Comcast calls me all the time trying to sell me on their ~~Trojan horse~~ streaming box or their cell service. I’m polite to the caller cause I know it’s just a gig for them but I always calmly tell them I only have Comcast as I have no other choice and I’d rather peel off my finger nails than give them any other business. It speaks to how bad things are that I’m dying for Verizon of all companies to come “save” me. Hyper-competitive, fucking lol.
Verizon FIOS is like a unicorn. Service is stable, price hasn't moved, support is available, clear and friendly. Install and repair dates are quick.
one day the shoe will drop, been waiting for it for years, but in my little corridor they just keep kicking comcast's ass.
The shoe dropped on most of Verizon's former territory. Basically anywhere they had DSL but didn't want to lay fiber they sold off instead of even trying.
Yeah, if you ended up with frontier or anyone else they sold to you're going to have a bad time.
I had them when I rented and I was also surprised by how few complaints I had
I was so happy when I was able to tell Comcast/Xfinity to suck toads after moving to an area with Google Fiber. Google may be a shit company, but I gotta admit I really love symmetrical gigabit service for $70/month.
There's a local company in my city that offers fiber to the home. I'm so happy not to be stuck with Comcast!
Same! I've lived 3 different places in this city and this is the first one that had an independent fiber internet provider. It's hilarious getting Comcast/Xfinity mailers advertising internet offers that are higher priced and slower than what I have.
Literally me and cox communication
PNW? how the fuck is it that comcast is the best we can get. goddamn google or someone else please fucking save me from comcast
