brighthouse endless sucking

every now and then i just need to vent so if you've read one of the dozen or so similar vents beforee this, this will be even more abstract and possibly meaningless so look back for more detailed meaningless complaints if you like... simply, more and more often recently the brighthouse connection sucks... complete breakdowns happen between 1 and 2am a lot when there should be the least traffic, so whatever brighthouse is doing really sucks... could it be overheating?... could it be a hack or some malware?... kaspersky and spybot say no... brighthouse sucks, that's the bottom line... and what that leads to is running scans with kaspersy which slows down the computer so i am forced (oh, the agony) to sit here tying into a notepad fro endless hours while the kaspersky does it's thing scanning through the millions of files on this laptop... but a new one and re-image this one with windows 10?... then i'd complain about windows 10... but it is one good idea... buying a mac might be too but i refuse to believe macs are so much better simply because life does not work that way and apple has long since been revealed as not what it was made out to be... at least microsoft didn't pretend to be so much better and loftier and morrally superior to the bumbling, fumbling demon microsoft (or so most, including apple, portray it to be)...

and of course, windows updates... is it a sign of terrible work that updates are needed a couple of times a week or is it a sign of a failed culture that has so many cyber criminals that a security update is needed for windows defender and kaspersky and spybot daily?... rhetorica, obviously, it's both...

but brighthouse still sucks most...

terrible service

today's complaint is about ATT free webmail which is operated by Yahoo Mail for ATT and they obviously do not get along well which is typical of the years i've spent with ATT because ATT does not communicate well within the different services within it's own company and never has... i don't recall ever logging into the website without jumping through hoops unless i do it within a few days or so of logging in... the site does not remember my user name or phone number when i try to log in... yes, my phone company website does not recognize my phone number, pathetic service, aye?... and then there is email that i've had with ATT for more than 15 years and it is so challenging to access i seldom check it which means i abandoned many sites and services where i signed up with ATT emails... Yahoo Groups, for instance... once i managed dozens or more... but between SPAM from Yahoo and lack of access due to Yahoo and ATT miscommunications throughout the years, those groups are abandoned... I don't communicate via email for my Yahoo fantasy teams and have reduced those to one which is an annual invite from a friend... over the years i'd had hundred of yahoo sports fantasy teams in a variety of sports...

the hoops ATT and Yahoo make me jump through to do anything on either site just leaves me wanting another service... it's almost as stupid as blogger, which is owned by google, not working with chrome, google's browser...
