Apparently, MediaCON came for the "installation" to disconnect my cable tv today. Now, I get the Mexican Channel (14) and a bunch of upper level movie channels, but they did disconnect the other channels I had as I asked. :funn: They are nuts. Surely, they did all of this from the office and not the cable box at the street. If they disconnected it at the street, I wouldn't get any channels. Just goes to show you that they are full of crap when they say that they are scheduling appoints for the cable guy to come to your house.

When I worked in the Governor's office years ago, we had an office of Citizen Assistance and staffers in that office handled these kinds of issues. Not sure what the present situation is, but you can probably find a similar office on line...assuming you can ever get back online after this horrible experience.

and, it's Crist--no "h".

Headline: Christ visits Jerusalem

--The Jerusalem Post story was actually about Gov. Charlie Crist and is an error all too familiar with Florida newspapers.

(This story was in the Florida Trend enewletter Friday)

Thank you again Goodwitch58. Do you have a link to that story? I will go online and look for that division. Thank goodness for rental houses with unsecure wireless lines......

Currently, I am on the 27 minute wait with Embarq to find out where the PC Tech is that should be at my house any minute. I figured I should go ahead and get in "que" so I would be close to speaking with another human close to the end of the PC Tech wait period............ Will update later.......

I found an office of Citizen Services, do you think that would be the same thing?

I will either post or send you the link to the story. I think Citizen Services probably will do it.

When they buried the cable did they do it on YOUR property or in the neighbor's yard? And did they do it w/out destroying landscaping and cutting something else?

Their crappy service is legendary!

Sorry SJ, I misread and thought the phone cut out because your battery was dying!

For some reason customer service goes out the window when they have no competition and they're a big company...............must be some explanation for it :dunno:
The only reason they finally buried it was because our new lawn service was trying to weed whack around it every Tuesday. I explained to them that I had been told in one of my previous calls that this was a main cable to the entire Seacrest area, and it is now endangered by a weed whacker every Tuesday. :yikes:
