8:45...back online. It will be interesting to see how they handle any penalty points from the outage. No problem checking in at the starter shack, but their computers were out also...still had tee sheets for today.

Let me try a little math....

110,000 homes in TV
Maybe 1/2 are golfers that use TV online tee system = 55,000
Times $8 per month = $440,000
Times 12 months per year = $5,280,000

5+ million dollars...that's a huge number.

This is the first time I have encountered a problem with the computer reservation system, it usually works quite well. It would really be nice to hear and understand what the difficulty was/is.

I would like to know what happened last time ComCast went out..... what's the chances of that ????

It went out - it was fixed. End of story.

You can use the phone system for free. HEAR THAT VILLAGERS? FREE!

Villages.net provides more services than golf. The tee system isn't mandatory online, you can get a time by phone or just showing up. Golf on execs are then free if you walk. Those of us that use it do so for our convenience. We usually pay for services that we choose to use.

It does not matter. They provide a service. We pay for that service. We should get support for that service. 24X7.

110,000 people, not 110,000 homes

TV is a bit different but many retirement communities have 20% or less golfers. But because of our golf emphasis it would be more in TV. It would be interesting to know the real number. 40,000?? High or low?

With a few exceptions the service is fine. Most online services we pay for have occasional interruptions. Since you seem to think otherwise, would you feel the same way if the service were free?
