Comcast Cable TV issue?

Question

Is anyone else in mid Michigan or anywhere else having an issue with Comcast cable service? I can't watch more than 5 seconds of TV on any station without service cutting out and then blipping back after a second. It's impossible to watch a TV show during this. I called Customer Service and after spending 25 minutes on hold (which is total c**p, it shouldn't take that long!) the lady I talked to said "Umm...uh, we need people to call before we can do anything to make sure there's an issue in your area." I responded "No, I am calling you NOW to tell you there is a problem." She responded that yes, there's an outage in the area and a technician will be out in a few weeks to fix it. What's the deal?

Answer 1

i live in Mi and had Comcast for years (my ex insisted).  I think I only actually PAID for it 8 months out of each year, as my service was interrupted so much.  It was absolute c**p, beginning to end, included some rip-off artist that insisted i pay him $50 cash before he would even install it.  Comcast denied this ever happened.

My worst experience was my cable modem would crash every night when Letterman came on.  Go figure.

<edit>  i am quite happy with my NON- Comcast DSL... have been for years now.

Answer 2

I hear you...I have Comcast also, and its reception is worse that that I can get from the antenna, plus I have to pay a bunch for it!

Answer 3

Comcast sucks.
