Have fun with the parody threads.
Finally got Google Fiber today. Been waiting patiently for five years from the time of announcement that it was coming to our area to hookup. Fiber's great and all but I have no particular allegiance to Alphabet at this point. They're just another shit corpo... but goddamn, the call to cancel with my local cable monopoly was a perfect button on the end of that abusive relationship.
Made me wait on hold and go through three people over the course of an hour. Lied to my face multiple times about the "instability of fiber" and offered me a 60% discount on my current service. Funny how there were never any discounts available when I had no alternatives. Big "C'mon baby... I'll suck yo dick!" vibes.
Fuck Spectrum and fuck state-sponsored monopolies.
