Howie,

You must be a Comcast suck up… Comcast is THE WORST service provider…. just as bad a sprint. The service is just as bad as the customer service… “get off your fat ass’s and do something productive in you community instead of wasting our time on these forums” ???? If it weren’t for people expressing their experiences with comcast that no one would know how horrible they are. I have had both…and can say the comparison is to that of apples and oranges. Comcast is a poor excuse for a service provider…period. Their actions & service speak for themselves….

Seriouslly, in a few years you will all be bashing fios just like you bash comcast. Maybe You guys should get off your fat ass’s and do something productive in you community instead of wasting our time on these forums.

Hi, I also live in Ellicott City, but live in a new development all prewired for Comcast. But I am still going to switch to Verizon FIOS in August when my Comcast contract is up. I tried to negotiate a lower price from Comcast, but they wouldn’t budge. A significant number of my neighbors here in the community have also switched to FIOS; I have seen the picture quality and it is terrific. I had no idea theat Comcast had open boxes all over the place, and that your service was so bad. I personally have had good service from Comcast, but it is not enough to keep me from switching.

Now I can appreciate all of the Comcast bashing, but let’s give every provider a chance. I have Charter Com as my only cable option. Up until last fall I was quite happy with my MOXI DVR. However, I felt the need to replace it when it took up smoking (a very bad habit). It was replaced with the new statndard DVR (too cheap to pay for HD). Since then, I’ve been randomly losing sound. Four times they have been out only to 1.) Blame the TV: IT’S PLUGGED INTO AN AUDIO SYSTEM!!!! 2.) Replace the wire from the road to the house: Nothing. 3.) Blame the TV again: the “Installer” actually had the nerve to tell me next time he has to come out for this he’s charging. 4.) Blame my Electrical System: My Father-in-Law is an electrician and we re-wired the whole thing. Anyway, Direct TV is looking pretty good.

[...] realize that this isn’t the worst cable install ever. There aren’t cables draping across sidewalks and nor is there a spiderweb of them hanging all over. It’s hard to blame Charter directly [...]

Oh, I think I can compete with this. Although there are no visuals. Yet.

This isn’t typical of Comcast? I beg to differ.

We had a sprinkler system installed this summer. and during the installation a Comcast cable was cut. Miss Utility missed the marking the cable line coming through my yard to a neighbor’s house, but they marked an older cable that had been previously cut a few years ago.

Comcast sent someone out the next morning to install a new cable which was simply laid straight across my front lawn. Luckily it was long enough to drag out to the edge of the street, where it lay for 4 months despite repeated calls and letters. When they finally came out to bury the cable, they conveniently cut the cable to a neighbor on the other side of my house.

Needless to say, the team installing the Verizon FiOS cable got a good laugh at the Comcast cable laying in the street, and Verizon is getting the last laugh as my neighbors have been signing up for FiOS in droves. I am happy to report that I am a Verizon FiOS customer as well.

We have Comcast, but only because we have ZERO other option in our area for cable internet.

“Comcast tech support, how may I help you?”

“…………..”

“You say you traced your faulty cable connection back to a dead leaf?”
