Here is the conversation, live chat below. I was told it was no problem to set up service and got strung along so far before being told they can't give us service in our building that I cannot return the modem and am told they are at no fault for this?

Hello Sh_, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Wa. Please give me one moment to review your information.

Hi there Wa

Hello, Sh. How may I help you today?
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:19:32 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Are you trying to order Comcast services?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:19:42 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
well, we got the modem after I chatted with someone a couple months ago, wanted to take advantage of the special ya'll were offering
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:20:18 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so we have the modem, I have all these rebate forms, but comcast can't turn it on in my building even though the sales guy I talked to said it would be no problem
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:20:28 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
(we found this out after we got the modem)
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:20:38 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so, do we have to move to get service or what?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:20:52 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
talked to someone else who said he would get it taken care of, no email, nothing
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:21:07 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so how do I return this modem and count myself out the shipping both ways?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:21:34 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I bet I can't get the rebate now, and how about that deal we were promised? I have a 110$ paperweight right now, lol
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:21:49 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I just looked up your address in our system, and it showed for 'in seattle', "THIS IS AN MDU NOT SERVICED BY COMCAST" .
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:22:29 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
right on, the guy I talked to before I went and spent al lthis money told me NP
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:22:33 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
but now it is
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:22:41 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
This most likely means that your apartment building has some sort of exclusive agreement with another internet, TV, or phone provider, and that they have not provided Comcast with permission to run our wiring to the building.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:22:58 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and the next one said he would get someone to put our building 'on the grid' and now it is not
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:23:38 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Well, you would need to talk to your landlord about that. Currently, we do not offer service to the building at all, but we do offer service in 524 BOYLSTON AVE E .
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:23:38 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
ah, we have several services here, I had qwest and they had to get 'on the grid' whatever that is but it only took them a week
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:23:57 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
um, no, I want out since we were ..I will put this nicely...misinformed
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:24:09 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I want to get our money back for this modem and just forget about it
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:25:33 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Well, where did you order the modem from?
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:25:42 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
If it was online, which specific web site?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:25:51 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
um...that is a good question, the guy gave me a link off your website
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:25:56 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
let me go check the email
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:27:19 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
ok, got the box and it says comcast corp. broadbandoffers.com
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:27:57 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
shipped on december 14th, man this has turned into a nightmare
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:28:20 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
why would that salesguy lie to us? I am really concerned about that
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:28:26 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
not just one, but TWO
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:28:36 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Okay, broadbandoffers.com is a web site run by a third-party reseller, Leapfrog Online. The "free modem", "free router", and rebate offers listed on their site are offered through Leapfrog directly, and not through Comcast.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:29:21 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so you are telling me that comcast screwed us over and we cannot do anything about it???
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:29:28 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
If you have questions about returning the equipment they sent you, you will need to contact Leapfrog directly. Their contact information should be listed on Broadbandoffers.com or Comcastoffers.com , or I may be able to look it up for you.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:29:55 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
NO NO NO this was a camcst salesperson who got me INTO this
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:30:10 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
how about could you pass me over to a supervisor?
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:30:39 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Comcast did not send you a modem and/or router. Leapfrog Online did. The "free modem" or "free router" after rebate offer, is an offer that Leapfrog Online offers, and that is not available directly from Comcast.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:31:05 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
the salesperson linked me to it and lied about us being able to have service
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:31:25 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I had to put my addy in to chat to you so he KNEW that this was impossible yet pushed it anyways
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:32:05 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
The email from Broadbandoffers indicates that you placed the order through Leapfrog's site. The contact number for Leapfrog online is 877-668-7221 .
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:32:09 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
let me talk to a supervisor
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:32:32 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so what if we did it was because of a COMCAST employee who said we could get SERVICE
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:32:57 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
this is wrong on so many levels and you know it, I worked your job before and know you are tied but there is someone who can help
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:33:05 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so give me a supervisor, please
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:33:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
at least they can get whatever affiliate to understand this was comcasts fault and 'misunderstanding' that has caused us to own a modem we do not need
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:33:52 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I'm checking to see if a supervisor is available over chat.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:34:06 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and can't use and I looked it up on ebay I would be lucky to get 20-30$ out of my 110$ investment into hades
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:34:10 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
thank you
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:34:53 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
When did you place the order?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:35:02 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
this was december
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:35:21 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
probably around the 10-12 since the ship date was the 14th
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:35:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and I have chatted back and forth and you are the FIRST one who has told me no way can we get service
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:36:05 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I mean, seriously, why would I even order that modem if I was not told it was good
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:36:22 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
do you have 100$ to pay for something you do not need?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:36:35 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
especially prior to Christmas??
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:36:41 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
In December 2009, Leapfrog had the following offer: $100 Gift card and free modem after rebate when purchased through Leapfrog.
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:37:16 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Leapfrog owns the following sites: www.Broadbandoffers.com, comcastoffers.com, comcastdoubleplay.com, comcastcableoffers.com
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:37:19 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and that is only AFTER you have service PAID for
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:37:25 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
you have to give them the reciept
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:37:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
or they do not give the discount, that is a typical deal between the affiliate and the company
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:37:54 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
the company cannot give me service yet told me they could
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:37:58 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
now I can;t get the rebate
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:38:08 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and have a usless brand new modem
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:38:18 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
If they sent you the modem, then you would have purchased the modem from them, and you would need to contact Leapfrog is you want to return the modem.
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:38:45 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
The modem can be used with any cable internet provider, if you move to a serviceable address.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:38:47 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
get me a supervisor
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:39:07 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I can't stand this anymore, you say the same thing but you KNOW comcast can help me here one way or the other
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:39:31 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
they ARE YOUR AFFILIATE not mine, and the deal is because you get COMCAST service and I was sent there by someone on THIS SAME CHAT
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:39:38 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
would you like me to forward the emails?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:39:46 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so I have to MOVE
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:40:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
give me a break, do you understand how ridiculous that is
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:40:16 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
MOVE to use a modem because of one of COMCASTS sales people?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:40:45 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
how bout you send them over, they need to bring a truck, and pack our stuff...oh, and find us a place at this rate, location with our balcony that takes cats
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:41:09 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
oh, they need to pay our deposit as well. Sure, I will move to use a modem, on those conditions
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:42:20 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Hm, and in that first email it says this: In the event that Comcast needs to re-submit your order, all rebates offered exclusively on ComcastOffers.com will still be honored, provided redemption rules are followed.
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:42:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I am still checking with my supervisor, Sh. However, if you purchased the modem through Leapfrog Online, you will need to contact Leapfrog Online if you wish to return the modem. Their phone number is 877-668-7221 , and their email address is
[email protected] .
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:42:44 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I need comcasts help in order to get that done and you know it
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:43:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I can call and email them till the zombies are here and they will send me BACK to comcast
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:43:10 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Again, that email message would have been sent by Leapfrog Onlline. The site ComcastOffers.com is owned by Leapfrog Online.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:43:17 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so we can do something now or I will have to go back and forth and back and forth

that is the ORDER confirmation

it had to go through ya'll first
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:44:48 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
So, you're saying that you already contacted Leapfrog Online, using the contact information provided above, informed them that you live at a non-serviceable address, and that you needed to return the modem, and that they referred you to us?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:45:33 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I CAN'T CONTACT them first, I need someone who can verify that we were told we COULD get service and can't due to the NEGLIGENCE of a salesperson gone sell happy
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:45:46 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
otherwise they will (virtually) laugh and tell me no go
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:46:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
THIS HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 months for gods sake
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:46:13 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and we JUST now are being told, move or it won't work?
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:46:25 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I can't verify that you were told that you can get service, because you cannot get service, and there's no such account.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:46:56 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
why would I get the modem if I was not told it was going to be fine.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:47:19 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so, where is that supervisor?
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:47:31 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I was just saying that the modem that you have, will work with any cable internet provider. I was not telling you to move, but I was saying that if you did move, you would likely be able to use this modem at your new residence, even if it is serviced by a different cable provider.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:48:04 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I was promised to be able to get COMCAST service at OUR address
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:48:05 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Leapfrog Online sent you the modem. I do not know why they sent you the modem, if you live at a non-serviceable address.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:48:37 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
hm, could it be because some sell crazed salesperson with the morals of a badger told me it was fine at THIS address?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:48:41 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I don't NEED this
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:49:02 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I consulted with my supervisor, and he says that, since you bought the modem from Leapfrog, you would need to contact Leapfrog to return the modem.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:49:02 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
then the next one told us they would email us to let us know when they got activation in our building?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:49:22 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
You people are being ridiculous.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:49:37 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and I will, especially since I have saved this entire conversation
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:49:46 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
oh, and bet you it will be posted all over the web
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:50:04 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:52:34 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I do care, Sh, and I would like to assist you with this, but you purchased the modem from Leapfrog Online. If you wish to return the modem, you need to contact Leapfrog Online, who you purchased the modem from.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:52:52 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
BLAH. I purchased it THROUGH A LINK one of YOU gave me
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:52:56 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so that MATTERS
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:53:22 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

If you purchased it through a web site that was not owned by Comcast (such as Leapfrog's Comcastoffers.com or Broadbandoffers.com site), then your sales contract from the modem is between you and the owners of that web site.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:54:16 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
could you say that agin? I mean...are you a robot or what?
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:54:22 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
You will need to contact the people you purchased the modem from, if you wish to request a refund.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:54:28 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
it is YOUR friggin affiliate and I get no help.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:54:36 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
YOU all set up the deal with them
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:54:39 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and sent me to it
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:54:55 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
send me a friggin email explaining that we can't get service here
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:55:15 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
then between this saved convo (and the one original, I always save them) then MAYBE we can get a refund
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 19:55:39 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
It is a third-party company, independent from Comcast. Leapfrog was offering the free modem, not Comcast, and you purchased the modem from Leapfrog, not from Comcast. If you wish to return the modem, you need to contact Leapfrog.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:55:39 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I do sort of wonder how many people out there have had this occur and just take it...bet I can get something interseting going

like in the class action department
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 16:56:06 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 20:01:52 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
No, Sh, this is because you placed an order through Broadbandoffers.com , and they shipped you their modem that you purchased from them, according to their terms and conditions, and now that you find out you're not serviceable, you want to return the modem and avoid their restocking fee.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:02:17 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
of course their stuff all says that they are not responsible either (I just read their 'return policy') so isn't that mighty convenient
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:02:26 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
COMCAST SENT ME THERE
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 20:02:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
This is entirely between you and Broadbandoffers.com , and I already provided you with the contact information, where you can reach Broadbandoffers.com directly.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:02:50 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
AFTER TELLING ME that as soon as we got it AT OUR ADRESS then we GET service, no problem
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:02:58 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so this STARTED with comcast
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:03:17 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
no, this is between me and COMCAST promising us service at this adress
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:05:09 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
you know, once upon a time I did your job. Seriously. And this is a big mistake, I have had many people try the card I pulled on you, but on me. When someone actually has a case and a reason there is generally some sort of help given because the ORIGINAL company (COMCAST) is the reason this whole charade of crap occurred to begin with
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 20:05:18 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Okay, a supervisor has become available. Did you still wish to speak to a supervisor regarding this issue?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:05:23 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
refusing to accept that is not good. Not good at all,
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:05:26 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Yes I do
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 20:05:48 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
One moment please while I transfer you to a supervisor, Sh.
Wa(Fri Mar 05 2010 20:05:54 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Please wait, while the problem is escalated to another analyst
analyst Wa has left room
analyst Br has entered room
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:07:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Hi there Br
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:07:51 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
you have a problem on your sales floor
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:08:06 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Hello My name is Br. I am the supervisor on duty
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:08:08 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
not the guy I just talked to, he was the first one who was honest yet his hands are tied
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:08:36 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so the first person I talked to on December 9th told me we could get service at our address
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:08:40 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
we can't
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:08:56 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I bought the modem because the guy told me we could get service
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:09:16 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so a month goes by, nothing, waiting...talk to someone else, they say our building is not 'on the grid'
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:09:26 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I am sorry this has happend. I do understrand your frusteration
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:09:30 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and that they would take care of that and email us when we could turn it on
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:10:03 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
so now, because of COMCAST salespeople I have a 110$ modem I cannot send back (it has been too long) that is brand new and unused
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:10:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
The sales perople should have been able to see that your address us not in a servicable area
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:10:31 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and I am told that this is NOT comcasts foult? I was lied to by one of YOUR salespeople and it is NOT your fault?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:11:04 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
right, he said it was OK we went through this with qwest 2 yrs ago (they did get it fixed) and I made SURE to ask, repeatedly
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:11:59 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I would be lucky to get 40$ out of this thing on ebay, trust me, I am a power seller and just pulled a full search
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:12:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
sales happy liars are not good to have in your employ
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:13:53 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I will have this incident looked at as to why the sales force has made this error
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:13:49 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and these chat sessions are going to look very interesting when I post the to hades and back. I use to work CSR/Tech and ALWAYS save your chats, always. It is why I never call unless there is NO other choice
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:14:40 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
yeah, but in the meantime we got screwed over and are out all this and I have to use a super slow shared connection because I was mistaken that if we were just patient that it would be FIXED
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:14:49 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and being told I should MOVE?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:15:18 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I want the guy who linked me to this modem to pay my moving costs, pack my stuff and drive it. Oh, and find me as awesome a building I am in right now
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:15:22 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Have you called broadband offers at 877-668-7221 ?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:15:30 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
must have a balcony (I bonsai) and be cat friendly
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:15:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
why would I call them? Have you read their return policy?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:16:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I would be lucky to get 30$ back after it all, and that is IF they took it back
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:16:16 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
this is a tech driven service and this modem is already old lol
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:16:24 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I got lead on and lead on till TODAY
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:16:37 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
that we would be able to hook up to Comcast
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:16:49 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
not once, not just once..but TWICE
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:17:11 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and being patient has lost us the chance to get back anything worthwhile
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:17:21 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Since this transaction took place through them, they need to be the people to call.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:17:46 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Um, this transaction took place because your salesperson linked me to them and told me WE WOULD GET SERVICE HERE
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:18:01 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
then after being told our building wasn't on the grid and it would be fixed
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:18:06 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
we waited more
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:18:14 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
this is the fault of COMCAST
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:18:31 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I can talk to them all day long and they will laugh at me for being an idiot
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:18:47 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and then IF they took it back, WE pay shipping and a 25$ restocking fee
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:18:53 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
If i were in your situation I would call them and explain the exact situation to them
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:19:10 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
and something else as well because it is not activated
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:19:15 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
NO you don't get it
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:19:23 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
COMCAST did this and WE get screwed?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:19:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
oh, and we pay by the minute for our phone service and you want ME to waste my time because of YOUR people?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:20:13 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
you have got to be kidding me, when I did this for a living I never pushed blame off just to get rid of someone
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:20:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
they got their commision and we get a 110$ paperweight
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:20:36 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I want that jerks commission
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:21:12 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
<ctrl> C is my friend right now
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:21:35 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
<ctrl> V and wordpad is even better
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:22:17 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
3 months we get led around until it is too late to do anything and then we just get shoved off
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:22:31 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I mean, who is doing the training out there? Gordon Ramsay?
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:22:45 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
give us your money and go the heck away. nice.
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:24:19 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
I do apologise for the mis-information but you need to be speaking to the people who sold you the Modem. They can be reached at 1877-668-7221 or by email at

Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:24:35 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
period
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:25:03 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
If you had not LIED to me over and over I could have sent it back in DECEMBER and spent 20$ for nothing
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:25:30 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
or...even better, told me we couldn't get service to BEGIN with so I went, thanks, and went to check another service
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:25:49 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Siously wonder how many this has been done to
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:26:30 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
how many does it take to start a class action. Hm. TEN people or more and this convo is going all over the web smile And the first one I had that said my address in the convo and said it was fine.
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:26:33 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
At this point I have provided you with a solution to your situation. I have nothing more I can offer other that an apology for the misinformation.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:26:45 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
nice comparisons I do believe
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:27:02 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
or are your salespeople now not 'actually' comcast
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:27:39 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
nice, thanks for that last statement. Taking blame but not doing anything.
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:27:47 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
nice sinker, for your company
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:28:14 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
thanks for making sure I will NOT lose this battle no matter how big this company is with that big smile
Sh_(Fri Mar 05 2010 17:29:12 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
adios, and btw, the job market out here really sucks, just remember that later. There is always a way to do the right thing and just jerking people around then admitting it really does not work for anyone
Br (Fri Mar 05 2010 20:37:46 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>
Again I do apologise for the Misinformation. I am sure broadbandoffers.com will be able to assist you with this. Is there any other questions i can answer for you today.

Damage Resulting = We are out 110$ and have had 3 months of having to share an extremely slow connection with a friend in our building. I can't write (this is our passive income!!) because I can't load pictures. It takes 3 minutes just to load an email! And all the time I have spent asking, waiting, being lied to is ridiculous. I need to spread this far and wide and see how many other people they have done this to. It is a multi-level scam between them and 'affiliates' so none of them have to take the blame and they can sell you shoddy equipment you just can't use. Now I am going to go list this modem on Ebay and hope I can get at least 30$ of our money back...
