Comcast
I very rarely feel the need to blog/tab about how terrible a service is, but I'm at a point where I am just completely fed up with Comcast. I'm in the market to find a new provider as Comcast seriously sucks.
Not only did my monthly bill just go up to $150/month for their 'triple play' option (internet, phone, television) but my TV service sucks (every few months it goes to crap and we can't see like 15-20 channels) and our internet service is pretty crap as well.
I just called to cancel the phone service because we don't use it... I don't think we even have a telephone in the apartment... & the woman kept pushing phone service on me, after I said "no, I don't want phone service, I have 3 cell phones & my roommates each have 1-2 cell phones. we don't need it. we don't use it. we don't even have a telephone to hook up to the wall. we will never need it" and we replies "what if you need to dial 911, a land line is always good for that" - and I said 'NO' and she continued to push.. I've never been this frustrated with someone on the phone before... I nearly hung up until I realized then she'd probably end up putting me back on the stupid phone plan, so I had to see this through.
Now, with just internet & television, our service plan comes out to $132 a month. ABSURD.
Please, someone in the bay area, tell me you've found a better provider?
