Thank you SO much for that! I JUST got off support with Comcast for the 4th day in a row because nobody is competent enough to do even the most simplest of tasks there. This replaced my frustration with laughter quickly. +1 Interwebz for you good sir!
LMFAO this is hilarious. love it
Probably the best video this side of ever.
Just when I start to think I’ve seen everything the webernets has to offer a little gem like this slips in. Fantastic!
Hello from Korea. Lol.
Is this why I no longer get Verizon LTE in my house?
Verizon only sold spectrum they weren’t using.
Oh, so ATT will be relevant in my area now?
I suppose to get a boost in my area and I’ve always had superb coverage as is.
