I just got an empty box delivered from Verizon. I’m not quite sure what to think. πŸ€”

@see_the_sus From Verizon? Sounds like par for the course to me.

@XaoslordErie Oddly enough, I've had pretty good luck with them over the past 11 years. My biggest complaint right now is that they don't have their 5G home internet here in ABQ. I had it in Indy and it was fantastic. I was ecstatic when I got to kick Comcast to the curb and now I'm forced back with those MF'rs.

@see_the_sus That's good if you have! In Portales, we had a Verizon store that was as useful as mammaries on a male pig ... and a old Navy shipmate of mine in Maryland has Verizon FIOS and loathes it, as it doesn't work much of the time. Here in Las Cruces, the place I am in now has Comcast, which I am not enamoured with, but it does work and the Wi-Fi signal is surprisingly decent. Given the choice, I'd as soon not use Comcast, but I am not the homeowner, so I'm stuck for the nonce.

@XaoslordErie "mammaries on a male pig!" πŸ˜‚

Comcast's signal was total shite in Indy. I would lose internet all the time and had to reboot the modem several times a week and when watching TV the streaming channels were constantly reloading. Or just crashing.

@see_the_sus I had exactly that same problem with Century Link in Portales. If the wind blew the wrong way, the signal was hosed. Maddening.

@XaoslordErie Century Link is damn near worse than Comcast. I have a close friend who has worked in telecommunications since the days Ma Bell. He was w/ Qwest when Century Link gobbled them up and he would talk about the stupidity that began almost immediately.

@see_the_sus I worked for GTE as a directory assistance operator just as they were transitioning to the Verizon name and man, that was a gagglefark if ever I saw one. But yeah, I loathe Century Link. More time spent down than up, almost.

@Jbart1055 My cats would be if it was just a weeee bit wider for them to get into! πŸ˜‚

@see_the_sus oh absolutely.
Just saw a video of my grandchildren sleighing in a box their new toilet came in.
They have sleds, toboggan, snow scooters but a cardboard box and a plastic sheet is the toy for the snow πŸ˜…

@Jbart1055 Now that sounds like a good blackmail video for when they go on their first date!
Father: β€œSo, you want to date my grandkid, eh? Did ya know they used a toilet box to sled in?”
πŸ˜‚

@see_the_sus LOL I like your style.
When they do goofy pictures (which is often thank goodness) I sat that goes in the Wedding slide pictures.

@Jbart1055 why thank ya! 😚
I have a rather odd dry sense of humour. πŸ€ͺ

@see_the_sus Black Friday isn't what it used to be πŸ˜‚

@see_the_sus Did someone take a SIM card that was being sent to you and forward on an empty box?

@Curiousfoolish No, the only conclusion I can think of is I called Verizon early last week to deal w/ them not having shut off my 5G home internet which I had had in Indiana but it's not available here in Albuquerque 😭 and they offered me something called an LTE Network Extender which supposedly enhances ones mobile phone connectivity at home. I have zero problems at home but it's free so I figured I'd check it out. It was delivered on Friday.

@see_the_sus

i think you might wanna look at t-mobile if it's in your area

$50/month - no data caps - it works from cell lower

@TeelaResists I have and sadly they don't have their 5G here either. πŸ˜–
