Customer service for a communications company such as Comcast or Spectrum can take a long time. A joke was posted on Twitter by Simon Holland on May 8, 2017:
     
“I got a job at Comcast and completed training so I could fix my own cable because it was faster than being on hold with customer service.”
   
The joke was posted on Reddit—Oneliners on October 16, 2020. “I got a job at Spectrum & got trained as a technician so I could fix my own cable cuz it was faster than waiting for their customer service” was posted on Twitter by Gregory Harshfield on May 16, 2017.

I took a job at @vodafone, completed my technical training so I could fix my own network issues,
as that seemed faster than being on hold with customer service.
