Re: Why?
You know......... there are notices all over this forum about "hijacking someone else's thread". Why do people insist on either calling someone a liar in their own thread, or posting info that has NOTHING to do with the topic? No one else anywhere knows what is happening in my home, or what I am capable of doing. Nor do I care what type of service others have in other areas, or the quality of those services....... it is NOT pertinent to this thread. If you dont believe what I post, then do everyone a favor and keep your thoughts to yourself. They have no positive affect here, and are doing nothing but pissing me off. |

| Wow...if you're getting pissed off about a thread, then you need to relax. It's just a message board.
You made a statement, I countered it. That's not hijacking a thread, even if you don't like it.
I don't believe anyone called you a liar, nor did anyone say that what you said was happening wasn't. It was simply stated that getting mad and threatening to sue probably isn't the way to go.
Sorry you took offense to that.
Anyway, take a deep breath. It's only DSL!

1 edit | "People who threaten to sue publicly almost never follow through...just one of those things."
That pretty much calls someone a liar, and was an unnecessary and stupid comment to make, whether YOU liked it or not.
"Keep in mind that while your service was bad, there are others that are doing great."
Again.... irrelevant. I never said CT had NO happy customers ANYWHERE. The above two posts were merely your opinion and had no purpose in this thread.
I hate to tell you, but countering a statement with issues that are irrelevant to the OP while sporting your own issues/opinions is EXACTLY what hijacking a thread IS!
I made a statement talking about my negatives issues and how I was going to handle it... whether YOU liked it or not. Evidently you didnt like what I said, hence you felt the need to make the response you did. You have the right to have your opinions........ posting them here......again... serves NO positive purpose. I didnt ask for your help or opinion, I merely posted an update to MY situation.
Sorry you cant understand these concepts. |

Also I said cheap because compare the price of your DSL service to a guaranteed service like a T-1 line. Even a factional T-1 will cost you hundreds a month.
EDIT: And also I really do feel where you are coming from with your anger, there have been times where I could hardly get 200/240 from my 1.5 line. Then when I was switched to 10 MB and got speeds around 5000/768 only to be put back on 1.5 because my RT didn't have the bandwidth. Yes I understand why it happened and I'm ok with it but I was still angry, however if you're not happy then go with a different provider because I don't see this holding up in any court. |

Again... statements that have NOTHING to do with MY issue, and shouldnt be here. Comparing the cost of residential DSL to a dedicated T1 etc... is stupid and pointless and doesnt belong here. I NEVER made ANY comment about not being guaranteed 1.5mb/sec for 24/7. Any statement or comparison I made was to residential service from others that actually WORKS! If you wanted to make a LEGITIMATE comparison, then you should have compared it to the 312k-1.5mb package that a LOT of people I know, purchased from AT&Y/Yahoo DSL. They dont guarantee any sustained speed, only that your speed will fall somewhere into the 312k-1.5mb range. And guess what? Since they dont guarantee any sustained speed, the plan is only $14.99/month! And no, that is not an introductory offer either. Now look at the crappy service CT offers their customers for 3 times the price..... yeah, Id say my service is VERY expensive! If youre going to make comparisons, at LEAST have the courtesy to compare apples to apples.
"however if you're not happy then go with a different provider because I don't see this holding up in any court"
Did I ask for you opinion on if I should change providers? If you knew as much as you claim to, you'd know that in most areas where CT offers service, they HAVE no competition. They know it and use it to their advantage. Did I ask your opinion on the chances of something like this holding up in court? Again....... stupid statements that werent needed.
Im not a stupid person, and Im tired of reading comments from people n here that address posters like they are just exactly that....... stupid. They are a handful of people here that feel the need to reply to damn near every post that is made. It makes for a sad picture for CT with all the hollow excuses and stupid statements. This is just one more of those times. This issue was through. Fuffer had even apologized. But no, you just HAD to throw YOUR 2 cents worth in, didnt you? Its no wonder people dont come to this board looking for help like they used to. |

So the "legitimate and sensible" option of CT actually giving their customers what they pay for isnt an option? Thats hilarious, and again, reflects bad on CT. And unless you work for CT and have looked into my personal information, how would you know exactly where I am and what my options are? This just cracks me up! |

Jesus H Christ...... is ANYONE here capable of staying on topic? It like dealing with politicians... lie, deny, and deflect. Just because YOU choose to pay full price for something that doesnt work..... thats YOUR business...... start your own damn topic with it and sing their praises. Just because its better than dial up......... Im supposed to just shut up and let a company screw me over? Just because its "better than dialup"? How is the fact that it is better than dial up an issue here? Did you ever see me state that it wasnt?
it amazes me that someone can post useless drivel, yet when I ask questions, they get ignored and even more drivel is posted.
Do me a favor and do not post in this thread anymore unless you can contribute something positive. |

Ok...so if you don't want ANYONE posting ANYTHING other than "CenturyTel sucks sue them for everything they got" then why post your little rant in a FORUM anyway? If you want someone to complain with you should have posted this on a blog somewhere not on a forum where people give their opinions and advice. I'm starting to believe this isn't a CenturyTel problem but a customer that can never be pleased.

gee........ lets see....... there were several posts made by people that were off topic, accusatory... you name it, and the posts were allowed to stay. I have been basically called a liar and a fraud, but yet those posts stayed also. So by DSL Reports own rules on flaming and hijacking threads, these posts should have been deleted, but werent. But when I get tired of hearing it and stand up for myself, I get my post deleted? Thats nice..... nothing biased there at all.... no, not at all. Mods deleting the negative posts about someone or the company, but allowing the fanboys to say what they want? This site is sad. |

Re: Why?
I don't know what's sad you figure that out.If your language gets better i'm sure your posts will stay here as well so think about it as your flaming and name calling don't help you a bit.And NOW if your problem has a solution then lets just end this topic. |

| Not advertising, but appreciation for CenturyTel's customers and its employees. Sorry you see it as advertising and hijacking a thread...a thread that has long since been off topic. You had an issue, that issue was resolved. I say, "What's next?"
I will gladly remove my post and start my own thread.
Have a great weekend! |

1 edit | I noticed (and expected) how you avoided the issue that still remains and was listed more than once in this thread... about how CenturyTel over sold their own pipe and just kept on selling accounts hey couldnt supply the bandwidth for. About how they never even acknowledged this or even attempted to fix the situation till it got to where after a couple years so may of their customers (here and all over the U.S.) complained so much they had to do something. So the issues are NOT resolved, but it doesnt surprise me that a CenturyTel employee is so quick to close it out and say it is.
it is also no surprise to me that you have evidently by your own statement, been keeping an eye on this thread, but waited until now to say something. Go figure.
Say what you want, what you posted (and since moved) was an ad to make your company look good. If it was merely for appreciation and your concern for the customer the way you say, you could have IM'd me instead of making that long, off topic post for everyone to see. Thanks for proving my point. |
