Comcast back at 9:50pm in Pennecamp.
|
came back in time for me to watch Pirates blow the game to Reds!
|
As I stated on Facebook, Comcast is out until 9pm, according to their website, so to spite them,,, I'm going out dancing. It was a good idea and I had a great time.
On my way to Lady Lake, passed 3 or 4 Comcast trucks in pouring rain running some new lines on 25A. Felt sorry for them. Came home at 11pm, trucks were still there but service has been restored. Good job Comcast and I had a fun night!! |
no Century-link in Hemingway last evening. Could watch recorded shows only.
|
When I called Comcast around 9 pm, they told me the repair estimate was extended until around 10:12 pm. This was because lightning was making it dangerous for their workers.
Well, I am done with Comcast! What is more important? Their worker's safety or me being able to watch a re-run of "Modern Family"? |

My TV came to life at about 9:30pm (pls note that is a time not a date ;-) ) .... now I will monitor my bill to see if I receive a credit for apox 5 hours of not being able to use a service I have paid for in advance.

Credit - COMCAST Outage Friday
We should all call to get credit. Mine was only $1.83 but at least we go on record as not being pleased with the extended outage Friday. The number to call is 800-266-2278
|
OK. Let's say the outage was 6 hours long. That amounts to less than 1% of the hours in the month (30 days at 24 hours = 720 hours). Even if your monthly bill is $200, your credit will be less than $2. When I consider how much time it takes to navigate the phone tree, my time is worth more than that. I also don't think Comcast would even notice if 10,000 customers asked for a credit due to an outage. And all this supposes the outage was their fault. Perhaps a failure due to the electrical activity we've had recently?
|
We have really gotten spoiled to technology. 6 hours with no TV during an intense electrical storm and the sky is falling? What did people do back in the dark ages 50 years ago?

Comcast Internet wasn't down at my home yesterday and if being connected was a requirement for survival, I'd have redundancy.
My Verizon smartphone allows me to use the device Asa 4G LTE hotspot (30+mb down/10 up. Maybe you should look into that.... |

Called Comcast and was connected to the billing department. Thay are going to give me a one day credit on the TV service for $2.12. Comcast is a joke!

It is a crisis if your phone is part of the internet service and they tell you your service appointment will be in 4 days. I fired Comcast and got BrightHouse installed the next morning. By the way, Comcast knew my wife has a chronic health condition that might require assistance anytime. If you are not a Comcast fan, remember that they are involved in a merger that could result in them having more than 50% of the US market. Consumer Reports is even against the merger. |

Here is the Consumer Report comment: Enough is Enough: No Comcast merger! We have real momentum in our fight against Comcast's plan to dominate our cable TV and Internet. And you can be a part of it! Take a minute to watch how consumers crashed Comcast's annual shareholder meeting to oppose it's takeover of Time Warner Cable. Then add your name to our petition against the merger. More than 400,000 Americans have already signed on -- saying NO WAY to letting one company dominate what we see, how fast we see it, and what we pay! |
