Not sure where but why is a nice long story that will likely end up on Consumerist as soon as I finish writing it out.

Hmm. Well, I've had mixed luck with my new bank (First Arkansas Bank). My checking account with them is still at 4.44%APY, though, which is darn hard to beat. If you're more interested in convenience than profit, though, have you checked out the myriad of local credit unions, all of which can be used with the ATM in Charlie's? Whatever you do, though, avoid KeypointCU like the plague!

I haven't begun to research any new banks/CU's yet. I just know I will _not_ be with bank of america after this debacle.

Sorry you've had such a mess! I know firsthand that life's already too complex to be dealing with crap like this. Things like banking, phones, internet... should just *work* without the massive headaches!

I did the same thing last week after being a B of A customer for 14 years.

Really Eric? What was the last straw?

Very curious to see what comments you get on this one. I can't wait to get enough convincing evidence to get my roomie to ditch comcast! :)

Used to have DirecTV but switched to cable. Why? Signal would go out every time it rained, except for local (as in what you can get via bunny ears) channels.
- Miss Elle
Also, the get-via-bunny-ears channels don't have your local news. You have to have a set of bunny ears additionally, if you want them to be local.
- Miss Elle
Boyfriend said his parents' would not go out in rain and also got local channels. Need more information.
- EricaJoy
The local channels were there, but the news wasn't local, if that makes any sense. In NC, I'd get Fox from Chicago. Still the same Fox programming in terms of shows, but the news was all Chicago news.
- Miss Elle
Chicago news was probably more interesting than NC news anyway, though. And bunny ears are cute!
- Adam Lasnik
The Comcast DVR blows but everything else is ok. I had Dish & DirectTV in the past & it always had issues when it stormed. Parents and friends in various states had the same problems.

@BofA_help It is a REALLY bad idea to have nobody on site who can perform account maintenance today. There should be at least one. So angry.
Probably not the cheapest way in the world, but I suspect a patent attorney would know of people to draw up the schematics (they seem to have a special form anyway). But of course as soon as you get a patent attorney, you're out big bucks.
- Joel Webber
Don't forget that patent schematics are usually pretty ugly, and follow a common form. So just about anyone ought to be able to draft one.

@dane Thanks Dane! Do you do bundle discounts with internet service?
