(And when I just posted this, all paragraph breaks disappeared, it stuck in all kinds of codes which I am not taking the time to go edit-- and it entered as one long unreadable mess. Nice day I'm having.
FIXED..you have to allow javascript to eight 3rd sites for message entering to work right.)
I upgraded internet one level to 20 MB. I still consistently measure out at 15.xx to 16.xx, with a RARE (maybe one in 10 over 2 days) in the 18.xx.
On support calls multiple times, and what a disaster one, well two, of those calls were...routed to escalation, who said the case number I was given was still a basic number--they wouldn't talk to me (&quot;you can't just call into escalation&quot<img src="http://cdn.satguys.us/images/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" smilieid="4" class="inlineimg" />. That was after getting put there on transfer by my SECOND 40 minute call into regular level because the first guy (who gave me an invalid ticket number) dumped me while transferring to escalation.
By the way, at the transfer-to-escalation point, after getting dumped the first time, I told the 2nd one (after the second 40 minutes of hold--and telling them I was not going to go through, as they wanted to do, ANOTHER 40 min of the same troubleshooting the FIRST idiot had done)--that I didn't want to get dumped again, and have to do all this a 3rd time. He said, no problem, he'd stay on the line. He didn't--he dialed the escalation team and disappeared off the line...I go into a standard wait for the next person queue for a LONG time. Again.
With escalation team (after about 4 minutes of looking at his data, &quot;everything looks fine; don't know why speed is low; trade in your modem.&quot;
Did that. No change. Incidentally, in other calls, if a happenstance measurement hits 18+, they say &quot;80% meets the standard. Bye.&quot; Oh, one of the techs kept saying &quot;I often get 22-23.&quot; Helpful.
Working with BHN or Roadrunner or whoever it is is just such a pleasure. And so easily getting what you pay for-- that's just a wonderful thing.
You can probably detect my opinion of this circumstance. I'm tired. I'm mad. And I don't want to be on hold any more. I'll just stay p***** and take the _______ being delivered to me so effectively. Fighting any more is harder than laying down.

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.
You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.
