What in the name of Thor is wrong with Comcast? For the third straight night, our internet has gone down at exactly 9pm. Last night it was out for an hour and a half. The previous nights were about 30 and 45 minutes. Of course this happens conveniently a week after I renegotiate to lower our bill. Tonight I pull up support and they say it will be out until 1AM.

Quite frankly, this service is complete garbage. I hope someone in Washington gets fed up with it at some point and pulls the plug on localized monopolies. Then again, maybe all I need to do is move into THEIR neighborhoods. Best service in the world, I’m guessing.

An accurate picture of me trying to get Comcast to work for your time:

Well for one thing, they’re based in actual hell.

Be thankful. Mediacom is the only game in town here. $70/month for internet only. Lies! Secrets and lies!

I decided to cut out the HD cable and went with a roku sort of thing and bumped up my internet speed. I stayed with Comcast and and am getting over 200mbps and the bill will be a little less. It’s kind of nice

Yeah, when I was done with the live chat, I thanked the agent for being so nice and told her it was shame that the company she worked for was the pure spawn of satan.

I cut it 4 years ago. I keep a slingbox at the folks house for live sports.

My Comcast is firing tonight. I just upgraded to my own new hardware. I have sling tv too so I can watch the golf channel. It’s pretty much all I watch Thursday through Sunday. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

Damn! Does that include all the re-runs of Klondike Gold?

(I don’t have a TV and won’t be buying one anytime soon)

Want to learn something “interesting” (read: “fucking bullshit”) about Comcast? Watch the documentary “Killswitch” on Netflix. I knew from personal experience years ago that the company sucks, but it’s worse than that.

I don’t have TV. That’s just 200 megabit internet.
