(Comcast Live Chat Survey)

If there is anything else you would like to share about your online shopping or chat experience,
Please enter your comments below.

----------

I am... amused, at your company's inability to simply allow one to sign up for service. Hey, person reading this comment: I'm sorry that you have to endure the process of reading comments. Wow that must be a tough job. I guess what I'm here to say is, don't let the Comcast negativity here get you down in real life. Sure, people wind up in this inbox because they had a bad time, but in real life they may just be having a bad day and had to endure a 45 minute chat session that they expected to result in an error and did. If you are in Philadelphia I think you should enjoy a Tastykake and have a better day once you get off work.

so, error on the comment as well.

how fitting.

I fired Comcast years ago and I've **NEVER** looked back. I have the greatest sympathy for you UT. Good luck.

Perhaps there are other options in your area (I know you know your stuff in this area) like Clearwire or the phone company for DSL? Pony express would be better than Comcast. Good luck man.

You said there was a student apartment building very close. You should drive by and sniff for unsecured wifi. Maybe you don't need to pay for anything at all.

Four days ago I used Verizon's online system to check for availability of FIOS. It told me there is no FIOS service to my new place. I clicked on the "notify me when service is available" button and sadly went off to attempt to get Comcast.

As you know, Comcast then completely whiffed on making me a customer with their horrible and repeated incompetence. But without any options, I was prepared to visit a Service Center on Friday and get my needs addressed.

Today I get an email.



And a song pops in my head.

Once in a while from out of nowhere
When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared
Somebody will come and lift you higher
And your burdens will be shared
Yes I do believe, if I hadn't met you
I might still be sinking fast
I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

Gone, gone, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last

-- Paul Simon

I have comcast (no other cable choice) where I live now ... everything you've heard is true *shudder*. I get better bandwidth at Starbucks or McD's. And I have a contract ...

Exactly, that's why I kept the house.

Then after everything is moved, find a place in the clutter to make a nest where you can sleep. Get up tomorrow, racked with pain, and realize Pearl and life need attention, it's got to be organized. Sucks.

Do you have heat?
