Meanwhile I had an IT guy think I was just being an idiot. He was so confident I hadn't checked something. Felt good when I showed him where it went wrong.

I have a dark secret. I used to have CenturyLink DSL around 5 years ago, and the tech asked me if I had restarted the modem during one of the many stints where I would get bits per second rather than the "10mbps" we were supposed to get

I lied every time. I'm sorry CenturyLink tech support employee, but man did CenturyLink suck, and man am I absolutely sure that it never fixed the issue.

At one point I filed a complaint with the FCC and got a letter from CenturyLink telling me that they knew about the complaint!

We know when you lie. We can see uptime stats.

IT Crowd was such a great show.

This also works on IT managers if you say “can we use AI to do that?”.
