Thread Name: BS: I dumped Comcast
Subject: RE: BS: I dumped Comcast
I'm a Comcast stockholder, but I can't say I'm very happy with Comcast as an Internet Service Provider (ISP). I want an ISP that gives me a good, uninterrupted Internet signal with no extra crap - I get that from AT&T DSL at home. We have Comcast Internet service at the women's center where I do volunteer work. The cable Internet is a bit faster, but Comcast is always fooling around with e-mail and figuring out ways to give us more advertising with our e-mail; and it gives a lot of celebrity garbage on its Website (that you have to go through to access e-mail).
I wish companies could just give me the service I pay for, without adding all sorts of extra doodads that don't work half the time and keep trying to sell me something.
And if they DO have to do all the extra stuff, then they ought to be making money and paying me higher dividends. Comcast paid me $27.18 in dividends last year. Oh, boy.
