsucks.net, verizonsucks.org, verizonblows.com, verizonwirelessbites.net, verizonwirelesssucks.org . . . While this may be viewed as a means of stifling criticism, given Verizon's level of customer service they may simply be preparing to roll out a new product initiative." --seen on Faisal's quote file, circa 2001

I've got a guy from Verizon coming to look at the line on Monday morning. We'll see if he finds anything. And if the problem is inside the apartment I am bloody well billing it to the rental company.

obviously there is a "communication problem." A failure to communicate, if you will.

As I observed recently to Michael O'Brien, I am going to become a very wealthy man after I invent a device that allows me to STAB PEOPLE OVER THE INTERNET.

(Also and unrelatedly, hug.)
