G4 & Comcast: Are You F&%King Kidding Me?

[Okan]

That's exactly it also. I also, though briefly (LOL fired after a week for being 3 minutes late) worked for Comcast in Everett, WA and they only support WA and northern OR.

And just as Khamsin said, they actually WANT you to credit people if they call to complain. It's part of their customer first thing here. It really wasn't a bad experience and they all wanted to be friendly, well to their customers. A buddy got fired because of his father's death and family plans, they wouldn't give him enough time and he didn't show. It's actually classified as voluntary resignation.

Any calls from anyone that came from out of our region was one of a few possibilities... overflow and we were tasked to handle it or mistakes.

And anyone with Comcast should do these things:
Call at least once a month to check deals. You'd be surprised at how often they have a deal like "Double your connect speed for 3 months free" or "Pick a premium channel for 6 months free" or some crazy crap like that. And it's non-contracted so you can call at the end to cancel it before they start billing for those additions for no additional charge.

ANYTIME you lose service, call and complain. They'll just say "Sorry, let me credit your account" and you get 1-3 days of credit back for any outage regardless of whose fault it is.

I worked for G4 all last summer and heard earlier this month that they laid off a bunch of people that also worked there. Maybe they'll be able to have better programs with the new management? Not sure.

That would be nice. There's certainly room for a network targeted at nerds/gamers, but at the moment I only find about 90 minutes a day of G4 to be watchable(AoTS/X-Play block).

G4 used to be the shit back in back in 2002 when it was a separate network from Tech Tv. Everything seemed to go to hell after the merge and now you got a network that shows 18 hours of syndicated crap and 2 hours of biased gaming.

I used to have Comcast as my ISP. Once I was having internet trouble like the OP described, and so I called Comcast customer service. I was treated with such rudeness from the customer service rep that I talked to that I asked to close my account right then and there. I've been with Qwest ever since and have been problem-free.

Sometimes I forget that there are still a few people on this forum that play ffxi. When I saw ffxi in the first sentence I decided that the article wasn't worth reading and that it was probably a bitchfest about something, since the game has such a huge playerbase and whatever the problem is actually affects everyone everywhere.

Then I saw something about comcast sucking, and in my area comcast is amazing, no connection problems or anything. The only gripe is no Fiber optics yet. G4 does suck though. 3/10

It was a bitchfest about something.
