Whichever side you believe, one thing is for certain: Comcast employees are very tired (exhibit A, exhibit B).
]]>Then when opening an account (it was the only option in my apartment building) they created 2 accounts (1 at the correct address and 1 at the wrong address) and then shipped all of my equipment to the wrong address. When I called to find out what was going on they had no idea how to close the account with the wrong address because I had equipment out on that account. Then they started sending me bills for the wrong account (but sending them to the correct address).
Plus I think I am forgetting a few things because I know they screwed up my bill a few other times.
]]>I'm glad to see Comcast taking this "very seriously"
]]>You love cox...
]]>C'mon all you Comcast people in Chelmsford MA, I know you can do it!
]]>Talk about despicable. I didn't bring a granola bar to class because it was bagel day! I went hungry so these seat-packers could get a free breakfast! I really have the distinct feeling my rights were violated here.
]]>@Blackneto
I would be calling up a DSL Provider right now if comcast came in and took over.
I will sleep warm tonight with my Internet provided to me by Cox Communications.
@Mantari
I smell a rat in here. GET HIM!!!
Comcast is a capitalist company that can do whatever they want, and you don't have to like it. God bless America!!!
]]>yes, it's f-ing cold up here right now, so an outside hearing isn't entirely conducive to debate either, but at least it would keep the shills awake.
]]>I haven't noticed any issues of service yet, but I'm seriously thinking of going back to DSL.
]]>@ivanthemute: If that had happened, it wouldn't have made blog-news. And, yeah, that's a nice hypothetical, but it absolutely matters. Underneath it, they're filling spaces those spaces so that those who want to actively participate in the process can't do it. If they're participating in the democracy, it really would be one thing. Paying someone to prevent someone else from doing it is another. Not illegal, but wrong. If the hearing is that damned important, next time those folks writing the checks can all get on the Comcastic Express and fill the space themselves.
]]>What's next - Walmart sending it's employees to buy all the sale merchandise at K-Mart???
]]>@zouxou: It's news to me. If I ever find myself in a courtroom or some other situation where I'm examined by a comittee, I'm bringing a cheerleading squad.
]]>I've got to agree with all the comments that this is a really crappy practice, but let me ask, what if the Comcast folks had come of their own volition? Would there be such an uproar if they came on their own time and own dime and still flooded the auditorium?
]]>This actually happens a lot at public hearings, town hall meetings etc. etc.
Its a dispicable practice.
]]>*This* makes me very, very angry.
I can't believe the tenacity of these fuckers.
Comcast can DIAF.
]]>First thing I thought off, looks like Comcast can learn a few things from people, and in this case applied it.
]]>"Such tactics are not unheard of at congressional hearings in Washington, D.C."
Considering this bullshit appears to be legal, I would say that's the bigger problem.
]]>@snazz:that is so awesome in a sickeninly way, heh heh. to bad they didnt pass out pillows that would have rocked!!
]]>Sorry, responded from the gut. They do admit it, which just has to be illegal. If not, why the hell not?
]]>Might it be illegal for a company being sort of investigated at a public hearing to try and pack the room to prohibit free expression from those that the hearing was supposed to benefit? It seems like if it's not an illegal action it is such a dirty trick that it -- in and of itself -- should merit an FCC response. It's disgusting. Someone should get hold of one of those wholly satisfied employees of Comcast and see if they weren't just 'encouraged' but perhaps compensated in some way or even threatened; maybe something like 'you can bill for your attendance at this event.'
]]>As a business move / legal manuevering.. GENIUS!!!
Too bad they got caught.
]]>Just more fuel for the fire. Good job Comcast!
]]>for a company that is professing they did nothing wrong, they really aren't showing it. I hope they get smacked hard by the FCC and i hope this little stunt makes the real voices come out even hard and louder against comcast.
