kudos:18 | Looks fine to me! Sorry if this irks anybody but, tough!
Comcast is fine!
All my services deliver at, and above, the claimed and expected levels.
Sorry if I don't jump on the Bash Comcast wagon... my services runs fine!
If, as some of you say, Comcast sucks, call in!
I'm sure they will drop you if you ask.
Regardless if there is another "viable" provider, it doesn't make any sense to keep paying for crap service if that is what you are getting.
*I* certainly wouldn't keep paying for crap.
I would rather do without instead of paying for poor service just for a reason to complain.
But that's just me, YMMV.

AT&T doesn't serve you?
No VZ?
No other telco?

How is this stopping DSL?
How is this stopping Dish?
Here, it's AT&T that's stopping(scaring?) Verizon from deploying anything.
Has nothing to do with Comcast.

No other telco? To answer your questions for the twentieth time probably. This is just my opinion, of course.
1. It is Comcast's fault for having a poor customer service attitude knowing that there is no choice for customers that need broadband in some areas. They know there is no alternative, so they do not care. Simple to understand, no ?
2. For manipulating the rules to prevent other cable companies to do an over build.

1 edit | And yet another time, Comcast has nothing to do with AT&T or any other telco not servicing your area.
As soon as you realize this, *maybe* we can all rest a bit from your tirade.
Answer this, please:
If Comcast is so bad, why do you still pay them?
Don't give me the no competition BS, that is *NOT* Comcast's fault.
Tell me why you don't get DSL.

1 edit | DSL is not available in my area. Neither is FiOS. The competing cable co cannot do an overbuild due to franchise regulations (yes, it is apparently an anomaly ins ome regions of Texas).
So I pay Comcast because there is no alternative for high speed Internet access. No, satelite and 3G are not good enough.
Clear ?

Ok, now please describe, in detail, how it's Comcast's fault there is no DSL available.
Comcast seen fit to either buy out an existing cableco and continue service or rolled out their own lines and you have something.
Go bitch about AT&T/Bell South/whomever somewhere, it's them you should be annoyed at.
They don't see your area as worthwhile apparently.

Really? FIOS goes where they think they will make more money. Where I live, we have Comcast and WOW for cable, U-Verse, DirectTV, Dish and plain old DSL. It's like this all over Michigan. |

| reply to dadkins
Comcast has the only cable business in my city. There is NO Verizon becaue it is AT&T country. There is no AT&T because the infrastructure is 30+ years old. Hell I have a 11k Ft run from a RT to the maxxe dout CO and another 1K ft run between the RT and the F1 box in my neighborhood for AT&T DSL so its a smidge better than Covad at 12.4K. No Uverse and no upgrades in sight for this area in the near future. WHY- NO COMPETITION for the incumbents and a monopoly on cable service. Will we ever see the 16/2 that Comcast is delivering in areas of the US where they have competition- possibly but I'm not counting on it. Until the various companies that rule the Internet business spend some capital on upgrading the infrastructure we'll not be in any danger of exceeding any CAPS that are being thrown around. Hopefully they will bring the 21st century Internet to my neck of the woods before I no longer have a need for Internet or HD-TV on demand. |

Go bitch about AT&T/Bell South/whomever somewhere, it's them you should be annoyed at. They don't see your area as worthwhile apparently. It is not CC's fault there is no DSL available. The area is sparsely populated. It is CC's fault that the franchise they have prevents Entouch to do an overbuild, Entouch being 2 miles away.
If you use the DSL argument, it is not CC's fault that the University of Oregon that is 4000 miles away does not provide service for free here, either. It is a strawman argument. It does not resolve the issue that the only other provider that would offer service here, cannot due to the franchise. Oh, sure, it must be the city's fault.
Tell me, Mr. Adkins, does CC ever do anything wrong, ever, in your opinion ?

Saint Paul, MN | What are satellite and 3g? Providers.
If it's not worth it why do you have it? It must be worth it otherwise you wouldn't have it. |

I have it because it is the only viable choice. I consider it terrible because of its limitations, so it is not worth it to me.

Since it seems that your idea is to "bitch" at providers that do not see worthwhile to service the area, should I also complain to Deutsche Telekom ? Why not "bitch" at those that prevent others to service my area, when those others see it as worthwhile ? Which one is more logical ?

Hopefully they will bring the 21st century Internet to my neck of the woods before I no longer have a need for Internet or HD-TV on demand. But you rail against cable monopoly yet you don't rail against ATT's telephone monopoly. You would think ATT would invest in your heavily populated area and reap many DSL customers and get the bulk of the available revenue. By not competing, ATT is allowing Comcast to pocket all those customers.
I do not think that is necessarily Comcast's fault. |
