I've heard that if you hit the 0 endless times when the voice mail starts, you may actually skip everything and get a PERSON.<BR/><BR/>I'm working on a shawl, too, and need to post it! Love your scarf. Did you consider crocheting around the edges to make it flatten out?Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985952566947294158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32804163.post-27438113212004114302008-05-21T17:11:00.000-05:002008-05-21T17:11:00.000-05:00I found out from a message at TDS that there's an ...I found out from a message at TDS that there's an internet outage near Chicago cause a ripple effect slow-down all over.

I heard from someplace that some of those automated systems are able to pick up from your tone of voice if you are getting frustrated, so what I've started doing in order to speak with a real person is to start shouting jibberish into the phone, in an angry sort of tone, regardless of my state of mind, but just to see if it will take action based on my voice tone. This has worked several times for me, and the voice on the other end says, "I can tell you sound a bit frustrated," and then transfers me to a real person....but it sounds like TDS might not have the technology to be able to do that :-( I hope things get better soon.....YarnThrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261414607842071918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32804163.post-89000706263631045962008-05-21T12:30:00.000-05:002008-05-21T12:30:00.000-05:00I have TDS, too, and something is very very wrong ...I have TDS, too, and something is very very wrong with them. My email seems to be working ok, but all my internet browsing is awful. Sometimes taking forever, sometimes timing out, sometimes giving the No Server Found message. I hope they straighten it out post haste. I NEED my internet!!! (That sounds pretty pathetic, doesn't it?)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278529449974055377noreply@blogger.com
