Comcast ruined a customer's future career.

do you honestly know a company that offers internet better that google fiber in the whole us, in the few places it is, it really destroys other offers, as for their web stuff well like a lot of things that's subjective to people preferences 

Well no but now that's a double standard. Nobody offers countrywide service that's excellent. Google barely offers service at all for that matter.

 

I have university fiber which is around 500MB/s over ethernet, I manage 200MB/s over their wireless AC.

lol #optimumonlineFTW #newjerseyperks

 

I'm in NY but I feel exactly the same. A few years ago their service was lacking, but right now I'd have to say Optimum is the best ISP in the US.

well ofc your going to complain about their fiber services whit those speeds, the difference is barely noticeable, i'm sure you can count how many people have over 100mbit service in the us, also their fiber is suppose to be a wake up call and not to compete directly whit isp's but whit the way things are going the have to push more

Yes technically true yet a bit facetious: We all know that isps like comcast enjoy zone monopolies and had access to tax breaks to improve infrastructure (whenever they used it or not) The only reason why Google can't expand more and quickly it's because of guys like Comcast and the broken rules for isps, not due to Google's unwillingness

[Yoinkerman]

I feel like getting sent dozens of routers and charged $2000 for them would be worse than losing my job.

[Trik'Stari]

I think that Comcast needs to be forced to sell off some of it's territory, they are obviously far too large to behave themselves. For once I think the government should step in lol.

 

(Didn't they do something similar to microsoft back in the 90's? I vaguely remember something about them having a monopoly or almost having one or something)

Comcast just needs to get the fuck out already, there were about 4 months in a row that they were charging us DOUBLE what we were supposed to pay because when we upgraded our modem the dumbass support rep didn't de-activate the old modem.

 

Not to mention the countless hours that had been spent trying to get them to do shit about our internet not working correctly, there were over 10 calls made to them, and multiple online support chats, after we went through all that shit with them they finally decided to send someone out to take a look at the problem, all it was was just a fucking loose barrel connector.

 

They also claimed that us getting 20mb/s down and 5mb/s up on our 30mb/s down 6mb/s up package was NORMAL, and that we were supposed to be getting those speeds even though we clearly were paying for 30mb/s not 20mb/s.

 

I really wish that some high speed internet provider that actually gives a shit about their customers would start up and crush comcast.

 

I'd rather have google fibre than comcast, even if that means google gets to track all my information, though its not like they don't already.... (I use chrome on all my phone, tablet, desktop, and really anything else that is able to have google chrome on it.)

Every single comcast customer just needs to start recording and documenting EVERYTHING like this and putting it up online or if need be sending it to the news (for when comcast cuts your internet off for making bad comments about them).

 

Literally, document every single little thing they do wrong and put it out there. Someone needs to make a "how bad comcast sucks" website.

Lol nice.

[pixeldensity]

next thing you know Comcast has people who complain about their service marked as a target.

 

Isn't this kind of stuff illegal for both Comcast and the company doing the firing. Best thing this guy can do is at least make his story as public as possible, also sue. 

[TroubleKlef]

People paranoid of Google tracking your information should just turn off all of their electronic devices.

 

On topic though, shitty Comcast being shitty. I prefer to have less government intervention but ISPs really need to be regulated. We need more guys like Google offering gigabit for cheap.

[Bluuz]

There's something really wrong with the company that guy worked for if the company obliged comcast's request.

[Yoinkerman]

They did.  And I agree.  Which is bad, when we agree the government should step in.  Comcast has gotten way too fat for its britches.

Comcast were always Assholes. Hell, they were the star example in my debate for Social class about how NAFTA was bad for NA.

*Does spit take*

This is frankly the fastest I've ever seen my Comcast 802.11ac connection get.

[Victorious Secret]

Remember when articles posted in this section had some effort put into them? 

I remember. 

 

I get that you guys want news out fast, cause it matters, but is it too much to ask that you format it properly, quote the relevant pieces, and all that fun stuff? 

[Psykomantis00]

There is more to the story, I'm sure of it. This doesn't make any sense at all. 

[Psykomantis00]

 

Figured I'd join in on the fun. 

[Victorious Secret]

There is more to the story, I'm sure of it. This doesn't make any sense at all. 

 

It doesn't. 

 

If its the firm I think it is, and really at that level you have 5 firms capable of handling the books for companies like Comcast, then those firms don't just fire without cause. 

 

They actively AVOID doing that. It paints them in a bad light if a employee is up to no good and word gets out. Potential employees pick firms based off image just as much as the portfolio that image has. Client as well, and they don't need anyone finding out that they tolerate shenanigans in financial matters. 

 

So this guy is hiding something. Or a lot of things. The article on consumerist was very vague and seemed as if it was half assed and hastily written. A lot of things here don't add up at all. Devil's advocate and all, but I don't think Comcast is the evil they normally are here. There are a lot of details being deliberately left out by this man. 

 

Of course, no firm is going to comment on something like this, but no firm at this level straight up fires employees based off something like this either, not off the cuff as it is being portrayed at any rate. You really, really need to TRY to get fired, even the recommendations of a client won't cause it. It takes some serious "You pissed off the partners" to get a pink slip at this level.
