    Good luck calling them already. A lot of services make it flat out impossible to talk to a human.

  They’re not going away, they’re just going to be more persistent with their cold calling, and more infuriating with their call answering.

  I had an issue with some equipment from ATT, it took about 6 different try’s before I finally found a human capable enough to help resolve my issue, which involved replacing the equipment.

  This future sounds so much worse to fix a complicated issue.
