It's not like, they suggested a tech and you guys didn't want to see if there was something else you could do? Only say that because modems are actually pretty simple, they either work or they don't. No up-and-down stuff. That is 99.99% of the time going to be a signal/RF issue getting to the modem, and requires a technician to fix. They never have. They make us power cycle, and when it doesn't work, they tell us to buy a new modem. When we tell them we have have bought a million modems, they put us on hold. We are generally on hold so long we hang up. | ||

I want another isp so desperately, yet only comcast is available in my region. I can't afford satellite broadband either. I usually get about 1-10 mb/s, and the internet doesn't even work half the time. I'm so angry right now I just punched my table and hurt my hand. Fuck comcast. Fuck you. I hope you go bankrupt and die. Well, uh, thanks? Anyways, despite the craptacular attitude, I am willing to help if you want it. | ||

It should take any rep about 30 seconds to set one up. What area do you live in? | ||

Swapping the modem out isn't going to do anything in your case (as you already found out).  | ||

But after like an hour of trying to figure out why my modem constantly resets, all they could tell me was that from where they were, I'm not even online. And they offered to send out a tech, but told me they can only do it on Mondays. which is not helpful. Ive gotten over the disconnecting problem. I just dont care anymore. It kind of sucks when I want to play LoL though. I'd try calling back again. It could be at that particular time we only had Mondays available? We run appointments 7 days a week in most areas (some areas are closed on Sundays). | ||

Im not too pumped to go through the whole exercise again anyway. | ||

All in all, I had no huge problem with them over the past 5 years and the only reason I want fios is for faster speed and no outage once or twice a year to worry about. Comparing this experience to what you guys went through, I consider myself very lucky. | ||

The other part of it for me though is that my brother actually works for them as well, so I totally get EvilTeletubbys side (sooo much unwarrented hate towards comcast, its a huge company and of course some individual people suck). That and if I ever cannot get the answers I need from customer service I can just call my brother and he can answer me sans-bullshit. Its Comcastic!!! For me... | ||

Cablevision or FiOS is pretty common in almost every part. Comcast isn't even an option. | ||

ETT Tofu is angry 23.5/7 so I should hope you expected this kind of blog just based on the title alone...including the tone of the rest of the posts in here, haha. I'm not taking any high ground though, I hate Cox customer service because they screwed me a few times too many (plus a lot of random outages..), woohoo superficial hatred. went Verizon FIOS though, 40d/20u was too much to pass. I don't even think I have comcast in my neighborhood. PS COME TO DINNER TONIGHT!! Flamewheel gonna be there | ||
