I liked the phone system We had when I was in the Air Force,
We had these long wire things with a plug on the end.
When the light over the wire come on you pulled the wire out and plugged
it into a jack which in turn went to a phone..
When the light went out you unplugged the wire and put it back in its hole..
Damn thing worked every time..
No muss no fuss, no computer..... ;-)

Bob,
<br>
<br>
That barely holds a candle to Comcast and Verizon.
<br>
<br>
A small recent (Saturday) history on Verizon.
<br>
I have Ultra Call Forwarding on a local main prefix number that I
have had for over 28 years. I set this number to forward a
residential number at my house. If I have a problem with my phone
system or the lines are down at my house I can call a number and
have the number sent to my cell phone so it minimizes any downtime
for business calls.
<br>
<br>
I have a reason to switch the forwarding to another number (much
longer Comcast story. I dial the Verizon number for forwarding
and get a busy.
<br>
I wait about 5 minutes and try again. Same thing, then try one of
my land lines since I was using my cell and the busy. I then go
on line
<br>
to see if they may have changed the number. After about 20
minutes of
<br>
searching I find that I am using the right number. I call
Verizon,
<br>
and the final resolve(not as yet) the person said that she would
create a work ticket and the problem would be resolved by Monday
9/11/17.
<br>
<br>
"Are you kidding me!!! It's YOUR NUMBER!!! YOUR PROBLEM!!! I am
just reporting it to you!!!"
<br>
<br>
"Sorry sir, but that is what needs to be done. Is there anything
else I can help you with today. No, well thank you for using
Verizon"
<br>
<br>
It is a wonder why anything works these days.
<br>
<br>
The Comcast story is far to long to type but I think they may have
"Red Flagged" my account with the label of "Irate Customer". I
explained to the last guy that he was the second to do it right
out of 5 calls. That is a 40% success rate which is not good. He
agreed.
<br>
<br>
What is the world coming to these days. My problem is that I am
far too old and remember when things were done right because the
work ethic
<br>
was superior. Ok, nuff said...........................
<br>
<br>
Have a good rest of the week Bob.
<br>
