Comcast Sucks

I've been without my cable connection since this morning. Even now, I have very slow, intermittent service. I spent a lot of time on the phone with a Comcast service person today, unplugging and replugging equipment, rebooting everything, etc., to no avail. Now, hours later, I have some service, but it's very shaky. I did nothing to the system since I got off the phone with Comcast, yet my cable modem's lights suddenly starting working, at least somewhat. So my guess is that the problem is with them, as usual.

Comcast, however, told me the problem was at my end and that they'd have to send a repair person. Of course that repair person couldn't make it out until tomorrow afternoon sometime, if then. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'll try to go check my email despite the fact my connection is slower than dial-up at the moment and it keeps going on and off at odd intervals. Bear with me. I'm not neglecting the blog today. I just have my hands (and keyboard) tied up by Comcast. Somehow I don't think this kind of thing happens in Europe or Japan. Do you?
