surdel, I recognize the company from the format you laid out. I get emails all the time from them wanting bids on work. Saw one not long ago, a scanner swapout for $7 each. I can rob the paperboy and do better.But yet, apparently they find people to do it I guess or they wouldnt stay in business.And sometimes they deduct their fee from your pay, what a deal(for them)

skip, sorry for asking about dollar amount. Will remember next time. I have gone though these so called companies before. Once, was so frustrated doing a router swap out, that it refused to communicate with the home office. Company asked me to go back and install the next one. I said forget it. You want to put me in a phone que for half a hour waiting to confirm the install and test, then go hire some one else. It was during this time, the same company called a local telco provider to do the install based on there requirements. There response is "That is not the way we do business here..click!" I no longer do work for that same us based outsource company.

I had the same company wanting me to do the same install for the same price. I finally had to call them and explain the going rate for a reputable, insured company was more than what they were authorizing. If they wanted to pay that, then we would be happy to do the business. Haven't heard back since.

I just got my new declarations page for my insurance policy for next year. Price stayed about the same and I still have my killer inland marine floater attached :-) Every year, el stupido has to ask about that $1Mil Auto coverage. Apparently, if I hire someone who is underinsured and they have an accident in their vehicle, my policy covers the difference. Not bad, about $9 a month for the premium.

I just checked my account at the national outsource provider. Interesting, all four of those wifi/dsl jobs just suddenly disappeared after days of being advertised to all the local techs. Wonder if they got the message no one is interested?
