Comcast's Handy Work

My dad recently switched to Comcast for his home telephone, cable and Internet access services. This is convenient and helps consolidate 3 bills into 1; less mail to receive, less checks to writes, less stamps to apply etc - you get the picture.

The picture above shows Comcast's handy work - quality at it's best!! The Internet router sits on the other side of that lovely cabling job.

One other note on the technician's handy work, he was unable to get Internet connectivity after everything was in place. Can anyone guess the cause of the failed Internet access? Bueller? Bueller? Yup, you nailed it or rather the technician "nailed" it - he put a nail, or to be exact, a staple through the cable as he was securing it to the house. Naturally, this required a second technician needing to be scheduled and dispatched on another day to trouble-shoot and resolve.

This is a testament to the pride, or lack of, that some people take in their work. Oh, by the way Comcast sucks!

I agree- Comcast does suck. If your Comcast’s not working for you (which apparently it isn't), you should try this great new email provider that my friend just got me hooked on. It's called BigString (http://bigstring.com), the new free webmail program. It offers revolutionary features. When you send mail from your BigString free email account, you are protected. BigString is like an automatic shredder for your email. You can self-destruct or change an email that's already been sent or read. Don't leave your messages sitting in peoples' inbox forever.
Try it! Enjoy :)
