Comcastic

Not only does my internet work now, it’s really, really fast.

It turns out there are two lines strung down the alley, and they were testing the wrong one. (I was, of course, hooked up to the bad one they didn’t check.)

Hooray!

Congratulations, Susie.

Clearly your luck is changing, and I fully expect
that you will soon land a great job, the congressional
Democrats will grow a spine, we’ll be out of Eye-rak
in 4 months, all crooked voting mechanisms will be
corrected, half the Bush administation will be indicted
and convicted, Dubya and Cheney will be impeached,
and the Phillies will win the World Series.

I knew my Shatneresque bellowing would do the trick. Wish the neighbors hadn’t called the cops, though…

Looks like your Comcast installation was a victem of installers too lazy to find the right cable.

In the phone biz they used to call those old lines “Retired In Place”. Every time the phone system changes, new wires go in, because it’s too much work to find both ends of a particular wire. There’s nothing like the spaghetti of old phone wires in the ceiling of an office building. There’s probably a business to go around behind the phone installers and recycle the old copper.

ps: I know you will get an appropriate job. Maybe Josh will find the need for a Philly office.
