When I try calling them the technicians claim they only handle internet and try to transfer me to phone service area however I never get anyone.
Has anyone encountered the same problem? Have you found a number where you actually talk to a knowledgeable person?
Thank you
Have you tried adding 1 in front of the area code like you would with an 800 number? That's the only thing I've ever been asked to add when dialing long distance from my landline.
