Since I rarely need support I choose low-cost services with minimal or arcane support. I don't like to pay for services others consume. I once had a feed from a low-key ISP run by alpha geeks. There was (I shizz you not) a little quiz you had to pass before signing up. Stuff like "what port does ssh run on by default?" and "which of these commands runs a process in the background?" It weeded out high maintenance and/or incurious folks from the general population. The resulting service was inexpensive, fast, and incredibly stable. When something did fall over they were on it like a duck on a june bug. They also informed the users of the issue and resolution with complete transparency. I've started moving my bank accounts over to an online bank (Ally) for similar reasons. I don't want to pay for buildings, humans, etc, that I will never need. Another analog is inexpensive electronic stuff from China. It comes with Chinglish instructions (or none at all) but I am willing to do the googling and experimentation to figure it out.

All that's great until you get a defective phone & no reply & agree to swap phones & no address or mailing labels as promosed twice. There's a difference between low cost support & NO support.

So Verizon and google are experimenting with AI and you are the subjects of the experiment. A friend just dumped google Fi or whatever they call it. It was taking a lot of his time talking nonsense to a AI computer.
Im hoping to find a plan that doesn’t dent my budget like my current Verizon plan. But I use it for everything which isn’t good either as I’m getting too dependent on it. Sorry, I don’t have a solution either. |
