It's been up and down for 2 or 3 hours now.
I checked with friends here in Sosua, same problem.
Of course, the brainless wonders who answer your calls at Verizon, are so detached from reality and under qualified, that they are more concerned with telling me how I will have to pay for the techie to come to my house, if they discover it's my equipment at fault, and not their problem, that they forget to bother to do their job, which would be TO FIX THE DAMN THING.
As I spoke to the unhelpful pea brain at Verizon, I walked over to the internet café next door, and handed the dude the phone, so that he could tell him his internet was slow too, but somehow this info reached his ears, but not his cerebrum, as he continues to ask me to unplug this and that, and switch this and that, etc.
I'm convinced that it is a prerequisite to have lower intelligence than your average squirrel, to get to be a Verizon operator.
To make matters worse, they insult my intelligence by playing their stupid math game with me, by telling me that the problem will be attended to within "48 horas laborables"..
What does that mean?
48 working hours.
What does that truly mean?
40 working hours in a week, and I placed the call late on a Friday afternoon, so it could be fixed, 2 Mondays from now, or at least, that's when the technician should show up.
They are incompetents of the highest order.
