>I've gotten so fed up with ATTs bullshit that I've out right told their techs that if we lose internet I will call the cops, I do have their license plate, and they will pay for all the fiber repair costs.
Not American (as my username suggests) but thqt's literally what my father said to the ISP that used to provide internet service to my grandparent's house.
There were problems constantly with service interruptions that'd never get fixed and so on and tech support was completely useless, constantly providing pointless "solutions". Eventually my father phoned the company and bluntly said "If a tech isn't there tomorrow morning, I'm calling the cops on you for failure to provide service".
Lo and behold, the very next day at 8 A.M. sharp, a tech was there to finally fix the problems.
