—>After spending almost 4 months trying to get Comcast to fix the signal problems with his cable, reader William, who lives in an apartment building that only allows Comcast, has decided to just cancel his his account and go without. More »
—>Reader Evan canceled Comcast — which seems to have lead to a barrage of annoying phone calls that simply will not stop. A little Googling turned up others with the same problem... More »
—> Comcast says their investigation shows that their systems were functioning properly, so they've turned the case over to the FBI. More »
—>Were you enjoing the free porno that Comcast provided during the Super Bowl? Would you like to finish watching it? Well, the maker of the film is offering a $10 coupon so that you can. More »
