It's so fucking large it should come with rack mount ears.

So, it turns out they never switched me to uverse, because somebody could 
not get to the basement.

No idea why they need to get into the basement, there's nothing down 
there.

Amusingly, the tech called me at work, asking if I was home. I said no, 
and asked if he needed to get into the basement and the answer was no, 
just try it out after 8pm.

The crushed 2wire 1970s sized device doesn'y sync up with my existing DSL, 
and the existing DSL is still up and working.

I did get some robot spam email saying my order has been taken and I'll 
get a new modem or something like that.

Who want to bet that it's some refurb unit?

If you care, there's a huge uverse call center in AZ.
