Recently Overheard: Comcast Booting

Jan 22 2013 1 Comment  79 views

Comcast Van

I’ve been a Comcast subscriber for over ten years now, and quite frankly, their customer service leaves A LOT to be desired. If I were another ISP with decent speeds in my area, I’d say good-bye to cable in a heartbeat. So, when I came across this photo of a Comcast van that had been booted for traffic violations in Chicago, my first thought was that Karma is a bitch. In time, though, the irony of the situation brought a few other possible comments to mind.

    • Did you try disconnecting the van from its power source for sixty seconds and restarting it?
    • The boot is attached to a third-party tire? Sorry, we don’t support that configuration.
    • We can send someone to remove the boot between 8AM and 8PM. Will you be at the vehicle?
