Is there a more worthless Major Corporation than AT&T

Had a storm blow through yesterday evening about 6pm. Turns out winds knocked part of a limb down that pulled the phone line from the pole to residence down, nearly ripping the connector box off outside wall of house.
Like a normal person I tried calling AT&T to report it, get repair scheduled, etc., several different numbers in fact. There are apparently no live persons at AT&T on Sunday
All numbers and automated systems refer to: Business hours Monday-Saturday 7-5. Now sure, AT&T is a big company and all but there is zero chance in Hell they can arrange with nature to have conveniently scheduled natural disasters only during normal business hours. Hurricane in Florida? Apparently will only occur Mon-Sat, 8-5. Earthquake in Cali? Currently scheduled Mon-Sat, 8-5.

What a terrible post. You're ripping a business that isn't operating on a day of rest. The world doesn't revolve around you

Comcast, easily.

I hope they bill you for your limb tearing their line down. Why can you report through the automated system anyway? Too good for that?

800-288-2020 didn't get you to a person?

Automated system eventually leads to business hours recording and disconnect

I'd like to submit Comcast. I hate them

Sounds about as worthless as a landline itself.

Comcast
This isn't even a debate.

The people saying Comcast in this thread obviously do not understand the definition of "worthless"

You really expect someone to come out today for an outage to one home?

I expect there to be a person to handle scheduling for minor downed line repairs AND for potential MAJOR events. Neither is available.
ETA: I have a chronic potentially life threatening medical condition that as recently as 72 hours ago nearly had me dialing 911

Do you not have a cell phone?

The number? See above posted number without a human and that ends in disconnect.

They pay a good dividend. Fixed income by proxy.
