In finding this site today, I'm throughly astonished and amazed.
But it's just another day in paradise.

In 2006, I had a technical issue not unlike this one. They came out twice within a month. A third visit came from the burned modem. The modem always ran hot as the third tech could smell. The second tech wasn't very pleasant, but the third tech was really cool about it. He made it seem like the problem was common and put a few filters on the line. With a clean, fast, & continuous connection, I've had no complaints since.

Unfortunately, this type of situation is all too common among the corporate model.
If a customer's needs don't meet the boardroom's prescription, they'll feel the pain.
We're living in an age where farmers can be sued because their fields were pollinated by a GMO crop. In nature, organisms do as they will. So our farmers where kind enough to buy the round-up, but they didn't purchase the round-up ready seeds.

Reversing discontent isn't quite as easy for those who don't want tainted crops [or business models].

Got a fortune cookie today. It said, "Do not mistake temptation for opportunity."
