I'm not here to really stir anything up, and I don't have Gig or the issue that he's talking about. What I've had issues with in the past is Not getting explanations from the people that come to the service calls like the one you just gave. If, say, the person that comes to the house is possibly more knowledgeable than that of the person they are helping wouldn't that be helpful.
I had a Tech come to my house on a service call and he literally told me that Speedtest.net when it goes over 100mbps it cycles AROUND and basically starts over. so at the time it was showing 20 mbps. And this was one of the tech supervisors trying to feed me this line of Poo.
I guess my whole point is if they would just stop assuming that everyone they are dealing with is a person that is 90 years old and hasn't worked with anything more modern than a tty-76 Teletyperwriter for communications then it would probably work out much better for everyone.
