Re: It would be nice.
I havent gotten any freebies from my ISP either (Charter) but its all crap, so who cares? I dont need the virus and spyware stuff *because* I have a Mac, and the Music Match junk they offer is worthless.
As another user says, having a Mac prevents them from screwing up my computer the way they have screwed up some people's PCs. Oh, and when I call in, I dont tell them I have a Mac, because I either get the "we dont support Macs" or my computer is blamed for their network issues, automatically. |

Case in point:
Tech: What seems to be the problem?
Me: My DSL modem won't sync
Tech: What OS are you running?
Me: Does it matter?
Tech: Of course!
Me: OSX 10.4
Tech: That's why, DSL technology is incompatible with macintosh systems. Get a PC.
Me: No!

North Aurora, IL | I've had a similar conversation with Verizon DSL before. Once I stated that I was connecting with a Mac, they shunted me off to the one Mac support rep they had (with the additional hold time). |

said by McLovin  :Tech: That's why, DSL technology is incompatible with macintosh systems. Get a PC. Me: No! Given that new Macs can now run Windows, I'm surprised that such a response hasn't become commonplace for Mac users who complain about things not working for them.

You must've called on a bad day (not that this sort of thing can be planned, of course). Usually the mac people are the ones sitting around waiting for calls.
