Internet Service, TV Service - Cable, Phone Wiring
About us
Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) is a global media and technology company with two primary businesses, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. Comcast Cable is the nation's largest video, high-speed Internet and phone provider to residential customers under the XFINITY brand and also provides these services to businesses. NBCUniversal operates 30 news, entertainment and sports cable networks, the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, television production operations, television station groups, Universal Pictures and Universal Parks and Resorts.
They charge for every little thing. They charge you a service call to come out to the house. The people you talk to on the phone are not professional. They use slang words. Some of them I would say English is not their first language so it is very difficult to speak to someone. It is very difficult to get a price for anything online. They are pretty much the only ones in the area, the others are fiber optic or satellite.
Description of Work: My mom has Comcast for internet and cable. I talked to them a few weeks ago.

I have had Comcast as my internet provider for 12 years. Over this time the service has gone down, they have sent people out or told me over the phone that it is my equipment. I am always told I need to rent their box, so that when it failed they could just replace. Only it has never been my equipment. I bought a new computer, hooked it up to the cable modem and wireless router and all worked perfect for 3 days. Calls to Comcast. No help, my equipment again. I hire an outside tech for installing my network, I have 2 laptops and a desktop. This last time I had 2 new modems, the tech and Comcast. The tech was at my house for 4 hours, installing 3 different modems with no success, he left me with the new modem hooked up but no internet. Comcast said it was in the lines. That was Saturday, on Monday evening the modem looked like it was working so I went online and finished the set up per the screen. I was thrilled to be back online, but the wireless doesn't work only the modem when connected to the computer which means I also ccouldn't print anything as I have wireless printers. Call Comcast and they pass me around and around. Used up all my cell phone minutes and still no one can help me get this all connected.The modem goes off and on at will, now it is on but no internet. Comcast is useless. I spent another 3 hours on the phone with them being dropped or not connected. In the end, it comes down to the fact that COMCAST DOESN'T HAVE FREE SUPPORT, you have to pay for it monthly. I wish they would have told me that from the begining. I will hire someone else to come out and set this up. So far, I have spent $99 dollars on the first tech, $90 dollars on a new modem, $150 on a new wireless. I went to Direct TV, 2 years agos I was so fed up with the TV service, but can't do that for the internet. BTW, I love the direct tv.

It was a package deal. They gave me a kit to hook it up. I had to call them to get everything setup. I hooked up the kit. I tried to call them. The number they gave me for activation did not work. Eventually, I got a hold of somebody, who forwarded me onto someone else who forwarded me onto someone else. I was on the phone for an hour and then they hung up on me. I had to start the process again. I finally got to somebody and I was able to call out of the house, but even right now, at times nobody can call me. The equipment seem fine. The hardware works. I haven't been able to get it bidirectional properly yet. They are the only providers in my area, I have no choice but to use them.
Description of Work: I used the services of Comcast for phone wiring.

Overall, for being the only game in town, Comcast isn't bad. I do feel it can be pricey and I am not always happy with the quality of programming available. Generally, I find the service people good, although not usually prompt.
Description of Work: Added cable box, repaired connection

I have been using Comcast for my internet service for 4 years. My internet service right now is pathetically slow, it is not working well at all. I want to look into something different, because I am not really happy with the quality.

I am billed at the middle of the month. If I had a chance to switch off of Comcast I would but they are the only service provider around. My issue with them is that their pricing is just ridiculous.
Description of Work: Comcast has been my internet and cable television service provider from the last 15 years.

I think it is a reasonable price for the bundle. I have had very good success with their services. We did have a problem but they fixed it. I think they are very friendly and on time. I will continue to use Comcast in the future.
Description of Work: They provide our TV, Internet and Telephone, we have the bundle.
