Well, I am having trouble calling my mother in the 330 area code, which is out of state for me. Three phone calls over the last two days show on my log as connected, but I just hear a ringing phone and she just hears dead air. She's in assisted living and I'm quite peeved to know this has been going on a while without much acknowledgment. I had problems calling Ohio during that Eastern service issue on the 17th, also, and most of my problems seem to date from that time on. I can get through to my brother who lives near her, but today I had to get a message to her to call me, and thankfully she was able to get through. She is on Ameritech, not Comcast, no VOIP.
I'm really losing confidence quickly. Been a customer since August 3rd. Everything went very well at first, but I've been having dropped calls and such, and several local calls I was unable to complete until the second try, and I'm in the midwest.
