Re: Not for long

At what point does "just a few minutes" become "too long of a period of time"? If 5 minutes isn't enough, is 10? 15? 30? If you can wait 5 minutes, I'd think 60 minutes shouldn't be too much more. It's only cable. It's not like it's life or death.

Comcast made a commitment by specifying a appointment time. The least they can do is honor their commitment, or if they can't give the person ample notice that they are running late or can't make it.

Re: Not for long

And the proper, reasonable response is to call the front-line number for assistance, not to use inside information to bypass normal procedures because you feel you're "entitled".

The second the hand ticks outside the promised appointment window.

They are a business and they made a commitment to arrive within a window of time agreed to by both parties. If they see they are going to fail to make the window they have an obligation to notify the customer in a timely manner and make new arrangements and if necessary kick the customer back to sales as a save and let installation take a ding for the resulting discounts incurred or the loss of new subscriber.

An installation appointment is a commitment and usually the first commitment a company makes with a new customer failing that first commitment is no way to do business.

Not having been in the cable business I cannot understand why it has become a truism that the cable guy is always late but it would seem looking at it from my side of the house they cannot get a handle on how to balance load vs. force. We do it with both maintenance and installation under one roof. IMO in the cable world it would be even easier as most times they subcontract out installation and do maintenance in house sparing the install side from the after the thunderstorm etc. maintenance load.
