How's the foot doing today?
Surprisingly a lot better. still mildly swollen and hurts a bit when the stung area rubs against the shoe, but nothing like yesterday.
I have experienced the same thing, luckily here in Portland, Comcast actually has competition (Qwest) and I have successfully played them off against one another to keep the price the same for over 2 years.
I switched to dish yesterday. So far I'm pretty impressed with their customer service. They installed on a Sunday. They got there when they said they would. The technician set everything up (hooked everything up on my tv's, I didn't have to lift a fingure). After the technician left I had a problem with my DVR (it was overheating due to a defective fan) and someone was back at my house within 2 hours to replace the unit. So far so good, and between the switch to dish and my new internet service provider (Clear) I'm spending half as much on tv and internet as I was before with Comcast.
We have everything bundled together and the customer service for the TV and internet are great we can call them at midnight on a Saturday and they will fix the problem free of charge, but the phone part sucks. Hubby called the 24 hr service number, was told they were just an after hours center and all they could do was start a ticket for someone to come out the next day and charge us $40 just for showing up...hubby said no thanks. We hooked up a non-digital phone where the line comes into the house and no dial tone...so it is an outside issue. He called them friday morning during normal business hours about it and they were going dial into the neighborhood box to see if something was wrong while they set up in appointment for someone to come out that afternoon to take a look. Well whatever they did when they hooked into the neighborhood box fixed it and we cancelled the dude. Even an outside problem was a $40 fee for them just to show up.
