is anyone else experiencing an increase in DROPPED CALLS or TRASHY CALL QUALITY since the launch of Retrospec? long-distance in particular. or is there some other, better explanation for this change that I'm unaware of? after plenty of baseless excuses that turned out to be false, my carrier claims that there's noooothing wrong on their end. but what good are they? they also can't find an app on my phone that we know exists.

it's shocking that nobody else has said anything... unless it really is just me and every single phone I touch.

have you been able to ask her if there's anything weird on her end? like outages in her area?

of course I asked, but she didn't think so. I have reason to believe everything is in working order where she is, anyway. think something like a hospital, where cell/telephone services are of importance. that wouldn't go unaddressed for weeks like this without serious complaint, would it?

I just find it more likely that it's from this end. that's all.

or that being part of retrospec is interfering with all our stuff. which it could be. or... i don't know. the stuff it's doing doesn't make sense in the first place, why not say it's to blame for why we're not getting through to who we didn't have problems keeping up with before?

it's easy to blame Retrospec of all things. it's unwelcome. but it's not for sure, not quite... that's why I want substantial evidence. to see a trend, to figure out how it's causing this disruption. a downed tower would be much easier to deal with, as you know. an app we can't remove from our phones, well.......

you see.

wouldn't the news report back on downed towers? usually the uh. whatever utility places tell you when lines are down or experiencing outages or stuff when you call, don't they?

riiight exactly. but that's one of the many lame excuses my carrier came up with! I WISH it were true so that things would get better with a simple repair, but I know better. nobody can explain this otherwise.

and if there's no way to bypass it, and no way to fix it, then trying Retrospec for answers seems to be the only method.

mostly seems to make more questions but i guess we've now heard it's a problem for a bunch of people. which. i don't know. can't say that gives me any better answers. this still sucks. i don't want it getting worse.

which is why we should stay on our toes and look for any opportunities to get us in touch with Retrospec.

I'll try Skype soon. even if I have to schedule a date to talk to her via mail, I'll do it and see what happens. there are lots of online services, and I'll try each one. if I find a solution, it'll be something, at least.

any word on if the office still locks people in?

grandpa's not going to really get anything other than Skype, but if that gets better or w/e, i'll let you know ig.

I visited the day after Founder's Day. the doors didn't lock on me that time, but there's nothing different about the place. elevator's still busted, and the offices won't open. nobody's there.

it's mind-numbing, introducing family to other programs, since they don't get it. I'll have to write down detailed instructions to get my mother to try anything else... but do tell me if you have success with your grandpa.

i will. shit like this is important that we know.
