I can't make this sh*t up; I'm good, but not that good

I work for the second largest cable company in the country. I spend most of my days designing stuff to promote our "high speed this or on demand that." And yet, I have internet in my office that is literally almost as slow as dial-up. No, seriously. It's about a millisecond faster. You can't even remember internet this slow. It's from the days when computers were not ubiquitous in every household in America; it's from before I was...born.

And. To top that off, it's not even OUR internet. We have our competitor's service. When our internet goes out for the twentieth time in one day, I am so glad I am not the person who has to make that call and explain to Time Warner Cable why we, in fact need them to come fix our internet.
