Comcast rant

[Dave Faneuf <tklaundry@juno.com>]

In the past month, since the advent of Comcast,  my cable box has told me
that I needed to contact the cable provider because of my account,  the
account was fine they told me the box was trash, I had to bring it to the
cable company myself for replacement.  3 weeks later guess what, same
message on the new box....this time Comcast "fixed" the problem on their
end....tonight, I turn on for war coverage and a new message, L-01.  I
call Comcast and they say, oh the box is downloading new information give
it a half hour, if that doesn't work unplug if for ten minutes, if that
doesn't work call us back......what's next.  put it in a paper bag, stand
on the porch and swing it over my head chanting Comcast is great and
good?   I have also heard that Comcast is moving operations from Lowell
to Manchester NH, so if I need to replace this box is it going to involve
a road trip?   
Bigger is better.....keep chanting....bigger is better......bigger is
better......bigger is better
