This is a case study in how to lose a 20 year customer in 5 months. We have lot's of TV's. High def, analog, giant projectors, and little TV's. Comcast can't correct problems we've had for a year or more. #1) We only get 3/4 of a picture on all our PBS channels, many History channel programs, CSPAN, ESPN, and National geo. It is NOT our TV and multiple tech's scratch heads and give up. #2) The Black convertor boxes are not well built. we've been through at least 12. Several wouldn't give us full channels. Others, no sound. The sound carrier is so weak, my in-laws TV is set to 100, and she still can't hear it. And the tech--he said it must be a poor TV. It worked great before the box. After, poor. #3) My DVD goes dark, for no reason, can't track ends of programs (skips to end) and looks crappy. It's the 4th one--straight from the factory. And it can't control any other device, even though it's a universal remote. #4) Comcast blames me all the time for lack of internet. It's ALWAYS my modem they say. But they have outages regularly, they run my line too hot and it blows the front end of my modem. And the home page eats tons of resources and slows the 'experience'. way too busy. What were they thinking. I left Comcast as you can well imagine for Verizon who ALL my employees and Neighbors say is a better picture, easy to work with and guaranteed service. Comcast never helps. In fact, this story is after 6 visits by Comcast service people, even a head Tech. #5) Last night the Comcast rep on the phone hung up on me while discussing my complaints. That was the last straw. (And I don't curse, yell, get angry or scream.)
