They had started charging me rent for the modem I bought, and I have been a Comcast customer all along! Had I not saved the paperwork from 6 Years ago, I would have been in deep do-do ... because they said when they switched systems, they could not find any record of my having bought the modem in teh first place.

Actually if YOU read the article you would have seen "This isn't an Adelphia issue, as customers who've always been with Comcast face the same problem." So it's a Comcast issue. Probably just another way for them to make some extra money. Slip that fee on the bill and hope the customer doesn't notice. If they do then simply say "oops, sorry we'll take that right off." |

"The word "tool" may be used as an insult, describing someone who is being used by an establishment willingly (as a sycophant), or unwillingly (as one who blindly conforms). Alternatively, the insult tool can imply that a person is unable (or unwilling) to form an independent opinion on a given topic."

There is a brand of CATV tools called CableTool |

There is one little flag in boxfile that tells if its a Comcast modem or a customer owned modem. When the idiots that do the data migrations into cabledata add a corp or combine corps they always seem to screw something up with the rate codes. Wouldnt you think they would check boxfile to see verify which modem the customers have?
Nope... Lets just make more work for the call centers because they were to lazy and sloppy to verify the data migrations.
This happens EVERY time Comcast takes over another provider and the customers suffer in the end for it.
Let some real people that know Oracle do your data migrations instead of causing your new customers to hate you over not having their information correct. |

I have worked telco for 40yrs- all the records can be wrong at times, but billing records rarely are- if they can get the buck they will. Sounds like Comcast is looking to get a little "free" cash then say I'm sorry but it was their (Adelphia's) fault. |
