So I'm currently in Nashville, TN waiting to move our branch office from the rental space to our new spacious facility we purchased. So new if you look up our address on Google Maps its just freshly scraped ground.
So my boss in early June put in orders with both ATT and Comcast for install this week . Comcast estimated install for today, ATT yesterday. So we started the move with no indication anything would go wrong.
Ive been here since Sunday evening prepping. ATT finally showed up today. And finally had the job done at 5. But at least it was done.
However Comcast updated us today to tell us the project was STILL in "design phase". Its not being installed today. Upon further investigation, we discovered that they had pulled a construction permit from the city to attach their lines to the power poles and the building. However as Nashville is famous for glacially slow response, they still havent approved the permit 60 days later.
And of course nobody at Comcast could say "yeah, we may have a problem and we are waiting on permits." Nope. for the past 2 weeks we have been riding them for confirmation because we MUST be out of our old building this weekend. Not once in the past 2 weeks did anyone tell us anything about the permit issue; they just kept acting like they were ready and able to install as soon as their construction/install teams could do it on their schedule.
We now have people trying to pull strings to get the permits signed so I dont have to come back next week.
This place makes Bloomington look like a well oiled machine.
