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.

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

The bar is quite low, which is not to say they're wrong

IT Crowd was such a great show.
