Wait, does this mean they literally went door to door trashing equipment then moving on? shouldn't they then also help those people fix the problem or get a new router?
- troglonoid 5y agoI’m not aware of the actual process they had, but it is likely they actually replaced or aided with the replacement. I’m guessing the experience wasn’t some type of swatting, where the GeekSquad loudly breaks in at 4 AM with flash bangs, shouting “WHERE’S THE ROUTER, WHERE’S THE ROUTER!”.
