Comcast is fucking worthless i swear to fucking god

when i drive 30 minutes to the secretary of state and see that the line starts outside
Spectrum keeps sending me goddamn spam to sign up for TV or mobile service, but my actual Internet connection is fine.
$50 a month for 400Mbps down, 30Mbps up.
They're straight trash. I switched to AT&T last year. Not a great feeling to go from one mega god corp to another, but Comcast's customer service is just astoundingly bad.
What finally made me do it is when they just straight up started lying to me about stuff. Like no excuses anymore, they would just say stuff that wasn't true, and whenI called them out on it they'd just be like *shrug*

My favorite part is unlimited data not just being something you can select while on their website. You have to call in and fight with the person on the other end about how much you don't want to pay for TV.
Plus, when there's an outage in your area, their actual outage map doesn't work. Internet was off and on all day earlier this week, and I still have no fucking idea why.
Paying $120 a month for 1Gb down, 30Mb up, unlimited data. The unlimited data alone is $50 a month. This wasn't even through a special they offered me. This was the best deal on their website, and when I called in to get this plan (my previous contract ran out), the woman on the other end of the line told me to hold on, because she could find me a better deal. She came back with the same speeds I was paying for before (400 down, 10 up), and their internet TV thing for $130 a month. I said like 10 times to her, "why would I do that? I don't want TV. The deal on your website is better." And she insisted that it wasn't until I hung up.
Is that price with a contract and limited data?

Comcast spells my last name wrong in the mail they send me, even though nowhere in my customer info on their website has it been spelled wrong.

Comcrap also spells my name wrong. Is being an incompetent fuckwit a job requirement there?
They no longer allow me to use my own modem. If I want anything over 100 Mbps I have to use their equipment.
I'm pretty sure this is illegal but it's hopeless trying to fight this.
I get really good service from Spectrum, but more importantly at least for now there are no data caps and between the fact I am all digital with games, stream on PSnow and we don't have TV and stream all outlets shows and movies not having data limits is kind of essential.
The hotspots are usually actually run on another person's personal router. xfinity is the fucking worst. You have to disable the hotspot ability through the comcast website.
Spectrum will be better by default for about 3-4 more years, since they agreed to no data caps for that long due to the merger. But then after that, yes, they'll probably be as bad / worse.
Yup and also for me personally the Internet goes to shit tier speeds at night
Holy shit, I didn't know this.
Incredibly glad I don't use their hardware.
Woahhhh, really? Do you have a link with instructions on how to disable this by any chance?

LOL the commercial just came on and the customer service lady says they make life simple and easy. They can simply fuck themselves.

i would leave it on personally. it doesnt count against your cap so its useful when your running low.
Comcast still sucks but i've noticed their internet service has improved tenfold over the last decade. And they always do random speed upgrades. I'd probably choose them over AT&T.
I've probably only had like 2 or 3 instances of internet outage that has lasted for less than a day in the span of 4-5 years with Comcast so I think that's pretty good. It just sucks that there's a data cap, their plans are pricey and they are really the only option we have in the area. Other ISPs provide significantly slower speeds for almost the same cost.
I have been going through the same song and dance with them every year for about 15 years if not more. I sign up for a year and they try to jack the rate at the end of it. I call them, press the button to cancel so I go directly to their retention team, and tell them I'm leaving for Frontier Communications. They "look into it" and I "qualify" for another year of a new "special" that keeps my rate the same.
I wish they would just flag my account to avoid this exercise in stupidity.

Same. No complaints here.
Note: I do use my own equipment (modem and router).
Do you not live in an area with a datacap? Cause that sucks
I have no idea. We live in the suburbs of Chicago.
We use Netflix/Hulu Live/Amazon Prime pretty much every night and very occasionally Nintendo Switch online, but that's it.
85.00 in taxes and rental fees for the boxes.
Comcast is.........
I mean seriously, how the fuck do they get away with making people pay rental fees way past the cost of the cable box and modem?
