2. The only way to get immediate service restoration
is to pay at the business office or over the phone with a real live human present.

4. It's a service outage, not a disconnect.
We have REAL shitty service here. We had to discontinue internet service, cause we could not get a strong enough signal. We are converting to FIOS on Tuesday. The fiber has been pulled to the outside box and they will finish the job on Tuesday. Screw Comcast! BTW, sorry we missed the concert. My daughter had a sleepover last saturday night.

14. We switched to DirecTV a year ago
because we were fed up with Comcrap. DirecTV isn't too bad. The ONLY thing I miss, and it's no big deal, is the real weather channel. And I can get the weather from weatherunderground.com We live between Gaithersburg & Rockville.

Does that include lunch and coffee breaks? I wish companies would put as much creativity into their products and services as they do into finding ways to lie to their customers.

5. There was a big brouhaha on DU a couple of years ago about KKKarl Rove
would be indicted "in 24 business hours". As we know, that never happened.

11. You know, the person that was closest to that is still sore
about it. I made a comment a few months back, and he gave me a response that it was still a sore subject. Though i wish they could have indicted his ass and frog marched him out of the WH.
