Hurrah! For the Good Guys!
Jim was here today and the new DSL service is "farmed-out!" I think I'm in love. If I can't get my paintings linked to my blog now; then it sure isn't because of my ISP.
I hope they know they've made a friend for life.
I told Jim it was because of ('him/Them/ReachOne') all being such great people to deal with. My daughter tried to get me to go to comcast several times, but I refused. My reason still stands, and even more firmly than before.
Bless his heart, Jim acted like "Doesn't everyone treat people like we do?"
That's a big NO they don't, little buddy, and that is my reason for staying with ReachOne.

There are more but this is enough from this source.
Now from Webster's New Dictionary of the English Language
\serves\n 1: act or means of serving 2: meeting for worship 3: branch of public employment or the persons in it 4: set of dishes or silverware 5: benefit ~vb - viced; vicing: repair - ser*vice*able adj - ser*vice*man\ - man, -men\ n - ser*vice*woman n
And Lastly:
The American Heritage dic*tion*ar*y fourth edition
defines service as this:
SERVICE:4. to be of assistance to 5. To spend or complete (time) 6. To undergo military service for. 7. To give homage to. 8. To requite. 9. To meet the needs of; satisfy. 10. Law to present (a writ or summons).
11. Sports To put a ball in play, as in tennis > n Sports The right or act of serving in many court games |
ser*vice (sur'vis) . n 1a. Employment in work for another, esp, for a government b. A government branch or department and its employees. 2. The armed forces of a nation or any branch thereof. 3. The occupation or duties of a servant. 4. Work done for others as an occupation. 5. Installation or repairs provided by a dealer or manufacturer. To maintain.
USAGE:
Service is used principally in the sense " to repair or maintain" In the sense "to supply goods or services to".
Quite a bit there that many businesses don't even bother to do any more. I think it's because most of our manufacturing has been shipped overseas; so the businesses don't feel obligated to service the average American citizen any longer.
According to the research I've done, very few things are manufactured here in continental U. S. A. anymore. There are candy companies and such, but no longer any major mills in operation. We have gone from a thrifty, inventive and producing nation to a wasteful, consumer nation.
Businesses know they can sell their products to masses all over the globe so one person in continental U.S.A. is insignificant to them.
But, thank God, someone still believes in service.
ReachOne not only believe in it, they know what it means and take pride in giving good service. They are building a loyal appreciative clientele; because they are doing the right thing.......daily!
Hurrah! For the Good Guys!
I had to write this because someone needs to know there are still people out there like these rare and precious few.
