And we did it with big smiles on our faces.
We’ve been wanting to get rid of Time Warner Cable for months now, but they were our only option for high speed internet, unless we wanted to pay an ungodly amount for satellite internet. I hated satellite TV, so there was no way we were doing that. So we’ve been stuck with them. I’ve called them so much in the past six months for internet outages, they’re in my speed dial on our land line.
No more.
I requested AT&T to e-mail me as soon as U-verse made it out in our area. We got the e-mail two weeks ago, and we scheduled the install immediately. Yesterday afternoon, I got the pleasure of calling Time Warner and firing them myself. It felt sooooo good.
I’m only on day two of U-verse, and so far I like it. I really like the fact that I can record one TV show and watch another. I also like that I can watch recorded TV on either TV in the house. Shawn wants to watch NCIS? No problem. I’ll go in the bedroom to watch my recorded episode of How I Met Your Mother. Of course this won’t help when I want to play video games, but eh, oh well.
Oh and I’m proud to report that I haven’t had a single outage once in the last two days or needed to reset the modem. That may not seem like anything to brag about, but I had to reset TWC’s modem on average once a day. It was ridiculous, and on some days, impossible to work from home. I hope that the fiber optic system is far more reliable. If it’s not, well, I guess we’re just screwed. But at least now we have options.
