Our cable service was down all day Monday. What a bummer. No internet, no TV. So, on Tuesday, I called them.

When I was talking to the service rep, he noted that I did not have Comcast telephone service and that for 39.95 a month I could get unlimited local and long distance plus caller ID. I pointed out to him that if I also had their phone service, I wouldn’t be talking to him now since that too would be down. “Oh” was his reply.

He said that they couldn’t get anyone out there until Thursday but  he would check.  An hour later, the Comcast truck went down the street and my cable service was quickly restored. I really needed to use the internet before our up coming trip.
