Subject: At some time between 1pm and 6pm....(delivery or service will arrive)

Written By: KKay on 09/21/09 at 12:15 pm

I'm sitting here waiting.  i'ts 1:15.  Now i'm going to watch the clock and wait for these guys to hook up my internet/phone.

It will happen some time between 1 and 6 and can take from 4 to 6 hours to finish.

Really?

The worst thing like this I had was being told a phone engineer would arrive between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

I took my daughter to nursery early so I could be home just after 8.  I waited in all day.  At about 5.45 I called them to see what the situation was because I had to go out to fetch my daughter from nursery again.  They said that there wasn't supposed to be an engineer calling at all!  I was supposed to test the various phone lines myself and then call them back if I needed an engineer to call.  >:(

They probably got stuck in traffic or something.

OK Kids....

they came at 2:30 and left at 4 something...not too shabby!

I tell you, when you call for something, it's terrifying - the length of time it will take and the first bill...installation, service charge, oxygen used, words spoken....

Two Sundays ago I was told a guy from Verizon would be there to fix the phone sometime between 2 and 5 pm.
It was opening day for the Eagles so I told my wife not to expect him anytime before 4. Sure enough, 15 minutes
after the Eagles game was over the phone tech arrived.
