Time Warner Cable, you’re the best.

We have tried not to use the blog for personal rants, but we have not always succeeded. This morning we are not succeeding. We’re filing from a Starbucks -- for the second morning in a row -- because our Internet service, provided by Time Warner Cable, is down. Off. Kaput. Not working. No cable either.

They fixed the problem yesterday, but there is a new problem today.

We mention this because, well, it seems to happen often. If you added up all the problems we have had with all the other services and products in our home -- the two cars, the electricity, the Apple laptops, the two cellphones, the land line phone, the heat, the water -- the total inconvenience wouldn’t come anywhere close to the problems we’ve had with good old Time Warner Cable. We rarely had problems with Adelphia, by the way.

So -- anybody out there care to weigh in on the quality of cable service? Just wondering.
