Listen to how stupid comcast internet is

Yianaki	Date: February 3, 2002 @ 4:23 PM I joined Comcast internet with special deal (free till 2002) in late nov. This was the day before @home announced it was going belly up. Well I thought I was screwed but thankfully nothing happened to my service. Last week it just wasn't working and so I called up and at first they told me that I needed to name my computer the name @home gave it and they would call back and tell me it because the computers were down. They never called back and I waited by the phone all day like a monkey. So I called the next day and they told me that the name wasn't the problem the problem was someone deleted my account because they saw I wasn't being charged for the service. Which is nice of them. Ya know instead of calling me or just charging me for the service like they were supposed to after my trial period ended. And the guy said they might file charges for stealing the internet service, they didn't even have any records of the guy who came to install it from comcast. Then I explained to him that I was signed up for the free till 2002 deal they had here in Philly (he wasn't aware of it). Well he stopped saying I was going to jail and said he would fix it. He said he'd call back the next day when it was fixed. He never called back. So I called up the day after and they said I had my account set up again but because of it being the end of @home they could not give me a new @home account. So I would have to wait till they switch over to the Comcast network in two weeks for it to start working again. Then I am sure something else will go wrong. What morons, all praise the monopoly that is Comcast. I am just glad they don't have that bolt thingie for the cable modems, you know that thing frys your TV if you are stealing cable. Another funny thing almost every time I call them their network is down or they say it is slow and buggy. If I were them I would not be telling people that on the phone, it doesn't exactly enstill belief in their networking skillz.

PrincessTast...	Date: August 16, 2007 @ 7:03 PM Comcast is just another bunch of corporate fat cats who think they own the internet. They're one thing I definitely do not miss about Boston where they have a virtual monopoly. Or is that a real monopoly?
