The cable modem has not been working too well lately. Off and on, and reset and unplug... but it always went back to working after some yelling and hitting. Yesterday it decided to shut itself off for a few hours. So, I called comcast and asked for a new modem. They said that my choices were to take it myself to the Comcast store in West Orange, or to wait for someone to come today between 11 -1. They also said there was no guarantee that the West Orange store would have an extra modem for me, but the repair man would. So, I choose the repair man option. But it is now 1:07 and he is still not here. I have things to do. Screw you comcast and your crappy cable modems and your late repair men and your high prices! |

You should have went to the store first, and then if they had a modem for, cancelled the appointment. |

Well, now I hate comcast even more. The guy shows up an hour late and tells me that because the modem was working when he got here that he can't replace it. I asked him if you would like sit sit down a wait a little while becasue it would eventually shut itself off. He told me he had to leave. So, I guess I will just hit the thing with a hammer, or spill some orange juice inside it and then bring it into the store. |

Problem solved. Bought a new, better cable modem from Newegg.com for $45 after the rebate. In the long run it might save me money. No more $3 charge + tax every month for renting the stupid thing. Take that Comcast. |
