Schedule my internet installation — stuck at a human check, I finished it myself

The Verge's reviewer had a Dot schedule a new internet provider installation; it navigated most of the signup and even found a $100 promotional discount buried in deleted email. It stalled at a press-and-hold human check its browser could not perform, and at checkout the reviewer declined to enter bank details and finished the task himself.

How it works

  1. Work through the new provider's signup
  2. Find a $100 promotional discount in mass-deleted email
  3. Stall at a press-and-hold human check
  4. Reach checkout needing bank account details
  5. Reviewer takes over and finishes himself

Why it’s worth knowing

It found a $100 discount in email he'd deleted — then a press-and-hold button ended the run.
