Re: its a joke

I wasn't a part of the outage and haven't had an outage in a long time. Comcast does a great job of keeping thier network up. Incidents like yesterdays do happen and they are unfortunate, but remember that its up the rest of the time...

A praise for Comcast - who could've imagined it?

On that note - they charge too much. Bleh.

Re: its a joke

dont praise them, they dont deserve it! its things like this that make me want to get my own t3 line plugged directly into my computer so i dont have to fuss with Comcrap. just wish i had the money, wait i pay just as much to comcast for the equivlent of a dial-up connection.....i will say i've found a few good techs that i always go back to when i have problems. but listen, i live in michigan and they are the only HSI that i can get, the DSL CO is toooo far away and theres no other cable providers. comcast bought mediaOne years back and then they up'd the price! does anyone yet still know what happened yesterday? i dont even think the techs know! 40bucks for tv/net each......and they cant even keep me online for 24hours straight.

Why don't you? If it makes more sense and economical value to you then go for it.

I'm in S. Shore MA and I didn't have any problems either. I have had slow access to some sites including Yahoo! though.

if you are paying over 60 dollars for comcast internet and basic cable, you should call comcast immediately!! ask to talk to their retention department and tell them that you will switch to another service (sbc, directv, etc.) if they do not lower your price. This always works for me and its worth it to give it a try.
