Re: Hope Virgin Media isn't blowing smoke

Look, I'm not going to sit here and argue with someone that obviously has no experience in this matter especially after being told already.

But, you're obviously someone that only sees cable lines as "internet" based on your last post. However, the "line" itself, in which *I* was talking about in my post that you responded to IS regulated by franchise authorities. And, having worked in more franchises that you've probably subscribed, and working with the FA directly in compliance, I will be more than happy to, one last time, tell you that there is in fact rules on how you can and can not take down a customer's service based on emergency or non-emergency reasons.

Further, TV is "entertainment" and it, as I stated above, IS regulated and controlled to some degree by the franchise.

I am tempted to end this with an invite to explain how you can physically down down internet with out affecting the video or other services, but really, I have no time to argue with you or invite back further nonsense.

I've stated my credentials.. you're just shooting in the wind as far as I can see. But, you're more than welcome to think what EVER you want if it makes you happy.

I don't care to argue with you either (especially since your "qualifications" consist thus far of knowing what a franchise authority is and claiming to know they work, at least in theory). Nor am I interested in an over-simplified condescending lecture on ... well really, on anything you claim to be an expert on. Which apparently is pretty much everything.

I'm also up to speed on the differences between television and cable internet service, as well as how they interoperate, thanks very much (it isn't rocket science and no, you aren't really that mysterious or even special because you know too).

On that happy note, enjoy your weekend everyone!

I'm with fiberguy on this one. The cable/DSL/FIBER companies cover their own ass first and foremost. They don't have to tell you sh!t. If they are a decent company they will, or at least let you know what the disconnect was for after the fact.
But they don't want legal troubles just because they fealt like disconnecting (or a act of God) (or an act of dumb man)
:P

peace,
out.

While you sit here and try to tell someone that has over 15 years experience.. what qualifies you? Unless you care to divulge that, you're blowing hot air and trolling. If you don't know my qualifications, by now, then you're obvious blind and don't read much here... especially when it really is no one business but people work over time to make a point of it.. get it?!

Enough said.

We had some of the strongest ordinances and franchise language in Iowa, and I used to use Montgomery County as an example of ways we could strengthen our ordinances.

You are a tool.

Just sayin'.
