The fun part about having a couple of days at home and waiting out a hurricane is that you get free time to think about little things that annoy you.

The bug for me right now is with Comcast....I won't bore everyone with the TLDR details....Just suffice to say I have been waiting 2 weeks for my installation. Now I have been pushed back an additional week....I am at the point where I am about to cancel the installation and check out DirecTV and AT&T Uverse.

Anyone ever have issues like this with Comcast?

THANK YOU, @comcastbusiness! We lost internet at our studio in Hour 4 this evening. The show will be heard in its entirety in our replays.

I also despise the misleading Xfinity commercial where this guy gets on a stage in a public place, and they say "We're going to compare your current internet service to Xfinity, downloading a video file." Of course Xfinity is wildly faster, but they're comparing it to the guy's old service, which is DSL. Who the **** uses DSL any more? It was like an old dial up AOL account, OF COURSE modern internet is going to be faster. And idiots will lap this shit up like its a high tech breakthrough. Jesus tapdancing Christ..... I gotta have Xfinity!!!

I've had Comcast/Xfinity, Time Warner, Google Fiber and AT&T within the last year IN the Olathe and Shawnee area. Xfinity has the best product for the money IMO. However, horrid support. They did something about 2 or 3 years ago that made their service eons better and WAY more affordable.

Google Fiber is the best if you want to pay for it. Followed by Comcast, then AT&T and finally Time Warner.

I had Time Warner for the last 9 months up until yesterday. I paid for 300 mbps. I could sit right by the router and get only 20-40 mbps. Now I pay for AT&T for ONLY 45 mbps, and ACTUALLY get 45 mbps. Wirelss N or AC, don't matter. I would routinely get 120 mbps on Comcast even with the router 2 stories up in my house.

FOR the exact same service that uses 4-5 TVs, 2 DVRs, higher tier internet, cable packages including ESPNU, ESPN News, CBS Sports Network etc
Google Fiber $157
Direct TV & AT&T $115
Comcast $108
Time Warner $193

Why ANYONE would have Time Warner is beyond me. HORRIBLE pricing. Outdated equipment. However, they were the best customer service besides Google.

I'm paying $186.00 a month for Comcast, that's TV, internet and home phone. I really want to get something cheaper.
