Comcast's Massive Public Image Makeover
A kinder, friendlier Comcast...

Comcast's public image has taken quite a beating the past few years, for things like their technicians' tendency to make bad headlines and their throttling of BitTorrent, to their use of consumer stand ins at a net neutrality hearing and the "hammer granny" episode. It's pretty clear that 2009 not only involves serious DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades, but Comcast attempting to improve their tarnished image, part of which involves a friendlier face over at Twitter and elsewhere. Advertising Age also explores how they've launched a new ad campaign aimed at crafting a funnier, friendlier public face via this advertisement. Of course Comcast's ads have been pretty funny and strange for years now, and it hasn't helped -- or as grandma used to say: actions speak louder than words.

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.
