Besides this link do you know how I can find these regularly. I NEED to be at one that covers spectrum internet so I can bitch about it.

More like it takes 2-4 hours for DNS to resolve on Spectrum broadband.

I don't see how its misguided to have a social worker working with a police officer who is dispatched to the scene of someone having a mental breakdown. While I agree we need more beds for the mentally unwell, there is nothing wrong with having someone properly trained in dealing with this population instead of relying on untrained police officers to respond to these types of calls.

Just a few weeks ago I had to have one of my clients sectioned and the cops who showed up were immediately... hmmm not aggressive but not kind in their approach and ended up setting the guy off even more. If I wasn't there to intervene it could have been worse, but instead I asked the person to go back into their apt and asked the cops to let me handle the talking, which they were more than happy to do. Eventually the person calmed down and came out and we all joked around while waiting for the ambulance.

I lived in Worcester for 40 years and never had a job there, always commuted. That’s how.

Care to explain?

Worcester's ten-year license with Charter/Spectrum is set to expire in October. There have been/will be many public meetings to determine whether/what terms the city should renew for another ten years.

The next set of meetings focuses on local community media programming and takes place in April. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/worcester-focus-groups

Because you know what WalMart needs? Even more trashy people drinking nips and/or beer in the parking lot before driving off.

Hamilton st , Lake Ave , plantation st - busy roads with quieter side streets / neighborhoods, close to shrewsbury st

totally residential (5 minutes to downtown/shrewsbury st area ) massasoit rd / blithewood Ave. This is sometimes referred to as the Broadmeadow Brook neighborhood in real estate listings. (There’s an Audubon Sanctuary with that name in the area)

You should at least hear them out as to what type of problem it is. Like the other person said, it could be that they know about something that will be an issue in future.

How so? Was always thinking it was a quieter place.

They commute, mostly.

There's some cheap housing in Worcester, but it's swallowed up pretty quick.

Yep. I would love to live there but that would mean living in squalor while not being able to save a penny.

I haven’t had to wait long the couple of times I went to The Webster Square plaza location

Many of those positions go to students & teens (i.e., people who don't have tons of work experience). They're still in school, maybe living with their parents. If you've been in the workforce for many years, you're too over-qualified for an entry level position. You'd be applying for a more senior role which comes with more pay. In theory anyway...

But in reality:

• Roommates, partner/spouse's income, live with parents/family.
• Multiple jobs.
• Live in a cheaper neighborhood like Vernon Hill or Clark as opposed to West Tatnuck. Or leave the city and commute. Whatever it takes.
• Look into government assistance like Section 8, EBT/WIC, etc. The threshold for a lot of these things can be surprisingly high especially if you have kids.

Yeah, I was in Boston for quite some time but the rents were pretty up there. Still high! Not gonna pay 2500 for a studio

I’m from Thompson, born in Putnam and I second this completely

Pretty much me rn. Still refuse to move to Boston though even if the morning traffic drives me insane

I could not believe the wait just to return equipment. When I went they made a big announcement that anybody trying to return equipment should just go to UPS because it would be faster. Like are we serious

This is poorly worded or I’m slow. Are these clinicians and case workers riding along with the police to the scene of emergency? If so I hope these people get trained for self defense and can handle if things get out of control for the worse.

Having roommates or living with relatives or partner/spouse.

Same story as many a telecom: Only reasonable option available in some places, thus they've a mostly captive market.

I haven't had a truly decent ISP since I first moved to the US. Seattle's Wave was wonderful, but it was also the only option for my building.

With roommates.

I’ve only heard bad things about Spectrum, what’s the reason people keep them in business?

There’s a lot of communities surrounding Worcester where the rent is lower.
