Hospital for kids!

You can get cheaper slower speeds, but idk if it is really worth switching. $50month for 200mb. $80 for 500. They have fine print about your modem rental/purchase and free install for the $80 and $100, but idk why you couldn’t just change your speed to the cheapest one after getting the “free” install… and avoid the bs.

The just buried the stuff this month in my area for a start date in April. Att also sent letters that fiber was available soon as well.

My promo rate with att ended and they said they could get me a cheaper rate (not as good as the promo), but had to have a new line buried to the house from the box. Still don’t know how that makes since

To clarify for all the blue collar workers offended in the comments. They are slow and bad at every construction project. Look at grant avenue over a month behind schedule and some interesting reports about the businesses being ruined by it. Downtown is weeks behind schedule is started in mid December was supposed to be 90 days. It was just extended until the summer.

Also they are months behind schedule so there is that.

Sammy’s Window is a great org for this.

Harmony House is another fantastic org that could use them.

Crosslines could be a good option too.

Honestly thought about it. For 3 months I have never seen them do more then a small amount of work in a day.

Man maybe if they stand around so much it would be an awesome job. Maybe you should go work with them and get paid to stand around, and then report back to Reddit and tell us how awesome it is standing around all the time

If they are new in package wish I may would be a great option - they provide birthdays for kiddos… I was unaware they became a part of the council of churches as they used to be secular… but still a great mission https://ccozarks.org/programs/wish-i-may/

Or Sammy’s Window for foster families https://www.fosteradopt.org/family-support/sammys-window-clothing-closet/

Absolute garbage, they pulled the same crap on me. I guess why invest in your own infrastructure when you can make the customer pay for it instead. AT&T buried fiber up to my house at no cost, so I'm glad I held out. Especially if they're already raising prices.

OMG were all doomed.

It’s rude to insult your wife so heinously by comparing her to this woman.

Headstart or the mercy kids hospital might a good place to check maybe even Ronald McDonald house

OP complaining about wasting their taxpayer money. Meanwhile, they just received a state tax return. That's mighty Karen of you.

I’m all for taking guns out of the hands of the cops.

That's not what I asked. You could simply have answered instead of seething

Lol you think they are doing nothing? I'd recommend you try to learn a bit more about their job.

You have safety observers who's job it is to stand around and watch for anything that can hurt someone and stop it from doing so. You have the site engineer who's job it is to stand around and make adjustments as needed to the design and documentation. You have the job site supervisor who's job it is to manage the people on site and make sure that the rules and regulations are followed. You have apprentices who's job it is to watch and learn what they are expected to do and lend a hand when told to do so under the watchful eyes of more senior workers. You have specialists who's job it is to be on standby until it is time to do their specific piece of work. You would not expect excavation specialists to be able to do plumbing, or electrical work, or gas pipes?

There are specializations that each worker has. Just as you would not ask a roofer to wire up a house or a framer to plumb it, so to there are specialization in these types of jobs as well.

It is cheaper and quicker to keep them on site so that when their specific part of the work is needed it can be done right then and not have to call them and stop everything for an hour or two while they get there.

Answer please

I don't need to be in anything to be able to spot bullshit. Construction is one of the most corrupt and wasteful industries ever.

Literally unimportant when I can look outside and constantly see them doing nothing. Hell I wasn't even able to park at my own home for weeks because of them.

And what is your profession/area of expertise?

LOL wtf?! This sounds like me and my wife arguing about shit.

Lol, get down there and tell them how to do their job then. I hate seeing people getting paid to not work like they're sentenced to 40 years in a hard labor camp.

Yes, taking turns digging. You expect them to dig for 8 hours straight without stopping? Or take breaks with no one to tag in and get half as much done?

You know what? I don't care what your answer is. Entitlement at it's max. Piss off

Yeah especially when half the day they do nothing

Yeah so I looked up that project. Stormwater infrastructure improvements, utility work including GAS line relocations... Among other things.

So yeah, done by hand for a lot of it.

It's gonna take a while, that's quite the project.
