That could be anybody on the couch. How do we know it was a Comcast technician? Because the anonymous person who posted it says so? |

Agreed. Show some proof this is a Comcast employee. |

Group of anonymous name-changing users ponder legitimacy; news at 11.
I suppose it's possible he threw a cable modem box and a laptop on a friend and told him to nap in some elaborate Verizon funded viral PR assault, but really.... |

Proof please? Clipboard with work order? Comcast truck outside? Anything?

It could be this person's friend on the couch for all we know...still it's funny to think about it though. I know some of those field guys are overworked, so I can't really say I blame him...but not on the customers couch. At least go back to the van or something...IF this really was a comcast tech.

i think he was on the customer's phone with the comcast 800 number to provision the new modem.
pretty sad if they put a tech on hold, you would think they would have a special number solely for field techs to call.

That's a pretty relaxed dress code for a cable company too.
I know when I have had the cable techs out, they have all been in uniform, which included pants.

...IF this is real..
goes to show you that even techs have to wait on hold for hours.. that is just not right..
(wonder if he got a lvl 1 'script reader' and had to jump thru all his hoops before getting connected to the 'techs' rep.)

Melrose, MA | Very interesting...
When I've had Comcast over for service, the techs (actually contractors) had pretty relaxed dress codes. When they had to call Comcast, I'm pretty sure they dialed a special number because they got right through to a person to activate the boxen. |

There was a person on here who claimed to be a Comcast tech who said that if he ever had a customer filming him with a video camera, he would pack up all his tools and leave the job without doing anything. IF this is true, guess the guy had no choice. 
Now, another thing. I have had a few visits by Comcast and NOT ONCE have they ever sat down in my house or apartment. They always stood or went on one knee. One helper did sit on the stairs but that was it. |

I've had a Cox cable tech come out to do test on my brother's line, and the dude had on jeans, t-shirt, and a flaming Harley Davidson cap. No uniform, or anything signifying him as a cable tech. Only the fact he showed up in a Cox van let me know for sure. |

The tech had his own cell phone, "the call" he made took all of 30 seconds. Total time he was here, 15 minutes(had to make a longer lead in my room, for free!).
BTW, that's a messed up A/C in the window there! LOL!
