Comment On "Epic iFail: AT&T and the Circular Phone Tree from Hell" From Kedar

hehe.. funny that you didn't go online to get this info Kevin!

I think Customer Service over the phone for every phone company is just the same. It is great as long as you don't get the same nasty experience that someone else somewhere has had already.

So it is just relative.. I would just say something like - XXX's Customer Service has been great TO ME SO FAR - to be accurate.

Welcome to the real south. Ask your mom about my BBQ sauce.
You'll adjust....just keep saying the beach is near, the beach is near. Now if you can only get there.

Who would have thought of having to deal with BBQ sauce issues when moving... especially to the south. I've never even heard of a bbq place that only has one type of sauce, and mustard-based? How odd.

That depends entirely on whether or not you were able to stop yourself from laughing when you saw said urination incident.

HA! Now I know why Al Gore invented the internet and on the second day he invented Google (so I could discover what rickrolling means)

Aunt Margie, I find that most places have both kinds of tea. :)

Yeah, I still like a Diet Dr. Pepper now and again but I am addicted to iced tea, unsweetened -- being in Savannah I'll bet it is hard to find unsweetened! :-)

I get a Venti black iced tea, unsweetened from Starbucks more times than I care to admit!

Love you!
Auntie M

I've actually found that I've gotten better customer service from AT&T (or, at least, the store from which I purchased my iPhone) than I ever got from VZW. Not only was I well taken care of on launch day, but the sales rep I worked with has actually answered my e-mails - and not with a form letter! But everyone's going to have a different experience, I guess.

That said, to your point Kev, in my experience there's no such thing as a 'good' phone company. I've been through the hold loop of doom with VZW on a number of occasions, my former roommate had nothing but problems with Sprint. And don't get me started on wireline utilities -when I moved into my condo about 5 years ago, it took no fewer than three visits from technicians and a dozen or so phone calls to Verizon to get my phone activated and to have another jack put in. Compared to those guys, AT&T is the shiny. (Again, YMMV.)

Comment On "The rental house" From Becky

Becky — 2008-08-04T00:01:20-05:00

That's the good thing about renting rather than buying right off the bat!
It probably depends on how long you plan on staying there. Now I know that I have to buy a house with re-sell-ablility as a factor, too.

This is why (well, okay, one reason) I just bought a new Blackberry. As much as I love the idea of owning an iPhone, I just won't give up Verizon Wireless' service and coverage. I've never had a (serious) complaint about what I've gotten from them.

That said, I'd love to have the option of owning an iPhone...

Hey Kevin, going directly to the store itself by car and asking them would probably have taken ten minutes, right ? Why did you use your phone ? Adopt a european point of view !!!-)

Tom and I visited a store last week in Tulsa just to check out their local coverage and phone prices since he'll also have to give back his work phone. We walked in and told them what we needed and the girl at the front had us take a number, telling us it will be a 5 minute wait. After waiting, a girl called our name and asked how she could help us. We told her we wanted to know about their phone packages and coverage. She handed us a brochure and pointed to it. AAAGGGH. What is with this company?

Comment On "Life in Ga" From Becky

Becky — 2008-07-31T12:55:45-05:00

Yes, I need to hear positive things about moving. Positive things are good! Sorry Kev is so busy. I was hoping he'd actually be less busy at some point like the usual honeymoon period you get when new jobs start, but I guess you do have to do your time and get up to speed fast when you start a big position like he's got.
