    Hi Ky!

    Well, wrong conference area but the original thread is here....

    Early evening Friday -- the CenturyLink repair person was supposed to be
    here between 8:15 and 4:15; got a text message at 4:30 will be there at
    9:55 a.m. today -- assumed (oops!) meant 4:55, as an earlier automated
    message had said by 4:50. OK -- running behind, at least notifing me.

    Cue 'Jeopardy!' theme music.... quarter to six - nobody showing. Call
    the 800 repair line - and get partway into the automated robot and get disconnected. Call again, get into a loop. Call a third time: finally
    get the automated guy to transfer me -- it rings several times then dead
    air. Wait for a while just in case.

    Dial a fourth time - automated guy, get to transfer, couple of times
    says the wait time will be approximately ten minutes; OK, not
    horrible.... About 42 minutes later the call gets answered. Very nice
    female with just a trace of an accent. Rechecks: order still open, apologizess, tries to contact the technician, no response (which seemed
    to surprise her, or at least wasn't normal to not respond). So now rescheduled for tomorrow (Saturday) -- between 8:15 and 6:30 (Good
    thing I don't have a life!)

    So charging my cell phone up just to be sure not run out of battery and
    have to carry a battery pack around too!

    Hi Ky!

    Follow up Saturday morning om CenturyLink.... Checked the cell phone
    app to see if an update: sure is!!

    Estimated started time: 09.19.20 4:47 p.m.
    Estimated completion time: 09.19.20 6:27 p.m.

    Guess that's better than waiting around from last night's 8:15 a.m. to
    6:15 p.m.!
