just got comcast....

[Shadow99]

We got new interwebz and tv today. Tech that came didnt even have his pants up all the way (thug life), so I knew this was going to be good. I cleaned out a decent amount of stuff around the area I knew he would be at. But he still found a way to knock a ton of stuff over: a lamp, a light bulb that was safely away from the edge of the desk, and my nice personally bought modem. Does he pick any of that stuff up? Nope. Also it was nice of him to leave all the cable clippings all over my floor. Internet wise i have 50mbps which is very nice. Tv is ok still getting used to. But one tv doesnt have sound. And looks like we didnt get HD...Looking at the remotes that they gave us, theyre of course used. And by used I mean they look like a gang of badgers ate them and then shit them back out off a cliff and into white water rapids. Theyre coming back tomorrow.....

Comcast contractors FTW lol

I've actually had good luck with the tech guys that have come here. Most have been intelligent, courteous, decent people. It's the customer service that is always 100% shit.

 

[BillyBru]

Prepare to get bent over. Just had my first year pass and they are raising the rate like $40. It's either that or spend $10 more for a better package. Internet is always at 25-30mbps while we are paying for the 50mbps. My roommate called and complained but nothing was done. They suck.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

I just have the 25 Mbps internet and always get 29mbps. I have dish so can't speak on the tv part.

 

[BillyBru]

I'm jealous.

 

[Tight Lines]

I have them coming out tomorrow. Been battling a pixelation issue for awhile. I will bring a belt for the tech.

I signed with Comcast Xfinity when they offered me a two year $99 a month deal for cable and interwebs. 105 MBPS, HBO to go, Comcast to go (or whatever it's called), 200+ channels. Price stays the same for the entire length of the contract.

Xfinity is great. To go is even better. I don't bother using my TV unless I want a big screen picture. Nearly all shows are available on my phone or computer which has Onkyo/Klipsch/Subwoofer surround in my home office. Shows are available the day after they air on TV. I watch all night on the weekend without having to record anything.

Total price is around $134 a month with four TVs.

Stupid question, do you have a DOCSYS 2.0 modem or 3.0 modem?

A DOCSYS 2.0 modem Cannot pull down over 30Mbps. If you have Comcast supplied equipment, they are/were supposed to upgrade it for free, otherwise you are due a hefty refund if you are paying for 50mbps and they provided DOCSYS 2.0 hardware.....

 

[Flyn]

I tried both my older 3.0 modem and the Comcast modem. Returned the piece of crap Comcast modem the next day.

Who did you have to touch in dirty place to get this?! Sounds like its going really well for you at least.

Today we still have no tech to come out. Called and they said theres a record of us calling, but no record of sending someone out to use today...... They offered to pay for a month of service. Uh how about come out and fix our shit? And now I saw he cut a line that we personally installed in the house to go to another room. Which goes through the ceiling of the downstairs, and comes up the floor to the 2nd floor.

Besides the internet being great, Im ready to cancel.

 

[importcrew]

Cancelled them a long time ago. Kept the internet although had to pay about 80/month for 50mbps down since they refused to give me any deals unless I did double/triple play. Since I'm not at my house for the time being, I cancelled without hesitation. Also have Direct TV which I like a lot better than comcast.

 

[Shadow99]

Sadly I just left direct tv.

 

[spuhala]

I hate Comcast and I have had nothing but issues after upgrading to their new X1 crap, I want to switch to directv and just keep Comcast's internet.

Was this your first contract as a new customer ever? How long ago was this? If not, who did you give a reach around to and what other favors did you do? :lol:

I've never heard of Comcast offering a deal like that. The 105 MBPS alone is $89.99 a month without TV/Phone. We pay over $165 a month for Cable, 105 MBPS internet and phone since it is cheaper to have a triple play plan than not.

10 years with Comcast and we are still paying out the ass for it. At least the internet is good and consistent.

 

[wombat]

I had a deal at the apartment, hbo starz cinemax, redzone, 105mb internet, 1 DVR for $110 (with tax = $125ish per month) for a 12 month contact. Went up to $119 after that. Not bad

I now pay $109 for HBO + Redzone plus whatever other tv channels I get with the package and 50mbs internet.

 

[RICH17]

I enjoy WOW even tho its not the fastest and most high tech internet. And they're super nice as well. Fuck comcasts horror stories

 

[syP]

all this complaining about comcast.. and im just sitting over here liek: loving my flawless 105Mbps internet and TV with absolutely no issues at all.

The best Comcast techs I've had the pleasure of working with are the ones that rip on and talk shit about Comcast as a company along with you, the customer

Yep, every time I've ever dealt with a tech, it's always been a third party contractor talking shit about Comcrap while getting my service up.

 

[CuzzinOlaf]

I had issues with my wireless and called them this weekend. All they did was change the name of my wifi and now it works fine. I need to check which modem I have to see if I need the upgrade. I had it installed in July of 2013 and am on the X1 platform.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Permanent fix: buy your own router. Change 2.4G channel from 6 to something else. Change 5G channel from 11 to something else. Name the networks FBI Pedo Van. Bask in IT gloriousness.

I used "GSPOT" for a while. I would always tell whoever was visiting to look for the GSPOT.

I always chuckled.

 

[FESTER665]

My only complaint with Comcast is the price... Called a few weeks ago and got faster internet and their "triple play" package for $50 less per month then my previous bill...

They sent a new modem that adds the phone line, but it's just sitting in the box and I'm still using the 6120 surfboard I've had forever...
