Just a friendly reminder that TMobile Home Internet is now available in Worcester, and you could theoretically avoid ever dealing with Spectrum again.

Say what you will of TMobile - my home internet experience has been a massive step up from the terrible service provided by Spectrum. Had it about 8 months now.

You're gonna be pretty disappointed in just about any local government meeting you attend, in that case. Nonsectarian prayers are extremely common. Given the historical importance of the Black Church in the Civil Rights Movement and Black movements more generally, there is going to be a religious voice in the movement for police reform for a long time.

If you want to turn this into a business w/ insurance/pet cpr & first aid certification, etc. Happy to chat about it anytime. I had my own business for 6 years till the pandemic hit, and we have a Pet Care Professionals of Massachusetts group on Facebook for networking and referral sharing.

If you listen to folks who have other services, it's a pretty universal experience across internet/cable providers. That's not a defense of Spectrum, they've been shit forever, but they're all pretty much like this. It's kind of luck of the draw with how busy a branch is and who is working.

I once spent several phone calls and visits to their Higgins St location when they were still Charter and they all told me I couldn't get what I wanted. Then I tried one last time and got the one guy who knew what he was doing and he had me settled in five minutes.

Oh my god. PTSD from that store. I had to wait 5 hours to get a wireless router that they had forgotten to send me. I then get my next bill and the dude who gave me the wireless router decided to help his sales number and added the most expensive cable package to my account. I had to call, prove to them that I never purchased or agreed to the cable package and get it removed.

This was all because they forgot to send me a fucking router. I’ve really never experienced anything like it before
