I finally have electricity and internet at my new place! It took far too much effort and raising hell than it should have.
It took them 4 days and me raising absolute hell to finally get my electricity turned on. I have always gotten it same day or the next day in the past. Fortunately, I did get a very helpful rep on the phone who made sure it got done.
As for internet, good lord the comedy of errors from Comcast Xfinity was absolutely unreal. I have never experienced so much incompetence and errors in my life. After the second time that a tech was supposed to come out to establish the outside connection did not show, I gave up. I am canceling. I called the local service called Yucca and I literally had internet service within 15 minutes. I just called them on the phone, got my plan set up, went and picked up the router at the local office which is just a few blocks from my house, came home and plugged in my router and I had service. It just absolutely amazing the contrast between the two companies. I will be paying quite a bit more per month which is a drag but at least with them right down the street I should be able to get issues resolved quickly if they arise. That's important to me since I earn all my money online.
I still have more stuff to move and clean the old house so this weekend will be busy. But I have everything I need in place at my new house and I am very happy about it.
