Re: IMHO.. Honestly, I don't think you could be any more mistaken.
Comcast is a company that has proven themselves time and time again the last decade first by spending billions on their fiber rollouts and secondly..with everything else they've done to improve and innovate.
We're talking about a company here that just this year has taken me as a cable subscriber from the approximately 4Mb speeds I was seeing..to over 20Mb now with powerboost.
And..a company that has in a very short amount of time..now built what is the nations 4th largest phone company.
From scratch.
As for Docsis 3.0..there is absolutely nothing in Comcasts recent past to suggest that it won't be here soon..and in the quantities and numbers spoken several times in the last few months by none other than their own CEO.
Comcast..is DOING..what companies like AT&T can only dream about.
Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Are there some unhappy customers? Absolutely.
But..looking at them as a company..and as a whole..it's hard to see anything except a company that is dramatically innovating. A company that is really going places..and providing some outstanding service and products to their customers.
I'd suggest that if you're really looking for a company that isn't doing that..that you look no further than AT&T.
Now there is a company with a decade of nothing but missteps beneath them. A company refusing to spend the money to do the job that needs to be done. A company that delivers such inconsistent service across the board..that it's almost mind numbing how they even remain in business. A company of maybe you can get it..maybe you can't. Maybe it'll be 768k..maybe 1.5Mb..don't forget the overhead..and don't even try to think too hard about that old copper they hope to deliver hdtv..voice and hsi on. Now that is a company that really needs the work.
But..instead..you find fault with this one. The company giving me and most others 20Mb + speeds..for a fraction of the price of what it would cost at&t to do the same..if they even could. AT&T's service is a dog compared to this.
I'm sorry to have to say it so bluntly..but the facts are a fact. And if they won't change it.then i'll keep on saying it.
But..feel free to criticize Comcast if you must.
Why on Earth you see fit to do so however...is really beyond me.
We..their customers..WANT them to protect our network from abuse. And, if that impacts the 4% of customers who don't see it that way..then so be it. Comcast should cut them off..or shut them down. If they can't play by the very fair rules..they don't get to play at all.
And it's exactly how it should be.
Enjoy your service.

| You know, if you have to defend your side that hard, it must not have that much behind it.
Face it, Powerboost is not the end all be all and you never answered the question as to why I only got it part time.
The more you pull the company line, the more your credibility shrinks because an employee touting his own service is expected. A customer who doesn't work for the company is a way better judge because they have nothing to lose if the company goes south. |

Dear Rick,
I have read your amusing, highly entertaining overwrought missives frantically defending the farce which is Comcast. I want to thank you for lightening up the gray days of winter. You're a hoot!
However, as you already know, your online advertising has become a laughingstock. One would think a site MVM would know better, or at least put some thought into it. This latest one reads like the landfill fodder I get in the mail from Comcast every week.
Let's take a look at where you are failing:
You are asked to prove that you are actually paying what you claim is the cost of your service ($42.95) without any added fees or upsells like the cost of the underlying digital cable. You respond with McDonalds menu boards.
And cable TV premium channels nobody asked you about.
And add-on cable TV equipment nobody asked you about.
And telephone services nobody asked you about.
And then you are back to McDonalds again. You must be obsessed with Ronald. Or maybe the Hamburgler.
Cigarettes? Really?
Milk? Bread?
You certainly don't seem to be able to answer the question, probably because you were caught in a lie. A BIG FAT SMELLY LIE.
Nobody asked you to "go a la carte". You were asked what the true cost of your service is. You don't answer because you can't without exposing your LIE.
In fact, it appears that everything you post is a LIE.
Now, is that really what a site "most valuable member" should be doing? Writing corporate PR pieces and posting them to site comment threads? Maybe you aren't really a MVM.
We are still waiting for your justification of Comcast breaking the basic underlying networking protocol of the Internet merely and solely to increase corporate profits. If Comcast were truly worried about Cable Hogs saturating nodes they would do something about the thousands of spam bots they nurture.
So, Rick, it seems that your position as the #1 Comcast shill could be in jeopardy, since even shills need factual backup. You evidently have none. But please keep up the entertaining posts. We all laugh at you every time we see one.
Love,
RadioDoc
