Hacker Bear is STILL PISSED

Okay, so I've had no calls from maintenance. My internet still doesn't work. However, I can tell that maintenance came out and ripped all the plastic strips they had covering the coax along the walls. So I know they came out -- what they did besides a visual check "Yup, the lines are still there!" I have no way of knowing.

All I know is that it -still- doesn't work and they most employ the most dipshit maintenance people ever. Frankly, they shouldn't be offering "Broadband" here -- obviously their coax network can't handle it, wasn't designed for it, and they've got NO FUCKING CLUE HOW TO MAINTAIN OR UPGRADE IT. Fuck, Just the fact that I can see the front half of the building has 2 splitters screwed to the wall that the signal strength must be almost nothing.

I'm at my wits' end -- I don't know whether to sic my lawyer on them or start apartment hunting again. I don't think I can move out during the winter, and I know that internet is something that shouldn't be a reason for a person to move, but this whole thing has left me with a bad taste of "What if it wasn't internet? What if it was electricity or heat or water?"

If I can't trust them to fix something like this, how can I trust them to fix anything at all?

It's a shame, because my apartment's so damn cute too.. but cute does not make up for WORKING.

GRR. MFF tomorrow though! YAY!
