I know people rag on cable companies for being late, etc. But I
have to commend Comcast for being on time and within a few days. (This
is a unpaid comment.)
I dropped tv several years ago (I don't even own one and no desire
to have one) but have cable internet.
The last couple of times I've had problems (all but once outside) I was told someone would be around within three days and at a certain time.
And by golly they were. Often it was two days (which is reasonable,
I mean I'm not the only user in town) and almost to the minute. If
the guy is going to be more than a couple of minutes late I get a call with the new time. Usually within the original hour. And they even
have people who work evenings and weekends, at no extra charge.
And I no longer have net withdrawal since the city has a deal
with Comcast to provide free wifi in certain areas of town, which
includes me, so I just use the laptop then. (If worse came to worse I could take the laptop to campus where I have a free wifi account).
And no, I don't miss the old days where one waited a week or more
for repair and the guy came and left a note when one was gone a few minutes while taking out the trash. :)
