Matt Goyer: Customer Service

We all express our frustration with Canadian banks' inability to rapidly clear American funds differently: John yells, this guy Flashes it (<- a must watch Flash movie. He tells it like it is! (via Ming)), and I write letters.

Our cable Internet has been down for about 2 weeks and Rogers was supposed to come last week, they even called and confirmed, but then didn't show. They did show up today, swapped a new modem in and we're back online (we have DSL too so we were never really offline). While he was here the guy said they've been having a lot of problems with the old school modem we had. My question is if they know that there's a problem with em why don't they swap em before we call and bitch?

Showtimeonline.com sucks:

We at Showtime Online express our apologies; however, these pages are intended for access only from within the United States.

WTF!? Time for a little Peek-A-Booty action (heheh I was actually trying to get to the Queer as Folk page at Showtime (too bad PaB isn't ready yet)). And funny Google doesn't discriminate and neither does the Wayback.

Matt's first tip to growing your web traffic: Let visitors who want to view your site, view it!

Same thing goes for those lame-ass music services which require credit card authentication to verify you're American. Don't bitch when you can't get enough subscribers because we tried to sign up for 'legal listening' but you wouldn't let us.

Anyhow, I want a QAF poster if anyone knows where I can order one. (eBay has some but they ain't cheap! (they ain't small either)).
