HRH Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 So a month ago I ditched cable internet and signed up with qwest for a dsl line. I talk to the guy who seemed cool (aren't all salesmen cool?) who says we'll waive the sign up fee and the modem fee since you're switching from cable, etc. etc. I get the bill today. Guess what's on it? Sign up fee, and a modem fee! :mad: In all, my first month bill totals $170.05. It was supposed to be 19.99/month for the first six months, then go to 29.99. Motherfucking BULL SHIT! Tried calling just now when I got home from work, and of course there's no one there now. Probably going to have to wait until Monday. I just want to get ahold of the fuckstick who set me up with all the "waived fees." He's probably laughing all the way to the bank. Going to have to raise some hell; I'm not paying this amount, just have to escalate it to someone who cares at the call center. I swear, I'm about this close to going to Netzero or something. The Internet costs too freaking much, and when it doesn't you still get fucked. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Netzero is only free for like 30 hours or less a month from what I remember? I used those hours less than a week. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 surf the Web free for 10 hours a month... I used those 10 hours when I need to make a emergency type of shit type of thing. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Man, that was a pretty week rant. I'd give it a 1.5/10, being generous. Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Yeah what happened to therealm? I'm gonna go start a thread to see if anyone knows... Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Haha, that's funny! :D I'm still cranky about my Internet costs. Sucks being in Bonners though. You can't get cable in Bonners Bill? I was bitching about paying $60/month with them, maybe I spoke too soon. Still, for what I was supposed to be getting, half that makes a big difference in monthly bills. Quote Link to comment

Still, for what I was supposed to be getting, half that makes a big difference in monthly bills. there is verizon dsl in bonners, I actually moved out to Moyie springs a few years ago its like 9 miles east of bonners towards montana. There is a huge canyon gorge that seperates us from town basically, and they only run basic utilities across it, just basic phone lines that wont handle dsl, and power. We have no cell service and have to use northern light for our electric power........so i am stuck with WB until Obama fixes everything Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 *Always* buy your own modem when you get internet service, they bone you on the cost of one... Also FCC is changing the limits on broadband speeds, to be considered broadband now they have to have 4mbit down and 1.5 upload, but hell 4 out of 5 people don't know their own speeds they are paying for. America NEEDS major changes in our basic infrastructure, from communications to public transport. Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Amen to that Foxy..............getting the royal screwing over of our most basic information needs has been a cornerstone of america for too long...........I basically pay 80 bux a month for Ratsun, porn and netflix............sad Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 haha $40 a month for phone and internet and confirmed 12.19mb/sec download speeds Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 You must have a close hub. The nearest cable hub for Spokane is in Libery Lake, so it's actually faster using the DSL at the same connection rate. Either way I was still having to pay 60/month, and that was too much. Qwest was going to be a lot cheaper, but I'll figure all that crap out Monday. Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 You guys suck..........................but I can do whatever I want out in the woods!!! I have 2 more 620 kingcabs to bring out to my impromptu datsun yard here!!!Couldn't easily get me to live in a city again anytime soon Quote Link to comment
