Whew, all done…

The guys came yesterday morning around 10:30 and said they were finished with a job and could they get started early.  In my best Mae West imitation, I said come on in boys!

Seriously, these were two of the nicest young men.  They were extremely courteous.  I enjoyed talking to them as they were working and they fixed everything just as I requested.  I now have a corded phone in addition to my cordless ones.  Some information is not really safe to give out over a cordless phone.

Jonathan and Zach were very professional.  Note the booties on Jonathan’s feet.  Those booties were put on each time they came in the house and taken off when they went outdoors.  They were very careful to clean up as they went along.  This is a local company out of Peoria.  Now if I want customer service it will be a local call and hopefully they will all be able to speak English.  PLUS, and this is a biggie for me, service calls are free unless they are coming to install something new in your home.  Comcast charged for every time they put a foot in your door.  I am still cringing from the poor customer service I got from Comcast last week.

I have two boxes of stuff to return to Comcast this morning and I will be leaving soon to do that.  I hope you all have a great day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

  8. What gentleman coming in with booties and being so kind. I love that they let you take pictures for your blog. We have a great local company here to but sadly my street is on the wrong side and they don't go that far. they keep saying they will make it to us but that has been 8 years of that promise .. lol. Oh how I would love ppl who could speak English so it would avoid frustration on both of our parts.

  12. Ah! You've LEFT Comcast! I hadn't really understood. We have just switched from Comcast (after 5 years) and their "triple play" plan. We now have Verizon Wireless, and no workman had to come to the house at all. We also have a phone with a cord. We were tired of paying rental on that modem each month! It really adds up!

  13. Good for you changing companies like that. That's what we all should do if the customer service or service is poor. I hope your new company is everything they said it would be.

  15. I have had only ONE workman come into our house and put booties on. I called him all the time for repairs and was very sad when he went out of business! Hope you're enjoying your new phones.
