Cons: Antiquated DVR hardware, poor software, spotty signal, customer service is poorly organized and trained.

Pros: Comcast is good, providing you are city, not rural.  They also like giving competitors customers.
Cons: This limits our town's ability to get fair and equitable access to television services.

I live in Bowdoin Maine and we have a town contract with Comcast.  As the contract states, Comcast will supply cable t.v. to areas with at least 19 houses per mile.  Which is o.k., in the city.  But most of Bowdoin is rural and houses are ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Continual lies and misrepresentations from Comcast service representatives.

In August 2009, I used the Comcast.com website to initiate what was represented as a 'service transfer' since I was moving from one town to another within the same state. I entered all of the information about the date of my move, etc. Three days ...

Pros: TV, Internet, Phone, OK.  No major issues, yet.
Cons: Customer service, billing, etc, are absolutely terrible.

The TV, Internet, and Phone has actually been fine, mostly.  The problem is that the company is so disjointed and disorganized that when something goes wrong, it goes really, really wrong.Our TV (with cable card) was stolen over 3 years ...

Pros: Triple play is good value, if you get the stuff installed correctly.
Cons: Phone call center staff is just plain ignorant.   Field techs are hit and miss.

Pros: Initially great service when you first sign up. Afterwards, they really won't treat you great.
Cons: Mediocre service and incompetent customer representatives.

We recently transferred to a new residence and had an appointment on Tuesday to have our service transferred there. However, the signal could not be located by Comcast, so the earlier appointment time was SUNDAY 8-11am for someone to come out and take a ...

Pros: I thought long and hard about this.  Answer: None
Cons: 15 words is not NEARLY enough to list them all.

Cons: Poor customer service & costs too much. Weak internet at end of service lines.

Cons: unhelpful  customer service.

Here's a 7-month saga with Comcast. Long story short (and, trust me, this IS the short version...), I canceled my TV in November but kept my internet. January, I find out they're still billing me for TV and have been since November. I had set up ...

Pros: Dependable, high-quality video/audio. Nice (albeit_strictly_text) on-screen "guide." Occasional/temporary price reductions amount to a good deal.
Cons: No free ("Total-Home"/higher-capacity/Web-accessible) DVR. No "picture-in-picture" while channel surfing. Limited “channel_guide.” Less bang per buck.

Cons: Cons: The comcast sales people.

Cons: Confusing "View My Bill" feature.

Over 30 years ago after an argument about with an obnoxious "Cable Guy" over who should pay for my service problems (he determined it was my lines) he said, "Well, we are a LOT cheaper than the phone company so you have nothing to complain about."  ...

Pros: They do answer the phone
Cons: Then they lie to you
