(OK, make that very spotty access; poted Sept. 11.)
I can’t believe it has been six days since I first lost the cable modem access. I have to wait until Sept. 12 before Comcast will even show up. When I called to make the appointment on Sept. 2, I was told that the first available appointment was on Tuesday. I took this to mean Sept. 5, only a few days away. However, on Sept. 5, I had Karen call (since she was at home), and we were informed that they meant Sept. 12.
Un-friggin-believable! We gave a monopoly to a bunch of jackasses. The City of Philadelphia having no balls for permitting competition on Comcast’s home turf is another story entirely. But the short version is: a few years ago, City Council delayed hearings for whether RCN could come into Philadelphia long enough that RCN could no longer viably stay in the picture. Perfect example of Philly politics at work. Damn bunch of crooks. Your choice as to who I’m referring to.
