Time Warner Cabal

Dear Time Warner Cable,

You must, at this point, realize you are a monopoly and your service is terrible. I would love to take my business elsewhere, but I don’t know how and I am afraid of the price. Did you realize that internet connectivity is almost a necessity at this point? Like electricity it runs a great deal of the things in my life. It keeps me connected, it helps me find work and it helps me DO work and that is very very important to me.

Mr. Warner Cable, my internet has been down for sometime. When I asked you to come fix it, you said you couldn’t until Friday. When I told you that was unacceptable, you said you could send some one out that day. Which you did not. When I called you back to tell you I needed to leave my apartment after fruitlessly waiting for you, you said you had called. Which you did not. You said that you called to tell me that my issue was part of an outage and it was fixed. Which it was not, nor did you call.

I’ve been wondering if I will see any reduction in my bill this month, but probably not. That’s not how it works with you. I have to pay for service whether I get it or not. Apparently, you do not believe in capitalism. You know, money in exchange for goods and/or services, that old chestnut.

In conclusion, Time. Can I call you Time? I don’t know why I’m writing this letter to my blog, maybe it’s the rush of excitement from having my internet back. I should be writing to your main office. I need you to know that you stink and you stink at your job and since I have no interest in paying the set-up fee for Verizon-whatever-it’s-called, I’m stuck with you and all I can do is sit here waiting for a technician to come between the hours of 10 and 2 so I can tell them my internet is working and they have to go look at my poor neighbor’s cable and internet, because they have jobs and cannot sit in their apartment waiting, god-knows how long for some yutz to come ask if they’ve refreshed the router. Guess what? We have. Over and over and over again.

Sincerely,
Aaron (who promises to write more comical blog posts soon. I mean, I do have a new picture of me in a toga)
