Hopefully Comcast has struck their last blow, at least to me. The rest of you beware. In my previous message I detailed the picture, sound and poor (actually non-existant) service I received from Comcast Cable out of Norcross Georgia. The saga continues; upon canceling my service I was told I would have to return the equipment (I grant them that). When I asked if they could pick it up an appointment was scheduled. Another three hour window of opportunity for Comcast. I was scheduled for 8 am to 11 am on a day in August, 2006. Naturally I had to take off another half day from work to wait for the "service call" (talk about an oxymoron)from Comcast. Around 8:30 I called to make sure they actually had me down for an appointment, as I have been stood up in the past. The nice lady that answered assured me that I was scheduled and the tech would be there between 5 and 8 pm. It was lucky I called. I rushed home from work to make sure I was there prior to my "appointment window", and called once again to confirm the time. Keep in mind the wait time on the phone is 15 to 30 minutes. Comcast assured me that I did indeed have an appointment that evening, between 5 and 8. At 8:30 pm I called to see if they forgot me and was told that the tech was still on the call prior to mine, and that he would get there. At 11:00 pm I went to bed, but I put the equipment in a plastic bag outside my garage door, and called Comcast to tell them. I was told at this time that the tech would still get there. The next morning I found the bag in my driveway, untouched and no sign that anyone had been there. A call to Comcast confirmed that the tech did come to my house, and disconnected the cable at the street, around 11:30 pm. They knew nothing about picking up the equipment. I gave up and returned the equipment to the Comcast office. They beat me, I can't take anymore and just the mention of Comcast raises my blood pressure. So I am just going to relax and enjoy my digital XXXX system. Which, by the way, has picture and sound at the same time. Also the service has been great.
