I FORGOT TO POST MY BITCH TODAY...I HAVE COMCAST
Unlimited bandwidth isn't here yet
Comcast shutting down heavy users
By Nick Farrell: Sunday 11 February 2007, 23:10
US telco Comcast is shutting down users who seem to think that its 'unlimited bandwidth' actually means what it says on the tin.
Writing in his bog, u235sentinel has complained that his service has been switched off for going over a few hundred Gigabytes for two months in a row.
Comcast apparently does have a monthly download limitation which it is not telling punters, even though it advertises its service as 'unlimited'. u235sentinel says that while many would be happy to see the back of a bloke who they dub a bandwidth hog, no one is really sure what they think a user should be downloading.
When he called up Comcast to ask why he had been disconnected he was told that what he had bought was not unlimited bandwidth but something called "unlimited access". He said that if there was a limit in bandwidth it would be nice if Comcast could tell him what it was so he didn?t go over it.
Comcast on the other hand is telling him that he must shell out $1700 for a commercial account.
u235sentinel said that the only reason he stuck with Comcast was because it had 90 per cent coverage of the Salt Lake Valley and the only competition, Qwest, keeps pushing DSL availability back.
Well sheesh kebab. µ

HIS INFO
February 10, 2007
I really appreciate the work of the Consumerist and Digg in getting the word out about Comcasts practice of terminating HSI service.
I've been accused of many things these last few weeks. Let's be clear. The reason my HSI service was terminated was because I violated a monthly download limitation which Comcast is not willing to disclose. People online have mentioned they were happy to see me gone as I was a "bandwidth hog". Those same people however have been unwilling to post what they believe a internet user should be using monthly. In my research I've found people terminated for downloading anywhere from 60-100 Gigs. The number seems to change depending which state they live.
When I signed up, here is the advertisement I saw on Comcast's web site. They stated they were offering "Unlimited Use for a flat monthly fee". This was many years ago. If you speak with someone from their abuse department, they will tell you "it's not unlimited use, it's unlimited access. "It's true they currently don't advertise unlimited use anymore and I'm ok with that. If there is some limit I am required to obey then they should state what it is. Other companies are not afraid to disclose the limitations. It should be noted that Cox Communications fought for some time to hide the limits until consumers forced them to disclose.
I've been asked why not fire Comcast and go with another provider (like DSL or utopianet). I'd love to. Unfortunately it's either Comcast HSI or a 28.8 dial up connection. Comcast has 90% coverage of the Salt Lake Valley and Qwest keeps pushing DSL availability back month after month. In my research I've learned that Comcast isn't Clark Howard's favorite company. I found an article here and here which clearly shows how he feels about them. The issue he has seems to be their "very strange and unprofessional way to let customers know." For those who don't know who is he, Clark Howard is a self made millionare who is involved in consumer advocacy. I've been listening to him for years on KSL radio 1160.
So here we are. According to Jackie and Sara of Comcast's escalation department (did you guys know they had one?), we don't qualify for a residential OR a business account. Our only option now is to sign up for a Commercial account. For only $1700 and $1000 monthly we can have Comcast HSI back to our home. Of course I've been asking for a quote for the last week and am still waiting. In all fairness, the one guy who could provide the quote was away most of last week. I'll be following up with him on Monday.
http://comcastissue.blogspot.com/
Feb. 1, 2007
My wife's conversation with Sarah, head of Comcast's escalation dept. about 10 am.
Me- Hello
S- I'm looking for Frank or Elizabeth
Me- I'm Elizabeth
S- This is Sarah from Comcast ...
Me- Oh yes you called last night and I tried to call you back and left you a message.
S- I know, I had to leave early yesterday.
Me- Ok, So what's going on?
S- Well we aren't able to give you residential or business acct., but we can give you a commercial acct.
Me- What is that?
S- It would be a direct line for your own use connected to your house.
Me- Wow, how much would that be?
S- About $1700 to install and then about $1000 a month service fee.
Me- What the? Are you kidding me, we can't afford that!!
S- Well that is your only option.
Me- Why not the business account?
S- You use to much to be eligible for those accounts and since you have a business that uses so much broadband, you need to have your own direct line.
Me- We have a very! Small business and have had it for 3 + years and never had this kind of usage as has been the last few months. That is a ridiculous thing to suggest and doesn't make any sense. We have 6 children and a budget. This is outrageous and I can't believe you would even consider suggesting such a thing. Would you do it?
S- No, I don't need it and you have a business that apparently does use that much.
Me- Haven't you heard anything that we have been saying as to our ideas of why the usage was so high. Like the spyware that my husband found on his machine that was piggy backing and downloading through our line. Also it isn't a coincidence that the same month our modem was switched that the usage went through the roof. That would cause it if it wasn't capped.
S- We have never had that happen before. It was checked and it doesn't seem to be the problem and as to spyware you should be using an application to detect such things so you don't have those problems.
Me- He does have those and it still can happen and did, and as to the modem I don't believe you could have checked it, since it isn't running right now and it is too much of a coincidence to ignore.
S- What is done is done, we can't reverse it, but you can get the commercial line.
Me- No we aren't going to do that. There is no way we could afford that. You are basically leaving us without any real options and that is unacceptable. We don't have any other ways to get high speed internet and DSL isn't in our area. But that doesn't matter to you.
S- I understand how you feel but we can't do anything about it.
Me- I don't think you really do understand or you wouldn't be doing this to begin with.
S- I am sorry you are having this problem, but you ignored the warning.
Me- Are we back to that again. As far as I am concerned you all are responsible for our loosing the internet acct. If the customer service had actually confirmed to us that there was a problem we would have looked into it and tried to resolve it last month. We wouldn't have ignored it. We rely on internet a great deal. My husband needs it for work and we wouldn't have wanted to jeopardize that.
S- We are sorry that the customer service didn't deal with you properly and we are dealing with that. All the same you were called and you were given a direct number to call the abuse team directly.
Me- We tried with what we had and just got messages and so we tried to call customer service to help us. They told us it was probably a hoax and to ignore it. They should have had some kind of note logged in our acct. to confirm a problem. Based on what they told us, what were we to seriously think. Want to talk about confusing.
S- I can understand how you feel and they shouldn't have said that.
Me- It seems to me that you all should take responsibility for your part in this mess. Your customer service should have given correct information to us. As a result you should be dealing with the result and be apologizing and trying to rectify the problem.
S- I understand how you feel, but we can't do anything about it.
Me- You know thinking about it, when I did talk to the abuse team that they even had suggested a business acct. upgrade and based on what you are saying we wouldn't have been able to do that either.
S- They shouldn't have suggested that. Based on your usage the business acct. would have been to light for your use.
Me- So they gave us the wrong information too. So how can we be blamed for something you all are telling us. How are we supposed to know what to do?
S- Well you should have limited your usage for starters.
Me- We don't normally use that much. We have been with Comcast for about 4 years and have always been doing the same thing, nothing has changed and now we have excessive usage. I just don't see how that is possible. We need a residential or business acct. We will make sure we don't go over our limits, whatever those may be.
S- I understand your dilemma. But based on recent history, you would be back to square one and we can't take that chance of reversing the acct. and letting you back on to do the same thing again. You will have to wait til Jan 2008 to get reconnected.
Me- I don't think you are getting it. Aren't you caring at all about the predicament you have put us into? There is no way we can wait a year and you know it. That is nuts.
S- We apologize for your inconvenience, but you should have dealt with it.
Me- It seems to me we are just running this around in circles, not getting anywhere. So it doesn't matter our reasons and no matter what I say nothing will change your mind. Is that where we are at?
S- That is right, we can't help you at this time.
Me- (Looooooonnnnnnngggggg pause, trying to keep from crying). I finally say, well I guess there isn't anything left.
S- I'm sorry.
Me- I'm sure you will be. Bye
S- Thank you and have a nice day.
Me- (mumbling and rolling my eyes) yeah right.
Both hang up.
At this point my wife calls my cell and gives me the run down.
We decide it's time to get the word out and tell everyone what Comcast is doing. Neighbors are shocked to hear what's going on and express concern. I called Bill Gephart, spoke with Matt at the news desk and will be working with him to setup a time to be interviewed. He said ?I'm not blowing you off but we have the next few days booked. Give me your Comcast account number so I can call them and start investigating this?.
Gave the number ... ?Ok. I'll call them and find out what's going on?. What would like like them to do?
I said ?turn on the service as I'll be watching it and throttling anything that would cause problems. I also promise once their competition visits West Jordan I'll be jumping ship. This has left a bad taste in my mouth?.
Matt. ?I understand... I'll get right on it and thanks!?
So now it's time to bring competition to West Jordan Utah and time to get even more involved with my cities politics. It's time to bring UTOPIANET.ORG to West Jordan.

@Janrocks, the reason you see so many sexy yum-yums trying to sell products is simple,
men are pigs, we see a curvy young female and we start thinking with the other head. Don't matter what it is that she is selling, we know that we want it. Women don't fall for such simple stuff. As far as the comment about the pretty young lass in the outfit you said no one would object to,,, well I'd hate to think of Ireland or DDP posing in that outfit, would scare the hoo-hah out of a lot of us.

That story is crazy and kind of scary to hear as that guy lives right in my area. From what my friend told me West Jordan opt out of the UTopia project but, maybe something like this will get the city back in, hopefully, as Fiber is only $40-$60/mo. depending on the provider and the usage is really unlimited except from a smaller ISP named X Mission which limits you to 100GB. I looked and looked on both the AT&T and another provider's websites and could not find anything that talked about Bandwidth usage.
Best of luck to this guy, hopefully things will go well for him.

Hi Everyone,
My very very sad (sob) bitch for today:
Lost 4 month old female cattle dog. I am afraid that she may have been taken by a cougar. The real bitch...this is my son's dog, he is 8 and he is so bummed. He has been crying a lot. It is killing me. I looked for hours and hours today.
Soooo....folks. Pick your god and pray. Or just hope real hard if you don't use one... It is a real long shot for her to be alive after dark. Her name is Chica, please hope/commune/wish for her safety, or my son's recovery from his abject greif. Either one would be a blessing.
...sad Kitty...NOW IRELAND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! Geeze...
(This is not meant to be a religious post...Only hoping for dog back, I hope it is not taken that way...just thought about that...sorry!)

@Kitty
I hope you find her! I hope that if she was indeed taken that she didn't suffer and that your son will get over the loss of his beloved pet which can take a long time as I had a similar experience when my Golden Retriever died about four years ago. It took me a while as I had lived my whole life with her by my side.
I still, every once in a while, get tears in my eyes when I see pictures of her and due to how much and how long I denied that I had lost her I even sometimes think she is still around, even though I know she really isn't. :'(

@aabbccdd - That one looks alot like my wolf... We had to license him for his safety (no one had ever done it! We inherited him) and Malamute is what we put on his breed. They hate it if you say arctic wolf. I hope his thyroid is manageable. I just don't understand what could have happened. None of the big critters ever come close to our property due to said wolf and 3 other grown cow dogs...???
@Pop_Smith - Thanks so much. It is so sad to loose a lifelong friend. I feel so bad for my son as his lifelong relationship was just beginning. I SO SO SO hope that you are right and that if she did get eaten it was very very very very quickly.
Thanks you guys your thoughts help alot...I can fix SO many things but this is not looking like a success for me...

I would except that it "was" my favourite thread.
It'd just be nice to see some sigs made that actually show off their talent and not their proficiency with the cut & paste button.
