How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something.

Also, it’s not that they’re cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.

    Or, hear me out, they could just be a polite human and ask about the issue before jumping to conclusions? It could be a simple case of them restarting the network to fix it. Throwing a tantrum over this without any other information or communication is just pathetic, why would that be your gut reaction?

      It’s actually crazy how many adults are entitled children who don’t know how to deal with issues

      Acting like that can very easily backfire

        Yeah… even if the people are dickheads, why go through the effort to stoop to their level, just move on with your life.

        a person is entitled to what they paid for. they are also entitled to complain when they get ripped off.

        but, sure, you can just roll over and get taken advantage of. sounds very “adult”.

        enjoy that.

          Making their life a living hell is a far cry from complaining. What you suggested is childish, petty, and probably would get OP banned from AirBNB.

            there is nothing childish nor petty about demanding to get what one paid for. and complaining to AirBnB about it while also posting one’s dissatisfaction publicly isn’t going to get anyone banned.

            I didn’t advise doing anything illegal nor did i advise harassing anyone.

              My dude you said you’d make their life living hell, the fact that you don’t consider that harassment says a lot about the kind of person you are. No wonder you’re so unhappy.

                You imagine me as unhappy because it services your position to do so.

                I get what I pay for. I’m quite happy. If you can’t find it possible to believe me, that’s your own problem.

      Yeah, not doing that. In fact, if I don’t have to see or talk to them the entire time I’m here, I’ll be happy about that part of this trip. I didn’t particularly want to stay in an AirBnB in the first place, but I’m not the one paying. I would have honestly been fine with a Motel 6 or whatever.
