**** comcast

[Alzar]

Hello I am comcast. You disconnected our service, but you didn't return our stuff.

What's that you are asking? What stuff specifically? We can't tell you that information. However, you have not returned it.

What is that? You have a receipt saying you returned our stuff? Our records show you haven't returned our stuff. Please call this other number.

Hello, I am comcast's other number. What's your 10 digit comcast telephone number?

I'm sorry, "I DONT HAVE A TELEPHONE FROM COMCAST" is not a number. Goodbye.

Hello, I am comcast. Here is a bill for the modem that you didn't return. We are arbitrarily charging you 100 dollars for the modem, even though it retails for 59.99, because we are a bunch of assholes.

Hello, I am comcast. Thanks for waiting on hold for 30 minutes. What is it? You used your own modem and did not use comcast's modem? But we have been charging you 3 bucks a month for it. We will have an investigation into this and get back to you within 3-5 business days.

Hello, I am comcast. We have investigated your claim and found that you were indeed using a modem comcast provided and not your own modem. We know this because we have investigated it and that is the case. You say you didn't have it and have always used your own linksys modem that is in your room and still connected to the wall, but you are actually mistaken and were magically using a Docsis modem that we never gave you.

Hello, I am comcast. I am a piece of **** company. Please, never do business with me, and if we have a monopoly in your area, given your first chance, please disconnect our service immediately and switch...to anything else.

Re: **** comcast

Here's how my roommate described the situation:

In September, right after we moved in, we called Comcast, and they said they were gonna send a guy over to give us TV and Internet.

So the cable guy came to our house while I was at work, and he stepped into our living room and asked, "Where's the TV?"

My roommates said, "We plan on getting one soon. We're really just need an Internet connection."

And the guy said, "Well, I can't hook up the cable if there's no TV in the living room."

"Yes, you can," my roommates said.

"Nope," said the cable guy.

"Whatever," my roommates said, "We'll just get a little TV from one of the bedrooms."

"Sorry, I've got a schedule to keep," said the cable guy, and he left.

So my roommates sat out on the stoop feeling rather glum.

Then a man on a Segway rolled up. "Why the long faces?" he asked.

"Aw, gee whiz, mister," they said, "Comcast wouldn't hook up our cable."

"Well, shucks! RCN can have your cable up and running by tomorrow. No installation fee! Here's the number you can call," he said, giving them a card.

"Golly," my roommates said, "Thank you, sir."

"No problem," said the man. "Have a nice day, you kids!" And he rolled away.

So now we have RCN. Our connection is slow at certain times of day, but at least it's not Comcast!

Re: **** comcast

I have Comcast. They haven't completely sucked but quality is inconsistent. Service drops out from time to time. And not too long ago I had to get my modem and my cable box replaced within a week span. They're also more expensive than they should be. But whatevs.

Re: **** comcast

Any cable company that has a monopoly for internet service in the area is bound to be unwholesomely expensive. Suddenlink charges us $52 a month for just internet. No phone, no modem, not even basic cable. Just internet.

Goddamn.

Re: **** comcast

I remember when Comcast suddenly removed Sci-fi chanel from out channel lineup, I called, and they said that it was never offered with the plan we had, despite me using it to watch ghost hunters for many years.

a few weeks later we went to Dish Network. hooray.

Re: **** comcast

I have Dish Network, the leader in digital television.

Another reason for me to never get Comcast. That's one of the few cable channels I'd bother with if I actually wanted to shell out the money for it. Without it, I have no reason for Comcast to charge me an arm and a leg for stuff like sports coverage that I'm never going to watch.

Re: **** comcast

We've got Shaw Cable up here. Costs me about $95 a month for basic cable and their "High-speed Internet", which is the cheapest internet connection they offer. but I split it down the middle with my room mate so its not that bad.

I wish I could just pay for only the channels I want to watch. Out of the 50 or so they give me I watch maybe 5 or 6 of those.

Re: **** comcast

ive had shaw before and they are just ugh. currently we have rogers but its performance is debatable, well not less then satisfactory. id be fighting that stupid 100 dollar charge. they better have a receipt for the modem they apparently sold you, else they certainly have no proof that they did sell you any such device.

Re: **** comcast

Yeah I bought the modem. In the long run its saving me a little money, but still. Whats Rogers charge for Internet and basic cable?

Re: **** comcast

Great, I have comcast right now. It drops the internet about every hour. Though live works just fine fortunately.

Re: **** comcast

I work for Comcast and get free internet, cable, and phone.

Suck it loosers, it's great here on the inside.

Re: **** comcast

My experience with Comcast was something like:

Hello, I am Comcast. You will love my service! The package I am telling you about includes several sports and movie tiers.

Hello, I am Comcast. I will make an appointment to set up your cable and then never show up.

Hello, I am Comcast. I am actually talking to myself, because I am not picking up my phone to respond and let you know why I didn't show up.

Hello, I am Comcast. I have brought you the wrong receiver box, despite you having specified twice which one you wanted, and will now proceed to charge you for it.

Hello, I am Comcast. Please pay your $192 bill on your $39 TV service and $19 Internet service. Oh, you didn't know we were charging you $60 for tiers we said were included in your package?

Hello, I am Comcast. Please enter your telephone number. Sorry, the number you provided us is not a valid number, because it is a cell phone from a different area code.

Hello, I am Denise from Comcast. I'm sorry you were deceived when you ordered our service, and I am aware the charges are illegal, but I refuse to take them off your bill. I also refuse to connect you to a supervisor. I will be happy to disconnect your service to these tiers, though. [After six calls, they finally took the illegal charges off my bill.]

Hello, I am Comcast. Please wait in line for the next 45 minutes to return your equipment--we've got a lot of other grumbly people also returning their equipment today. I hope we can charge them lots of hidden fees!

Honestly, this woman is my hero.

I am now a VERY happy DirecTV customer.
