As for warranty- it's a fine thing, however to claim it, make sure you can enforce it.

Warranty.    I thought you were talking about getting a new wife for a minute.

We rent out condos, so things break in the units once in awhile. Just today we had to send someone to go fix a leaky AC. If you keep the warranty card there are no issues. It's just convincing them to come out and fix it. First call it's all "Okay, okay I'm coming to fix it now!" five minutes later "Can I just come by in a week and do it????" -_-

I'm impressed,  quite often up here, ( especially with VNPT ), they will never give you a time, then when you inquire a few days later, they say, " they went to your house and you were not home ". Or they expect you to hang around home all day , and then not turn up at all.

That happened to us a lot at first, so now we make them come out that day or get someone else who can. We were changing locks on a unit and the guy said he'd be out Tuesday. Tuesday comes, he doesn't show, so we get someone else who will come out now. That guy calls Thursday and says he's on his way... We told him we found someone else since he was past fashionably late. He yelled at us and couldn't understand why we thought he wouldn't show.

Seems VNPT is irresponsible in your area. Actually I like the way FPT tried to fix my pc from far distance first when I called them while contacting VNPT is like announcing that my internet has dc and they will come tomorrow.I used FPT from their first developing days but after 5 years I am using VNPT. Not because VNPT or FPT is good or not but if you don't use cable, vnpt is still faster than FPT. I like the way they print useful information on the other side of the bill monthly. Until now I can't understand why I just pay lower than the price I registered while the speed is faster 2 times than on the contract.

It's taken VNPT 3 years to finally sort out my internet/cable TV, ( not surprising when you see the line hanging from tree branches, ( we only got concrete power poles in the last year ), and junction boxes uncovered and swinging in the breeze, one time they replaced the line from the road side pole to my house, ( leaving the old cable there still ), there would always be a little improvement for a few days, maybe even a week, if I was lucky, then it would get gradually worse, I'm sure they used to think I was only calling them to my house, because I was just a lonely Foreigner, many times they would come here and it would be fine, but they would never come when it was blowing , or raining of course, when it was at it's worst. The wife would say, stop complaining, it's because it is cheap, but it's not cheap if you couldn't watch it most nights, ( and the cable TV has doubled in price over that 3 yrs ).

Yeah, Mark, they must use something like that in the tyres of those old bicycles they use for carrying stuff,  ( the only mens bikes you see around here ), I usually smell them going past ,  there would have to be close to 200 kg of shit and straw on them sometimes.

VNPT has got us by the balls out here, no competition, I tried using VN mobile, using my Smartphone as a wifi hotspot, expensive way to find out VN mobile 3G doesn't work here, ( although it says on it's web internet coverage page that this area is covered ).,  I pay 160,000 for unlimited internet, ( but only 2.57 mpbs download, and 0.52 upload. fast enough for me, and 60k for MYTV.

VN mobile? Vietnam mobile?  It supplies the worst 3G.

Maybe that's why they were so much cheaper than everyone else?
