90-year-old man takes out $10K ads to tell AT&T CEO about slow service

[Robert59]

A 90-year-old California man frustrated with his slow AT&T internet service took out two newspaper ads totaling $10,000 to tell the company's CEO that he needs to do a better job of providing his north Hollywood neighborhood with faster speed.
Aaron M. Epstein said he's been an AT&T customer since 1960 and only started having issues with his internet speed in the last five years when internet streaming became widely available.

This guy's service was only 3.5 MPS....which is really low in today's world. Most decent providers now offer speeds of at least 100MPS. One would think that in such a heavily populated area like California, the service would be far better than 3.5M. Heck, even in the boondocks, where we live, starting speeds are 100MBS, and we can sign up for as much as 1GBS.
