Author Topic: SBC Global DSL SUCKS! Christopher Meredith Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Jackson, MS, USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 06-28-2007 04:00 PM                        No one's mentioned them by name yet, but just in case anyone's considering cable internet from Comcast, please read about my recent experience with them. I think it's still the top article on my website. We just switched to AT&T and so far, have no complaints. For whatever that's worth...  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-28-2007 06:31 PM                  quote: Grand-Poopie-BAH Phil is too busy setting up his screening room to run out and buy one. And from another thread: quote: Cameron Glendinning Perhaps he is busy finishing off his screening room? I can't decide who's the bigger smartass!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-30-2007 05:39 PM                  After a full 7 weeks of horseshit, yesterday, the city came out with their underground service "metal detector type thingies" and located my utility feeds for the TV cable conduit, the SBC telco conduit, the city water pipe, the sewer pipe, the 240v service, and the 13,200v HV concrete conduit that runs down my street between the underground transformer vaults. All my utilities are underground. They spray-painted lovely color-coded arrows and comments/service names all along my street so as to inform the digging crew what was where. They haven't yet sent the gas company to locate the feed to my house. I'm hopeful that this spurt of action is an indicator of pending action from SBC/AT&T to resolve their shitty service. The only thing that concerns me is they located the SBC phone cable UNDER MY driveway. Hopefully they will NOT jack-hammer my concrete 20x20 driveway. Perhaps they will chose an alternate path under the flower bed. ...more to follow...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-30-2007 05:46 PM                     Meanwhile check out the LIVE WEBCAST BELOW of Phil's screening room as he continues work on it. Hmmm, maybe he is on the crapper right now. I'm sure he will be back in front of the camera in a few minutes.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-30-2007 05:53 PM                  Brad, little do you know. I've done some work on my booth/screening room since your last visit. For example: I've removed the can of RAID from the lamphouse...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-30-2007 07:21 PM                     Bug infestation???  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-01-2007 03:32 AM                  Nah... just used it to get rid of a few pests...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-01-2007 04:12 AM                     But it's been almost a year since I visited you last?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-01-2007 04:18 AM                  That's true...I guess the RAID pest repellent is working...  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 07-01-2007 04:33 AM                     The artist's rendering turned out to be quite accurate.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-01-2007 04:45 AM                  Yawn...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-01-2007 04:48 AM                     Umm, Phil it's .
