How Many Ways Can You Say "SBC Sucks"?

SBC sucks. Specifically their DSL service.

They messed up my Yahoo! account and just wouldn't or didn't want to do anything about it. At one point I was asked to call Microsoft for help?! What does Microsoft have to do with my Yahoo! account not working? Numerous customer service people I've spoken to on the phone just asked me to get another Yahoo! account and move on with my life.

"Fine, that's what I will do," I thought.

So I tried to apply for a new Yahoo! account. And I found out none of the followings was available:

sbcsucks
subsucksbad
sbcsucksass
sbcyahoosucks
sbcyahoosucksass
sbcyahoosucksbad
sbc_sucks
sbc_sucks_bad
sbc_sucks_ass
sbc_yahoo_sucks
sbc_yahoo_sucks_ass
sbc_yahoo_sucks_bad

I gave up trying. Just how many ways can you say, "SBC SUCKS"? Apparently all permutations have been taken. Too many people out there share my sentiment about SBC, obviously.

I got a friend who's recently ordered SBC DSL service. But on the day when the service was supposed to be activated, it wasn't. SBC DSL customer service told her that she had canceled her service 6 months ago. But she had never had DSL service before. And they refused to help her any further on the phone because she had placed her order online.

I filed a formal complain against SBC at Central Texas BBB. Central Texas BBB's web site rates SBC an "unsatisfactory".

I say that's well deserved. No, actually, I think the rating is too kind.
