Re: Suddenlink Telephone
Every time the power goes out here (frequently) I see SL roll two trucks to this street. It happened again yesterday because of a little rain. The electricity shouldn't be going out (underground / street wiring) but SL also shouldn't need to be sending trucks constantly either. I can only guess its phone related otherwise I doubt they'd be responding so hastily. I think trying to save a few bucks going that route would be tenuous at best. |

| I wouldn't count on that. We lost power a couple weeks ago to the entire city. We were out 2 full days. The first day SL's trucks were rolling all over town. The 2nd day they were sitting in a convenience store parking lot on the side of town that had restored power....
I jokingly asked the counter chick if they were leasing out space for a Field Office. She said she asked the guy if they were really busy because she was always seeing trucks around...
The guy says, "it's mostly advertisement. There's one guy that takes care of service calls while the other 2 of us just drive around town."
Granted, I'm a jaded bastage when it comes to this company, but even I thought that was a pretty smart tactic  Of course, it's all hearsay...the chick could have totally been making it up...standing 30ft from the guys. |
