What I AM saying is that the type of screw up that occurred happens probably every day somewhere in the country with every company of its type, whether telco, sat, or cable. However, the people who report the news here pick Comcast or TWC out of all of them to post about on the front page.
I remember when people were complaining that their flower gardens were being disturbed and destroyed by Verizon's contractors installing FiOS. The news team here decided to make a satire out of it, making fun of those people who were complaining. "FiOS destroyed my Geraniums" (HAHA). The mood of the story was that these people shouldn't whine because such things are part of progress.
But, if Comcast cuts limbs off of a tree while working in the right-of-way while maintaining or upgrading their plant, there would be no humor implanted anywhere. "Comcast destroyed my yard and cut down my trees!" (No HAHA).
Verizon took over 5 days to repair my phone service and I have 2 small kids with no cell service at my home. I posted about it in the forums, so why didn't the DSLR news people report it? Because it wasn't news. That stuff happens everywhere all of the time with all different types of services. Plus, it wasn't Comcast. |

Get serious... if Comcast cut a tree limb, the headline here would be, "Comcast deforesting America -- could they be the cause of global warming?" |

You can't say this site is "un-biased" about Comcast. They keep hitting the front page over stuff that EVERY cable provider has issues with. This article is NOTHING NEW to ANY provider. When they wrote the article about Verizon defying the whole "cable card" box thing, they never said "tisk tisk tisk". The same crap happens to the telco's too. Remember when the news article mentioned that they contractors for Verizon kept hitting gas lines in South Florida while installing FiOS. Whatever happened to that, did they get fined? No one will ever know. The only reason it hit the front page it because they were required by the city to HALT ALL ACTIVITIES until they could figure out how to dig a hole. Lord knows what else they've done wrong, because this site is too busy with their nose up Comcast's ass. I want to know what else is going on in the world, not just with Comcast.

Too funny... but don't you think the headline would have read "comcast responsible for global warming?"  |
