We had a huge storm last night and this morning we have no Comcast services: no landline, no cable, no computer. They say “there’s no outage in your area, we’ll send someone out Monday afternoon”. Nothing sooner? Nope. So no TV, computer or phone for the weekend. BAH.

Tip the Wink 
Double bah.
Comcast Lies WBAGNFARB.
We’ve had those kinds of things. Terribly frustrating
Typing this on phone is hard so few or no replies or updates.
I hate when this happens! We’ve had brief outages–a couple hours–but nothing like what you’re experiencing. I hope Comcast gets up and running soon!
That sucks. I love the “there is no outage in your area” which implies that, what, you’re lying? You made it up and are just calling for fun? Morons.
We used to have problems with Time Warner like that. Either you’d get a guy in Delhi who was enthusiastic as all hell and promised instant help but was unable to do anything, or you’d get a know-nothing moron who told you there was nothing he could do and he’d have a tech come out in 7-10 days. Then you call back and get a not-moron who fixed it instantly.
I feel your pain. Good luck.
COMCAST SUCKS.
Thinking about you, Rick. Hope it has cooled off.
I’ll post current reading after things are back up.
I figured that would be the case.
Our land line was knocked out and we almost canceled it, but decided otherwise. About an hour before the repairman came it started working, so we canceled the visit. It stopped working. We scheduled another service call and this time he fixed it. Since the problem was outside of the house it was free. But in the time between the outage and calling for service the first time I bought a new phone thinking that was the problem. Now I have two and they both work.
Now we can call you Two-Phone Bob, dialing double danger wherever he goes.
