It's a very pretty street. Such a shame it's so cluttered up with utility poles.🤪♥️

So that's why I feel like I'm getting beat up all the time. 😄

I know given how frustrating this must be for you that I shouldn't find this blog entry so entertaining, and yet...

Are you not entertained? 😆

I think we, or at least I, gave up on frustration a while ago.

I’ve got lost in counting the telephone posts 😆 this is brilliant. Could be comedy if it was not the tragedy of dealing with customer service!

We're aiming for the comedic here. Glad you can see it :-D.

I had a serious laugh (with you, not at you guys!)

It’s really mind-boggling how some simple issues take forever to get solved, like metro station works or…cabling.

Yes, I'm sure that digging massive tunnels for kilometers is simple 🤣. Thanks for following along!

Sorry to hear about your ongoing saga. Our experience in VRSA was the exact opposite. The technician arrived on time....pulled a cable from 2.5 blocks away. Voluntarily fished the cable through the pipe we had installed below the sidewalk and installed a box. He then installed my interior devices and gave me his personal number in case I ever had a Ptolemy. Small town vs big city? Who knows....

Wow! That's terrific! I'm so glad to hear that! I'd been wondering how it turned out in VRSA. I get the sense that technicians here are quite compartmentalized: I do this piece of the process and this piece only. If the infrastructure is not in place to support my piece, that's someone else's job to do. Maybe in VRSA everyone has a little more autonomy? Yeah, who knows ...
