1. First, contact our office and tell us about your problem. If your problem cannot be resolved over the phone, we will schedule a service call immediately. (We do not repair televisions, computers, VCRs, DVDs or other customer-owned equipment. Once connected and functioning, we do not support these items.) If a technical problem has occurred, such as an outage affecting a large number of our customers, our telephone lines may become overloaded with calls. You may receive a busy signal in this instance because your neighbors are also reporting the problem. Please be assured we will act to restore your service as soon as possible.
