Heading to the Left Coast.
This has to be a quickie, because I am using Ken’s (my bodyguard’s) computer. Why, you ask? It is because I again have no internet access. I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with a Comcast support person, who couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get online, because, according to her, my modem is fine. I think all the noodling around at her direction may have made things worse. The wind up is that Comcast will come to The House by the Parkway on Wednesday and I will be offline until then.
As it happens, Wednesday is OK, because I am heading off to the Left Coast tomorrow (business) and will return Tuesday evening.
The Young lady at Comcast was very nice, and I assured her that I understood that my connectivity problems were not her fault I did ask her to remind her management that, for me, Verizon FIOS is one phone call away.
Anyway, I have to get ready for an early morning flight.
Play nice.
Gah — the Left Coast? Why would you even go to that awful den of dhimmitude, where people regularly make caca on our flag and march in pro-Palestine/anti-Israel rallies wearing Arafat-like keffiyahs on their necks / around their heads?
Oh, don’t answer that. Just curious, though: At what level of galloping customer dissatisfaction do you think Comcast will decide to get its shit in one sock and improve its crappy service which nobody likes?

Why do you have a bodyguard? Are you hunted?

I think it’s WELL past time for you to call Verizon for FIOS. I expect you’ll be ever so much happier — not only with the service, but the speed.

Listen to DMerriman! You need to change and the unreliability of Comcast is unacceptable!!!! Have fun on the left coast. We’ll miss you.

I second DMerriman’s and T’s suggestions, Jim. Seriously, screw Comcast, man. They just aren’t performing, and we don’t reward bad behavior, do we? No, we don’t.

Tell everybody over there Tommy said hello.
Then take a swing at them.
They’ll know why.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
I will make sure that the service call is completed successfully on Wednesday. I can also reach out to my contacts and see if we can send out a tech sooner than Wednesday.
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in my assistance.
