Care to offer any updates about why your service is still down in DC @astoundconnects or when it will be back up?
Hey @astoundconnects I’m astounded at how terrible your customer service is. My Internet’s been out since 6pm & I was on hold for more than 30 min w customer service to tell me nothing. No reason why, no idea when it’ll be back up. You can at least list outages on your website.

Oh look @CMLewisGeorgeW4! The 6900 block of 8th St NW is freshly repaved and @DDOTDC forgot the markings for the speed bumps in the #bikedc lane *again.* several other contraflows in Ward 1 & 3 have proper markings. Why can’t they spare a little paint for Ward 4?

Just dropping in to say how much I love it when @astoundconnects increases my bill by 33% month because I’m a “loyal customer” and puts me on hold for 20 minutes to talk to a supervisor. Who do y’all use for internet?

What a joke. The only thing that’s changed on 8th St is the weather. Anybody want to paint some markings on these? @DDOTDC obviously isn’t going to to it.

Love it when @DDOTDC leaves a job unfinished that puts kiddos at risk. Please paint these missing crosswalks in front of a nursery school/daycare at 9th & Taylor NW. @CMLewisGeorgeW4

Update: I’m back on hold because apparently I need to make several calls to Amtrak to get a receipt that should have been emailed to me in the first place.

Love waiting on hold for 20+ minutes only to be transferred to another agent, then snapped at and told to “go do it online” when your website said to call for assistance.

Just kidding. Meet us at MIDLANDS instead. #MBTPubRoll
Kicking off tonight #MBTPubRoll today at wonderland ballroom @ 6pm. The rolling will be dependent on weather and popular demand. Stay tuned for updates!

Another year, another request for the same road striping on the contraflow sped bumps on the 6900 block of 8th St NW - but this time the entire block was recently paved and restriped…except the NB side of the bumps. Cc @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @charlesallen @311DCgov @DDOTDC

Now do e-bike charging.
Improving EV charging infrastructure usually means equitably installing new stations. But replacing inoperable ones in key locations is just as important. A new federal grant is helping @DOEE_DC do just that on Benning Rd NE. doee.dc.gov/release/us-depar…
