Cable is the Pits

Well lately our cable service has been the pits. Last night was about the 4th time that our cable has gone off completely during the evening and has been off until morning. But this time the cable guy had been here and said he had solved the problem.... Yeah right!! About a half hour after he left guess what? You guessed it the cable went off again. So we figured no problem we will call them back and have him come back to the house and fix it right this time. But no.... they tried to tell us that they could send him out on Sunday. Well after much arguments and name calling they finally said they would call us back in 1 to 3 hours to set an appointment for today. So after waiting for the prescribed three hours and no phone call I called them back and only after being put on terminal hold for ever the guy came back to say they would be out today from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. I asked if we couldn't get something earlier since we had the same problem yesterday why couldn't we go to the head of the list and he said well we might have other people with the same issue and you have. Now mind you we had to be here yesterday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM waiting for the Cable Guy and he showed up at 6:00 PM right at supper time. In our house when the cable goes out that means no TV, No Phone, and No Internet. The TV we can get around because there are probably over 200 DVD's in this house that we could watch, and the Phone there is usually at least somebody home with a cell phone. But the internet is another issue. That means Jill and I can't take any posts to put on our blogs and no posts means well you know no money. So needless to say Jill and I were pretty upset. As a matter of fact I found Jill sitting outside in the middle of the driveway trying to pick up a wireless signal from anyone in the area so she could submit the post she had already taken and not lose the money. I just don't understand why the cable always goes out in the evening and comes back on by 8:30 at the latest in the morning?????
