Well this AM I awoke to check my email, sorry, can’t do that, I am on Comcast. Tried to check google.com, no problem, cnn, problem but the kicker is comcast.net…problem. Well at least this time it wasn’t just me, its most of Philadelphia, and maybe more. I am not sure what they are doing today. If it were a service upgrade or something, they should do it in the middle of the night, not during the day. If it is a broken cable somewhere, they should be using all of the money that they are not paying in taxes or setting up a public access channel(they promised this one when they started in Philly, and still haven’t delivered, almost 20 years later, yet they still take all of their tax breaks, hmm, pretty good scam if you ask me). But no, they keep giving us crap for service, and I am sure they will soon be telling us about rate increases, that is what they usually do when this happens. Quick someone call Brian Roberts see if his services are down, or if he is getting a pay cut for all of the company’s complaints. No probably just bonuses. I called and left Catherine Brown a message demanding she call me by 8:15AM Monday, because you know those executives are no where to be found when there is trouble. What do they do again? Oh yeah, they steal our money, in return give us the internet, that we the tax paying citizens of the United States paid for the building of with our tax money. Remember people, the Internet was started by researcher working on Defense department research to share information, Comcast, Verizon, AOL, they are all just using what we built to make money off of it. I think we should demand these companies start to reimburse us for what we built for them. Oh sure they keep the infrastructure of it up, oh wait, today they proved they don’t do that, and of course they get huge tax breaks and government grants to do it also, again our tax money. Hmm, why do we pay for these services again? Well thanks Comcast! You win again, and rip us off.
