Down here in the Seventh District we have the worst phones in the world , I think.
Mine goes out every time it rains. The repairman comes out and fixes it till the next rain. I just love spending a half hour talking to the computer at the verizon office. Try to find a human there sometime. Press one for Spanish, have you tried hooking a phone to the gray box? We are running a check on it , yes ,its bad, will you be home sometime next month so our man can stop by? Most times it dries out in 3 or 4 days and is working when the guy shows up. I keep wondering why they cant make the thing waterproof. A good heavy dew will put me out of connection. The dial up on my computer truly sucks because of noise in the line. On and on it goes.
Well they have us, its not like we can take our business elsewhere.
