I was living in an apartment complex last year and had the cable light service...
This is supposed to be on 24 hours a day. I experienced many many days of outage and calls to BH.
They were always trying to swap out the cable box... They have a huge pink form to sign when initial install is performed and money collected. TONS OF FINE PRINT...
Have you swapped it out? — it's like a brand new unit. It worked this morning why should the unit be bad... Oh... Lightning? (then it's working the next day)..
Well, in an apartment area, we technicians notice we cant supply enough bandwidth for the heavy useage...
They send a service man out who has to schedule with the landlord office to get the key to access the ports on the building... Comes out and replaces some cable jacks (apt. Had painted over some of them - bad connection) & this made it good for a few days. Then it rained again (as it does every day in the summer in Florida)... And it crapped out..
When they schedule an appoint they make it for a 4 hour window. So u gotta sit home all day hoping they come early but they usually come at the end of the window... Out-tage... Outage. Outage is still going...
So. The question is. Should you pay for land line cable that is unreliable or just get something else not as fast but at least is not controlled by the whims of the cable company...
Well sir, if u upgrade to business class we always respond to those within 4 hours... By then the business day is over 1!!!
