[AMRadio] Ebs Test failure

[rbethman]

Yep!  I still have a twisted pair line in my house.

Verizon keeps wanting me to get *FIOS*, and Comcast wants me to get 
*Triple Play*.

The funny part is that while Verizon at LEAST is on my side of the 
street, Comcast is NOT.  It would be a major feat for them to get their 
fiber over here.  They'd have to dig up the city's street to get here!

I use Direct TV for television, and have the *OLD* Comcast buried cable 
for Internet.

They can both pound salt if they even dream of changing me!

I will NOT allow either of them to tear up my driveway, again, to put in 
their crap.  I had to put up with the Keystone Cops brigade installing 
the fiber as it was a disaster when they first put it in.

Verizon was tearing up their own twisted pair legacy system, and 
Comcast's old cable.  Then Comcast came through and put fiber on the 
other side of the street, tearing up Verizon's 100 pair lines, AND their 
own.

Both had hired contractors to do the work.

A friend of ours was working as a plumber for a small company, and he 
made enough from side work when the broke water lines, that he bought 
out the company.

What a zoo!
