Comcast: Final Words

I don’t blog much.  I’d like to though, it’s just that I don’t often think of something blog-worthy and get to a computer quick enough before it completely leaves my mind.  Maybe it’s a problem, maybe it’s not.  Nobody really reads these things anyway.  That being said, any of you that even halfway follow anything in my life know that I have issues with Comcast.  I’m not the only one, and know that.  ”#comcastsucks” is commonly seen on Twitter, and I’m guilty of contributing reguarly–but my experienced are so hugely beyond how any company should treat a paying customer it nearly makes me feel ill.

I’m not going to retell my entire story–I’m going to be rather quick because I have a point to make.  Long story short, this “Xfinity” service that Comcast has been begging all of us to upgrade to is nothing more than a renamed contract program.   There’s nothing new or particularly special about it, it’s just a label.  A label that mandates that you cannot MOVE for 2 years during your contract.  For some, this may not be an issue.  For a student like me, it is.  Why would moving break your contract?  Go figure.

Also, it’s clear that no matter what I do, I cannot get internet and and TV for less than $150/mo.  I’ve talked to numerous people, and attempted a huge number of service changed all to no avail.  They continue to try to get me to add on a phone service that I don’t need claiming that it will “save me money”.  After they find out that I have two (2) TVs, they quickly realize that it’d be the same amount in the end anyway.

There’s so much more to this than I can even bother explaining in a 500 word blog post, and I know nobody’s interested.  But I will say this: I WILL BE TERMINATING MY CABLE TV SERVICE WILL COMCAST.  Yup, I said it.  Screw it, I’m done.
