With TV out isn't it quiet. My wife and I are getting re-acquainted. Perhaps we should play monopoly or chess maybe gin rummy

concerning those people in Washington

Comcast better watch it we could get very use to the quiet

Yep, Comcast television went out about 4:30 here in Glenbrook (black panther territory). I called Comcast right away and the customer support tech said he would send out a service tech in a couple of days and charge me up to $60. I told him I was charging Comcast $20 per hour for every hour the service was out. He asked why. I told him because I could. He voluntarily said he would adjust the bill for one day's service. I told him okay but I was still charging Comcast $20 per hour. It is fun messing with their minds since their replies are all on script cards.

Did they speak English or were you talking to someone located in Bangladesh?

Ours is out in Mira Mesa .like the idea of getting a rebate for the time we don't have cable. Said it should be on by 9:00pm.

I actually cheated & called the TTY line to find out the REAL story. Major outage from feeder in Lake County. Currently 6 personnel on site. Per Comcast Rep, notes state this is an unplanned outage with no ETR (estimated time of repair). I guess those 28 yrs in telecom industry do come in handy at times....and like the OP, I'm not happy to lose all service on a rainy Friday evening.
And NO, we will not get "automatic" credit for outage. You have to ASK for credit!!!

Comcast now saying it will be back at 10:12 pm. Odd number?

Whats new? In the Michigan market they used to run ads stating that Dish would go out every time there was a storm. On occasion it did for a few minutes but NEVER as long as
Comcrash was down. Nothing has changed here in
Florida I see. Loving Centurylink!
