Comment Sick and tired. (Score 1) 153

I am so sick and tired of spam calls. Especially on my business cell phone that I cannot afford not to answer. I have been through numerous scanning services and they all fail, I have made noise with the cell company and I get a song and a dance. Seems to me the solution is rather simple. Ping back the number listed in the caller ID, if you do not get a busy signal, then drop the call before it rings through. Sooner or later I will start working on that.

Comment No Customers? Former customer. (Score 1) 198

Google Fiber is now my ISP and has been for a few years. Prior to fiber building out in my area, Centurylink was my ISP.

If Centurylink has no customers, then why can I sown numerous payments to them for internet service.

Perhaps all of us that are, or were customers of Centurylink should file a class action lawsuit for wrongful billing and make them pay us back.
