Ok if your reading this you have some sort of internet connection . I started with dial up in 1996 yea good old AOL . In 2003 I got Hugh's satellite internet .As I write this I am still using Hughs net . Now don't laff but I can only download at 100 kps and max allowed a day is 250 Mbytes . Last month my nabor had a Uverse tuck in his drive. So I asked the installer what he was doing ? I got a weird look and he said installing internet at my Nabors .What speed will it clock at his house I inquired his reply was 12 to 15 megs a second. Hmm I got online and check my address. Hmmm NOT AVALIBLE ! ! so back over I go and ask is his line on that junction pole yep sure was mine is to can you check my address sure . Well you have the same speed available. Can I get connected ,you have to call and schedule it but it on the pole . I thank him go in an call ATT finally get a person and get told its not available . Now hold on is it available at ____ and _____ or _____ ? yes sir. All those addresses and mine come off the same pole and box why cant I get it? NOT IN THE COMPUTER , That call got me nowhere the next 2 ended the same. I have 3 ATT wireless connections showing on my Wi Fi (all password protected}and them telling me I cant get it.
Last week I called got bumped around then I found a lady that went the extra mile got her boss to override the computer and now I move into the twentieth century on the 19th .She said on a box rated for 24 lines and 6 with service already it was silly not to change the computer .
I am looking forward to the new service I may finally be able to watch you tube and other stuff without having to nurse my daily allotment. Now if you live in the middle of nowhere Hugh's net is a good alternative but here I can do better for less 52 vs. 60 a month.
Tomorrow I will tell you my adventure with ending my Hugh's net service. LOL
Glad to hear it! Hope everything on both ends goes smoothly.
