Cable Outage
If your cable had an outage, would you call 911? A Connecticut police department wants people to know that missing your favorite show isn’t an emergency. There was a recent power outage which put the cable, phone services, and internet off the grid for several hours. During that time, people actually called the police department about it. How many of these dumb stories have you heard about where people decide that certain things warrant calling 911 because they feel that it is an emergency? I recently read that someone was prank calling the police department several times a day. I think that the cable dispute should be left up to those guys while the government has not gotten in the middle of it. It might have been a good thing though when the FCC decided that AT&T and T-Mobile should not merge. Any thoughts on your cable or phone service?

Loosing phone services with internet providers is a major pain, but reality to life.
ReplyDeleteIts a well known fact that using online phone services has the downfall of dropped calls,
ReplyDeleteI tend to use mobile applications for phone services and just got rid of cable and the land line. I saved a lot of money and do not miss them at all.
ReplyDeleteNow there is a phone service that lets you text 911. It should have been used before.
