Comcast ***
My sons' home burned to the ground Dec 2, 2009. When his wife called Comcast to tell them their home was destroyed, Comcast told them they must bring in the CONVERTER BOXES or be charged over $400.00.One box was under a 50 inch "curled up" flat panel TV, the other was melted to the 36 inch TV in the master bedroom. My son happened to be at the site of the fire with an Adjuster, who said, Calm down sir, I will go back in what is left of your home and put what is LEFT of those boxes in a box for you. Stream Energy (electric Company)told my son even though the home burned, his "billing cycle" was from Nov.17th to Dec 17th, so they sent a bill for over 400KW for a home that burned down to 2 walls and no roof. Does ANYBODY on this earth have common sense or morals anymore?

Comcast Unfair prices
I'm a Comcast client for last 6 years, I used to have a promotion over the last six months which expired last week, I called trying to renew or extend it, but Comcast did not offer me anything good enough or encouraging. Today I just found a Comcast AD flayer in my mail box about a promotion offering Cable, High speed internet, and Digital voice for just 89.99, also this offer include Free HBO, STARZ, and HD_DVR all for 89.99 a month for 12 months then rolls up to 109.99. I called trying to get this offer and I was extremely disappointed to hear that this offer is just for new customers, I can't tell you how frustrated and disappointed that Comcast did not show any loyalty and offer me even something close to that promotion. Shame on Comcast treating it's loyal customer this way.

Bad Comcast Rep at Best Buy
I recently bought a new HD TV at best buy. The TV is great and so were the people at Best Buy who helped me pick it out. What sucks! Is the Comcast guy who gave me an HD box when I bought my TV. He told me I would be able to save some money if I picked it up at the store and just installed it myself. Well ofcourse the box dosen't work, it is faulty somehow, but it took me 6 hours of phone calls and 4 different people at comcast for me to figure this out! They even sent someone to my house on a saturday night who basically told me the box was broken and there was nothing he could do! I could write a long winded post about how much they suck, but I have already waseted too much of my valuable time thinking/talking about COMCAST. You can bet I will be dropping their services within the week.

Comcast Upgrade
Comcast is upgrading its network or so the letter states. That means I need to rent digital boxes from them for each TV in my home. The reason I stuck with Comcast all these years is because my digital ready TVs didn't need a box. The service hasn't been great, but I can make a neat clean connection to a flat panel. Apparently they've figured out how to "fix" that at my expense. I don't want the upgrade, I don't need the upgrade, and I don't want to pay more than I already am!

Comcast--you recently brought back
I am once again greatly disappointed with your removal of this favorite program of mine. Once again I am beseeching you to bring it back to the 6 o'clock evening program. It's a grown =-up interesting story--one that is related to the present as well as the past! we enjoy it immensely in myfamily. It's a sensible program, applicable to today-s problems as well as our past. Please don-t torture me with the substitute programs you have presented instead. I hate the ones you have substituted at present! thank you for a prompt attention to my complaint.

Comcast and Misapplied payments
Comcast changed my phone number, on my request, nearly a year ago, but never changed my number in their files. So, they keep applying my payments to the account of the people who used to have this phone number. I've made them fix it once, overpaid who knows how many times and had my service cut off multiple times. They still haven't fixed it and until today, still had the old number as the number on my account despite my telling them about the problem multiple times. I just got a bill today saying I still owe despite having paid and faxed them proof of my payments. Unfortunately, Comcast has a monopoly on cable service in my area. I think I'm going to file a claim with consumer affairs for my city.

I've just spent over 2 hours on the phone with Comcast. I live in the Boston area and received a letter from Comcast that I would need to install the DTA to continue receiving cable channels on my TVs that weren't connected to a cable box. And weren't...

They only tell you that they are giving you the 2 DTAs for free. In about 6 Months they will raise the prices on all service and start charging for the 2 "FREE" DTAs.
Then they tell you that the government "Forced" them to change to digital. I too was receiving local channels in HD through the digital tuner on my TV. Everything worked just fine for $128 month. After the DTA, I was forced upgrade my service to HD, rent a HD DVR box since I could no longer get any HD on the TV and I could no longer use the DVR that I owned.
Add in the extra DTA boxes that I needed and I then had the same service for $168 a month. December's bill comes with an insert informing us that the services are going up and we now have to pay $1.99 a month each for those 2 "FREE" DTAs. New Bill $176 s month.
What a RIPOFF!!! They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Comcast cable doesn't provide credit for service not received
Jackie, Comcast service representative, refused to credit me for service not received. This morning 2/9/10, from 5:00am-6:30am pst Comcast tv provided no service to my 4 tv's. I watched the boxes reboot themselves (via home office signal) and then I had service. I need credit for cable service not received. Jackie refused saying that I had failed to call at 6am when the problem was in progress even though their office was not open. She also refused to credit for a partial day. She also refused to allow me to speak to a supervisor. Very, very poor service on the part of Comcast.

Unsatisfied
I am dissatisfied with comcast because of the guy that installed it for us. He rushed us through the process, did not explain what he was doing, told us that our computer was really old, did not leave a welcome information booklet then forgot his drill. I was told that he was going to be here for 3-4 hours, he was here for 45 minutes tops. After he left the telephone would not work. We found that he did not hook the jack up right and a wire was not connected! Need I go on? I live at 21 Whitney Hill Rd. in Brooline Vermont and would like an informational booklet sent to us asap.

Comcast shell game
For more than two months, I have been trying to get Comcast fix the cable reception for the television. Around the beginning of January a special year-long but it took more than three calls to Comcast, for them to say this. One of the channels I lost was the Military Channel and Discovery Times Channel. I thought 'Oh well'. Well Several weeks later, I get the Military Channel Discovery Times Channel again but lose: 1. TVLand(74 on Basic tier) 2. Style(79 on Basic tier and 118 on Digital tier) 3. Hallmark Channel(137 on Digital tier) 4. CMT(146 on Digital tier) 5. Hallmark Video(157 on the Digital tier 6. G4(162 on Digital tier) It has been one excuse after another.

Worst customer service
technician came 6 hrs later than "window" given to us and we were promised a waived fee. not only was the fee not waived but it showed up on the next three bills. spent a long time on the phone trying to get things fixed only to struggle and fight the people who were supposed to be helping me. of the first 6 bills i received at my new house, only 2 were correct. each incorrect one was a hassle to change. i was promised returned calls from supervisors that never happened. i really despise a company who treats customers so poorly. to their credit, the last time i called i spoke with someone helpful (this was the only time but it was a welcome surprise).

Comcast published my address and a convicted felon has it.
I've had comcast for 15 years. we started out only purchasing their cable packages. When they offered the bundle service we signed up for it. Perviously we had phone service through verizon and had always kept our name, number, and address unlisted. when we switched our phone to comcast I asked them if they would keep it unlisted. they said no problem. a few months later I looked our name up in a phone book. there I was. I called comcast and told them that my number had to be unlisted. again they promised to take care of it. We moved and I transferred service. we decided to keep the same phone number. I told them that they had screwed up and published my number before. I was very specific that with this move my number had to be unpublished. They said no problem. I trusted the companies word that this was going to be taken care of. I didn't look up my name. a few days ago I received a letter at the address that was supposedly unlisted. this letter was from a violent convicted felon. This felon was the reason for making sure that my number was unlisted. guess where he got it from....the white pages. How did the white pages get it...one guess...comcast sold it to them. the really crazy part is that this felon will be transferred to a prison just blocks from my house. what is going to stop him from swinging by upon release. I called comcast. It took days to get a supervisor to call me back. Once I finally got one they were worthless. they told me that they had no record on their end regarding my 3 previous attempts to make my number unlisted. Of course they won't take responsibility for putting my children, husband and self in serious danger. I'm sure that in the days that it took to get a call back..they go rid of any notations regarding my requests. I was told that now they will make my number unlisted. My question is...what does that do for me???? the violent person that I needed to keep my address away from already has it. I told them to do it anyway. they then said there would be a service fee...WHAT????...not only did they do this to us..now we are going to be charged!!!! I then asked them how do I know that my number is going to be unlisted...Now I have no trust with anything they tell me.. He said that I should be trusting because he was putting in a work order as we spoke. I asked to have a copy of the work order. He said they don't do that. so now I have no proof that this conversation ever happened.. On top of that he said that the new round of listing may have already been sent to businesses like the white pages. He said that there was a small window of opportunity to stop listing from being published. so he's going to charge me and he still can't promise that my number is going to be unlisted...I am so angry.... I'm looking for people in the state of washington that had the same thing happen. I"m ready to go to the media. comcast can't continue to sell our info when we have requested it to be private. this puts people at serious risk. what about our law enforcement..How do we protect them from the criminals that they work so hard to remove from society. If their numbers are unlisted what happens to their families??? there are some horrible criminals out there that plan revenge and get out of prison way to early.

Comcast hasn't improved anything!
Comcast Customer Service?? What a joke! I have been a customer of Comcast for many years. Through the years I've experienced lackluster service, customer service reps with attitudes, stonewalling, incompetent technicians who have no idea what they're doing, and the list goes on and on. But, none of that even compares to my most recent debacle. Saturday, January 30, 2010 I was moving into a new home and I wanted to have my Comcast service switched from my old place to my new place. Seems easy enough right? Well, not when Comcast is involved! First of all I waited all day on Saturday for the technician to show up....which he never did. Phone call #1: After waiting on hold for 7 minutes I get a rep on the phone that tells me that the technician got held up on a job before mine and was unable to make it to my place on time. Fine. So they place me on hold to see how long its going to take for him to get there. After holding for 5 minutes, I get hung up on. Phone call #2, same thing. Phone call #3 sat on hold for 10+ minutes. Phone call #4 got a rep who places me on hold for another 8 minutes. Phone call #5 get a customer service rep who then tells me that they tech couldn't find my address and had tried to call me on my home telephone number that THEY DISCONNECTED THAT MORNING! After 9...yes NINE phone calls to Comcast I finally get someone on the phone to reschedule the appointment and they try telling me that they can't have someone there until Tuesday, February 2, 2010. I protest and after having to speak to a supervisor I get an appointment for that Monday morning. Monday, February 1st, 2010 I have to take the day off of work so that I can sit around and wait for the Comcast tech....again. He finally shows up and after 3 different cable boxes and 50 phone calls to his service team he gets my cable box, with TiVo service up and running. He tells me that the Tivo service and the guide need a couple of hours to load. He leaves. Tuesday, February 2, 2010 I come home from work hoping to set up my TiVo to record all of my favorite shows. Guess what? The box isn't working…surprise, surprise. Here I go again....back to the phones I go. After 30 minutes of telephone wrangling I get a tech that tells me to unplug the box and plug it back in. GENIOUS! After I do what he asks the box goes into a reboot loop that will not stop. The box is dead. Soooo, now I get to book,yet another, appointment for, yet another, tech to come out and switch the box. Oh goodie, more time off of work and more lost wages. Of course God forbid that they give me some type of credit for the aggravation...just forget about it. No only are they not willing to give me a credit for all my aggravation, but they are actually going to try and CHARGE ME for all the service calls!!! Wednesday, February 3, 2010 Waiting, waiting, waiting..... the guy finally comes. Box #1, doesn't work, Box #2, doesn't work, Box #3, doesn't work. The tech comes to his last box on the truck and tells me that if this one doesn't work he's gonna have to leave because comcast will penalize him if he is late for his next appointment even if my issue isn't resolved yet. Finally, I snap. I get on the phone with Comcast AGAIN. Comcast tells the tech that he is not to leave and if he has to have his "team leader" come out. The tech gets off the phone and is CLEARLY upset that I called them. HE'S UPSET!!! Where the *** he gets the nerve to be upset I'll never know. I'm the customer.....I'M UPSET!! Finally on the 4th box he gets it to start working….sort of. I know that my story is anything but unusual, that's the really sad part. This company unfortunately has just gotten way to big and as a result we, the customers are paying the price, in more ways than one. We are paying out the nose for these services….well over $100 a month, and we can't even get reliable service that actually works! Comcast knows that its customers have no other options for cable service in some area's and they take advantage of that. They know we have no where else to go. Smarten up Comcast, smarten up! You are the very worst company that I have EVER had to deal with, EVER! Clearly…. There are numerous websites devoted just to your company and its incompetence's, and clearly I am not the only one that is unhappy. Disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful.

Call me what you want I was dumb enough to contact PUC, you now nothing about my son's electric usuage, if YOU could read you would have seen that I said my son did NOT dispute from Nov.17th TO Dec 2, 2008, he gladely paid a $98.00 bill, but MORE was added (stated by Stream customer service) from Dec 2, to 17th SIMPELY BECAUSE OF A BILLING CYCLE. My son got a $0.00 bill AFTER PUC investagation. Which company do YOU WORK FOR?
You seem to be as dmub as a box of rocks. The electric bill is for electricity used between Nov.17th and December 17th.
400KW seems like a reasonable charge from Nov 17 to Dec 2. If the house hadn't burnt you probably would have used another 400 by Dec. 17th. They only billed you for what you used.
Just because their billing cycle goes thru Dec. 17th that doesn't mean they charged you anything that wasn't used after the fire--that's when the bill is sent.
As far as the comcast equipment, file an insurance calim. The equipment was in your son's possesion and his responsibility.
SO IT IS OK TO SEND A HUMAN IN TO A BURNT OUT HULL OF A HOUSE TO GET UNUSABLE EQUIPMENT ALSO INSURED BY COMCAST, WITH NO FEAR FOR HUMAN LIFE, JUST UNSABLE EQUIPMENT? THE ELECTRIC BILL HAD BEEN PAID NOV.20TH, WE DO NOT ARGUE NOV.20 THRU DEC 2, 2008 BUT DEC 17TH?
AFTER THE DEC 2, FIRE????
WHICH COMPANY DO YOU WORK FOR???????? MAY GOD ADD AN UNDERSTANDING TO YOU!!
Just because your house burns doesn't mean you don't have to pay your bills. Your contract with Comcast places a value on the equipment they have in your home.
You should have home owners insurance to cover this. I am sure you are claiming the value of the 50" and 36" TV's, why not the converter boxes.
Why on earth don't you think you should pay for the electricity used at the house in the 2 weeks before the fire? Sure, having a house burn down is a terrible experiance but it doesn't forgive your debts to others.
Thats amazingly pathetic
