Roadrunner is NOT so speedy.

This month i moved into a house around the UWM campus. We had our internet and cable installed a week ago thursday. Surprisingly, our internet worked for a maximum time of thirty mintues of the technician leaving. My roomates and i then went to check out the cable situation on the television. To our surprise, the cable was working. The only problem was when we turned the volume up our menu for the televison came on. Also, when we turned on the guide spanish subtitles came on. This was a problem. After being on hold with Time Warner for two hours, they checked our cable line and had someone come out to the house that next friday. After someone came out they installed our internet incorrectly and we had someone come out to the house yesterday to fix our internet "for good."

Needless to say, i am sitting here in the computer lab at the Union. Our internet still does not work. It's a terrible thing that the world we live in depends on technology so much. We rely on certain people (ahem Time Warner) to know what they are doing so that we can access our world. All i really want to do is check my facebook. :( AHAH no really, i do.

So, Time Warner if you are out there i have a bone to pick with you.
