FIOS is born
I am in posession of the FIOSes. Fastness. You can tell by how much more quickly you are able to read this.
I got the uber eXtreme HD package, complete with two multi-room DVRs (which means no more running to the bedroom and vice versa to watch shows)… as well as two regular boxes, and one other digital box with a guide for the guest bedroom… just in case brandifer wants to come live with me for another eleven (not twelve) days.
I totally annoyed the guy installing, since I am still keeping FraudStripe analog cable and the cable modem service (100% writeoff for all that shit now that it’s a backup). Normally they just piggyback on the existing wiring, but he had to put all new stuff in. sorry sucka.
but alas, I am sad. I miss the ease of the fraudstripe channel layout. 200s were movies, 400s were hd (although only like 40 channels).
now I have a quadrillion more channels (you have to put four digits in to change the channel!! geez), with no real rhyme or reason in how they’re set. Nearest I can figure is like 510s is the major networks, and then 800s to 900s are the smattering of HD channels. I think.
I am screwed though when it comes to email. For some reason none of my outgoing emails will work, not even the new verizon one. So I can receive shit all day, just not get back to anyone. I’m reduced to using the jasoncam gmail account if you’re important enough to get a reply.
Dbag installer couldn’t figure out my ADT either… so I lived in fear last night without an alarm, huddled and rocking in a corner. Thank you for not breaking into my house last night. Alarm issues were fixed today (at the rate of $150 first hour, $32 every 15 minutes thereafter)… and I even got a new code to type in. No more 1234 easy access here thieves!
and crap, I have to put in all my DVR recordings again. This is gonna take a while….
