So I'm going on three months without a PHYSICAL connection to my house!
I walked in all happy and cheerful back in May to get TV and Internet service at the house I inherited. They said sure give us money and we'll send someone over to hook you up.
Few days later a dude shows to hook myself back to their system. We both walked over to the box and found no cable? Come to find out AT&T, those bastards, had cut the cable and removed several feet of it to "disable" Comcast's box. Well the dude tells me he's only a "inside" installer he can't run cable. He'll put me on a list.
Two weeks later a "cable" installer shows up. He walks down the driveway to the road and doesn't find a power line drop. He finally finds a drop on my grandmother power pole and runs the cable to my house, which will be an issue later in the story. He goes in to test it but can't connect to the network. Confused he says it's a network issue and to call in later that night. He then excalms "Holy S***!, you have way to much signal it's at -50" He intelligently puts a filter to "bring" the signal to -70. I'm silently screaming but I say Thank You and kicked his useless ass out of my house.
Later that night I can't get the modem to connect to the network. Hmm, I wonder why.. I call Comcast back and tell them the cable installed is faulty.
Two weeks later, late JUNE, I find a gaggle of men standing around starring at my grandmother's power pole. I walked up, introduced myself, and reluctantly asked what was wrong. Well the cable was crushed from being laid over my aunt's driveway. Also Entergy had called and said to remove the ILLEGALLY installed cable from their power pole. They confiscated the cable, fired the last installer on the spot, and said I had to have Engineering install a underground cable which could be several months.
Now every two weeks I've have to call and ask for my bill to be removed. Every time it's a hassle as they ask the very reasonable question "Why don't you have service yet???.
I went back to the local office yesterday, mid AUGUST, and inquired why Engineering hasn't shown up yet to bury a cable. The manager went WTF and pulled up my account. He stared at it for about 10 minutes before he started laughing. I'm sitting their with a "I'm going to kill you face" which he finally noticed and apologized. He said he's never seen a account this f'd up.
Well folks!! I have another posse showing up today NOT TO INSTALL but to get a game plan on WTF to do.
F YOU COMCAST!!
