A new leaf for cable companies

Tweet

I must say I'm rather impressed by the local cable company. Recently my internet stopped working (yeah, it really bit!) so I called the cable company. Usually they can refresh the signal from their end - it's something Ive had to do a number of times, but this time, that just didn't work. So they sent a service technician. I was cringing. Usually that means waiting all day and not having a clue of when they're going to show up. I was pleasantly surprised. Now the last time I had needed the internet serviced - the serviceman actually showed up the next day from when the appointment was scheduled. So I was expecting another such incident. But surprisingly enough, I got a text and an email ( which I could check on my phone) when the serviceman was 30 minutes away. Then he actually called when he was 10 minutes away. The problem was fixed in a timely fashion and the repairman was polite. I told him that I really enjoyed the fact that they had send the email and text, and the call was nice too, and he said that the company was trying to combat the stereotype of the tardy repairman. Well done! And seeing as I just wrote about Jim Carrey - I thought I would express my relife that my recent cable/internet repairman was nothing like Jim Carrey's character in this movie - anyone else remember Jim Carrey in "Cable Guy"? I really enjoy that movie, and I remember when it came out 22 years ago! Already. lol
