If your going to run from the work, you might as well hide from the money.

@comcast Great news @comcast unfortunately you forgot to train employees on these products. I’ve been through chat support, X @XfinitySupport for over three hours, trying to help a family member get this plan. I forgot how much I enjoy not having to deal with your company at my home.

[Dwayne Alton @DwayneAlton]

@XfinitySupport is the definite now Internet actually available? Trying to switch to it, but it isn’t available when I log in. Chat rep is useless. Rep can’t change the account and won’t cancel my account.

@Starlink what is the correct plan for an agency that needs to use SL for emergency response? Roam plan doesn’t seem to be available for business accounts. Business plans appear to only be for stationary use? 🤷🏻‍♂️How do your customers handle this use case?

[Dwayne Alton @DwayneAlton]

@MikeSievert the backlash you’re receiving about @TMobile forced plan migration is well deserved. In case you forgot your presentation at CES a few years ago, I’ve attached it. It’s about ethics and trust, Mike -not fine print. Do better.

I’ve been told you should never meet your heroes. But I’ve run into three people over the years that have met @hwinkler4real and said he’s cooler than The Fonz. You’re on my list, Henry!

Congratulations Kayla. ❤️ we are all so proud of you. First day of kindergarten to today!

[Dwayne Alton @DwayneAlton]

Getting ready to start. 🙂

[Dwayne Alton @DwayneAlton]

I’m so excited that I get to be on stage for my daughter, Kayla’s high school graduation today. Starts in an hour. ❤️

@YouTube ads have gotten out of control. Both frequency and repetition. Making me watch the same ad 5 times per video for the last 10 videos is not the way to get me to buy a Yellow iPhone. 🤨 In fact no one wants a yellow iPhone @Apple @ATT And the song now gives me PTSD.

@MikeSievert @TMobile is this true? Do you really think it’s fair to push customers to use debit/ACH info for autopay discount with your history of security issues? #PriceLockGuarantee #Uncarrier ? https://t.co/0wX5PoRz3c

@JohnLegere @netflix I’d really prefer they simply limit simultaneous streams. I pay for 4 streams. We have 4 people in household. 2 will be in college soon. They will not be on my home network for months at a time. And I mostly have Netflix for them.

[Dwayne Alton @DwayneAlton]

@netflix Does your new password sharing policy mean we need to pay more for kids at college? Or give them a code weekly? Or make them get their own account?

@fetc Oh crap. I booked a flight to NOLA!

“Hidden bias can cause a persistent urge to see all that agrees with you and ignore all that does not, even when countervailing examples abound. Among the many ways to fool oneself, the most pernicious is confirmation bias.”

@JohnLegere @elonmusk @Twitter @JohnLegere is this a real offer? If so, @elonmusk this is a great idea. John is an amazing turnaround CEO and culture builder. Great leaders build great teams. It would make a lot of sense and be worth every penny. Stabilize before it’s too late.

[Dwayne Alton @DwayneAlton]

@elonmusk Need some StarLink here at ground zero in Lee County, Florida. We’re the school district running the shelters. DM me if you can help.
