Modman Commentary – 4G versus 3G, utility company ripoffs

Sprint’s 4G wireless network was tested while it was faster than 3G, it’s not fast enough yet for people to run out to switch. UTILITY COMPANY RIPOFFS: We all know what a ripoff the power companies are. They purposely make their bills confusing so the normal joe can’t even call to question their bill. Verizon is a different story. In order to keep my business, they offered a premium package bundle which was fine, however I had to call in every month to get the bill adjusted because they kept overcharging me and finally they told me it was only a 6 month offer.  At work, I had to upgrade my FIOS internet service in order to support a static IP addres and port forwarding.  The only problem is that the modem Verizon doesn’t allow stable port forwarding even with a static IP address. MORAL:  If you have Vierizon, threaten to switch to Comcast and vice versa.   However the best ripoff is the bottled water company.  Cloister was purchased by Crystal Springs who is now water.com.  I ordered floridated water (not for me,  my teeth are long cavitied) and they brought out their regular stuff.  I called to get switched out, which they did.  The first bottle I opened, I noticed that someone just placed a floridated sticker on top of the regular water sticker.  I called in and demanded 4 free bottles, they gave it to me. OTHER: Batton down you hatches – hurricane Earl’s here.  We’re not even out of Iraq yet and it’s worse than prior to our takeover.  We’re not nation builders – we’re nation busters (including our own – the cost $$$). Paris Hilton got busted.  Who’s suprised?  Who cares?  Hopefully she’ll get some jail time and she can shoot another reality show in prison.  They can call it the Gangbangers.  What about the goofballs that go to the casio in Bethlehem, PA and leave their 2 and 3 year old kids in their cars while they go in and lose their unemployment checks? Wouldn’t it be something if the Bankees,  I mean Yankees don’t make the playoffs?  Does anyone actually like Andy Roddick?  I never saw a man with such a hard serve play such a defensive pushing game.  The raccoon now comes up on my porch.  Last night he ate Esther’s lip gloss.  It was cherry flavor, so I guess he thought it was fruit.
