 kyler13Is your fiber grounded? join:2006-12-12 Arnold, MD | Sometimes it doesn't work I tried this with Comcast back in September and got the stiff arm. I simply told them I was considering the competition (FIOS) and that I wanted a better deal than the full rate I was paying. All I got was a) bashing FIOS, b) suggestions of the obvious: reduce my level of service, and c) reasonably trying to direct me to a "triple play" package, which I wasn't interested in since I don't use home phone service (told the rep that). I was told, nothing else could be done. I simply said thanks, hung up, and called Verizon. Returned my box a couple weeks later to the county office and never heard from them again until a couple weeks ago when a door-to-door rep came knocking. He tried to sell me up and down. I told him I had problems with Comcast, didn't feel like they were addressed properly, and I'm completely happy with my current service. I wasn't looking to save a buck at this point. At that point he just handed me a brochure and said think about it, said thanks, and went on his way. I recycled the brochure.  |
