Fry's enter the online world

from the a-whole-new-meaning-to-poor-service dept

Fry's Electronics, the well known electronics store in the West, has finally taken a step into the online world. They are offering DSL service through a partnership with Covad Communications. Now, anyone that has been to Fry's knows that they offer some of the worst customer service of any retail chain out there. Their new DSL service may be cheap, but quite frankly, that's not what I'm looking for when I look for Internet access...

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Fry's Cust. Service sucks!

    I remember Fry's when I was out in the valley. I was so hyped about going to visit this mecca of technology stores but when I finally got there I was so disappointed with the overall experience. It's a place for people that know what they want, that can ignore totally incompetant sales people and their prize for that is reasonably priced consumer electronics. I wouldn't touch Fry's DSL service with a ten foot barge pool considering my previous encounters with them ( I wonder if they'd have any one that knew what they were doing with DSL technology?).
