I've had Time Worthless for about 5 years now. I can count the major down time on one hand and the tech has been out exactly once. And you're pissed off at them for what reason?
Either you have a very shaky connection, or you need to learn to help yourself. Tech support is stupid, but sometimes, they have the answers to routing questions. My e-mail remains with my original ISP and it's relayed through TW. My honey's email is relayed through our ISP to her RR mailbox, so sometimes we need TS to get through the maze when it burps.
Since you live in NYC, it's unlikely that there is only ONE ISP in your area. Try Google, or wait, let us do the work for you.
