I Hate Robots: My Struggle to set up Wifi in my New Apartment
So I just moved and had to set up my wifi connection with Xfinity in my new apartment. This activity that should have taking me five minutes took about two hours. I was told I would just have to call a number and they would turn it on for me, this unfortunately was not the case. After talking to 2 different other robots, I was finally connected to a robot named Veronica. This robot was supposedly an Xfinity agent, but I find that hard to believe, and by the time you’re done reading this, I think you’ll agree with me.
So this was the first message I received from Veronica after chatting with a different robot.
So this is pretty standard I suppose. Sure I did tell the last robot that I was using the same equipment but maybe they missed that detail.
Now this is interesting because I was under the impression that I had transferred the equipment by bringing it from my old apartment into the new one, but sure whatever, please transfer my equipment.
And here we are still transferring the equipment, apparently this process takes awhile.
So now finally we have transferred the data. And you would think “Oh hey! Maybe I can use the internet now!” Nope, now we must run diagnostics to make sure the modem has transferred correctly, which again is strange because I thought I had already done that.
Here’s another interesting tidbit. The robot seems to appreciate it when I say “Ok”
As you can see I tried to shake it up by hitting them with the okie dokie and was again granted their appreciation. Now I’m not sure how at this point they did not know I was using an xfinity modem but alas, what am I to say?
Now the conversation has taken an interesting turn. I’m not sure if Veronica here is referring to Covid-19 or rioting or some other situation, but I didn’t really feel like engaging in it. I was happy to see that a signal was being sent though.
Ya know a lot really is going on right now I can’t argue with Veronica here. Of course I can’t fault her here for looking on the bright side.
Admittedly at this point I had gotten very impatient. I really just needed that sweet sweet internet juice.
And thus finally I emerged victorious, able to surf:
