Wow, Comcast SUCKS

And you know the really shitty part? [livejournal.com profile] hakuyama WORKS FOR THEM. I'm thinking hard about going back to Bellsouth. I really am. If you need me you can email me at work. Use art@printingtradeco.com. If you need to talk to me, you can call me at work (email me for phone number) since Comcast is telling us they can't come out until NEXT WEDNESDAY, thus we are without a phone. So they screw us over and then make us wait a week. Nice, really nice.

:/ I haven't received my Comcast bill yet. It should have been here a few days ago. I'm callin' 'em.

Last November, I never received a bill, and I didn't realize it. So, la de da, I go along and a month later I receive a bill and WHAM, there's a late charge.

Now...now I know to watch 'em.

internet service provider's customer survices are all pretty bad :/

Yes, because it's a freakin' trap in most places, you go with them or get no net!

... wait, wut?

Uh, no? Nonononono... all they hafta do is like... install the modem right?

Um, how about the first 6 months free for this fucktardry?

It's insanity. They are suppose to put in a home network because we have three computers that get on the internet!

[identity profile] celes-grant.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, it's not like you need a bunch of equipment for it. A router, and some intelligence, and three computer woooo

That's so unfair D< !! I'm really gonna miss your posts until then.

Hang in there, Sky-san :\

I'm hanging =/

It took two weeks to get phone service in my first apartment. It was an APARTMENT and I assume it was already wired up, but nonetheless it took 14 days to get that switch flipped.

I don't know why these companies do this, except that they have little or no competition, so they can.

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think, since the GF works for them that you know, they might put some effort into it =/

[identity profile] velvet-mace.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you know, that would be showing employees some kind of courtasy instead of treating them like the wage slaves they are.

*grinds teeth*

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2006-08-03 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Comcast has been known to do that. >.> but the speed is nice....

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
it better be XD

[identity profile] vanilla-scream.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
awww, sorry Sky *pats back*

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
thanks, I'm sure I'll live I'll just whine a lot

You know what my mother does when someone says they are going to take a long time (or just to get a little money shaved off something) she makes them something like cookies, bake ziti, bananana bread, her famous (at least to the people who have tried them) chicken enchalidas, or whatever is laying around. You know what happens after that the money you would have to pay for labor for the car is taken off the bill, we get a free week on whatever we are renting, or the move their butts just to please her. SO what I'm trying to say is that you should go down to the office (when you have time) and bring something with you and see how fast they get out there and set up your internet and phone. Hey it ALWAYS works for her. OH! and don't forget to flirt a little no matter what they look like that always helps. ^_^

sorry about the long post. -_-

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good idea, but my girlfriend works for these people XD so you'd think her being an employee might get them to move quicker XD

[identity profile] bamberbabe88.livejournal.com 2006-08-05 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
You would think.

*shoots the morons with paintballs from point-blank range*

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
why use paintballs? XD

[identity profile] azysapphy.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
because Paintballs are fun...and they make pretty colors when they splat. :D

[identity profile] azysapphy.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
that, and at point-blank, they hurt like hell.

It's been two weeks already! Who do you need to kill?

[identity profile] anax.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
You're dying and nobody knows about it, because you can't get on the internet! It's like the old days, when we were all alone in our homes and had to be physically close to other people to talk to them.

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
ACK!

Hey Mikke, you in Japan yet?

[identity profile] shuki-ai.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Comcast has been on my shit list since I moved down south. I have run into so many problems with them. *sigh* And I thought Time Warner was bad. Hope you get things worked out soon Sky!

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
yeah it SUCKS, but they aren't the only provider, just the cheapest one (for us), I could go back to bellsouth I suppose, at least they had descent customer service

[identity profile] shuki-ai.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, when I move at the end of this month I think I'm definitely going to look into other cable/internet providers. ~_~ Such a pain.

[identity profile] brinylon.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ditch them.

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-08-04 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
I would but they are so cheap for us!

[identity profile] brinylon.livejournal.com 2006-08-07 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Are you at least getting some sort of compensation for this kind of non-service?

[identity profile] tuffy77.livejournal.com 2006-08-05 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what's weird? I get really good service from them here in Chicago. Like same-day service calls and no hold times when I call tech support. I just don't get why it would vary so much.
