Everest Residential Service

[zscoundrel]

You have to watch out for Everest!!!  (At least according to TW!)

I have TW and had a signal problem earlier this week.  When the service 
tech came out, he found a loose connector on the splitter that separates 
the TV and modem lines.  He told me: (this is a direct quote!)

"They have had a real problem with sabotage in this area lately. 
Everest is going around sabotaging Time Warner equipment to get more 
customers."

As if. . . I have had service calls three times in the last 18 months 
and they couldn't find the problem.  Everest has only been in my 
neighborhood since January.  (They started hanging cable in November.)
