I got hooked up pretty well. The best part is, I'm no longer a customer of comcast!

My story:

I went to pay my verizon bill, and saw an ad on verizon's site for awesome combo, so I called verizon and said "i want that". Then I said, hold on, I gotta call comcast to make sure i can cancel. The rep said "sure, go ahead, i'll wait." Quite sporting huh? So I put him on hold and dial up comcast. Fight through their automated system, sit on hold for about 30min.

While I'm on hold, I put the hold system on hold and switch back to verizon. I say "sorry, working on it, on hold..." and the verizon rep says "jay?" and i'm like "um... yes?" and then it clicked, and i was like "DAVE!" so i said i'll be back shortly, don't go anywhere. So i went back and fought with comcast. Lady's like let me pull up your bill, put me on hold for 10 minutes, came back and said i need the last 4 of your social, put me on hold for 10 more min, i had to listen to a million crappy commercials for comcast while I was on too.

Eventually, and i'm pretty sure it was well over an hour, I returned to dave. Bundled verizon phone, internet, and tv. I had already had internet and phone, i upgraded both and added tv. Dave was very helpful through-out the process, but was unable to give me a free laptop, as apparently they're only for dsl customers.

Come on though, they're dsl, what are they gonna do with a laptop, use it to warm their lap? Alas, rules are rules, what can you do. I got a $75 visa gift card though, and money off for the first few months. They'll be out Tuesday to install my service.

In closing, thanks Dave!

I was going to change the name on your account to "Jay" so I would recognize you sooner if you ever call back...

Have you ever listened to your company hold music for a long time? It is two statements repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... By the time you got done with Comcast I was ready to drink the coolaid :eek:

Don't forget to post up a new speed test when the upgrade goes through. That 35m speed just started this week, I haven't gotten any feed back from customers yet...

Jay did say something in closing that made the rest of my day at work tolorable....
