Called Mediacom....*$&Q(*&$..(and a birthday later) .said "I have everything you have to offer, but phone".
*and everthing I had was NOT working*
gal said, "Well, Kingfishn, would you like to sigh(n) up for the phone service"?
(okay, she didn't say kingfishn)
"Well, if I had your phone service...I don't think we'd be talking now"
BUT, I do have an 'appointment' with them...think it's sometime between 6am on an equinox and 5pm....not sure...*maybe it's before noon*
