Yeah, that’s Comcast for you. They’re the devil.

All phone companies are evil. My phone went down yesterday, and the serviceman said “we will be there tomorrow between 8 and 5″ O.O

It makes me wonder … are these companies really that blind to the way in which information spreads on the very Internet they provide? I mean, one $2 charge has probably caused them, giving Neatorama’s popularity, at the very least a few thousand dollars’ worth of bad PR.
Someday — most likely in a few decades, when more Net- and meme-savvy people come to power in the corporate world — companies are all of a sudden going to be very fawning, simply because they’ll then be aware of the power of the ‘Net to really set their reputation in rather hard stone.

Is it me or is Comcast just digging itself a bigger grave? First the horrible service, then the FCC seat filling scandal, and now this? Jeez.

The original photo (mine) was used without the attribution required by its license and the flickr album it was copied to had an improper copyright statement.

I think I know what happened with the photo confusion now (it was copied to Neatorama’s image server, with attributions to Tyler in the post by me) - my apologies to Tyler Yip. We always try to do right by the photograph owner.
I think removing the photo and replacing it with the one from Consumerist should resolve the matter.
Incidentally, I find the whole idea of the Consumerist blog brilliant - it certainly gives an outlet to people who got bad service from companies.
@Mike Harris: whatever impact Neatorama has, it pales in comparison to it being on Consumerist and on digg. That’s for sure!
And lastly, about comcast itself: actually I used to have comcast for cable internet at home. Believe it or not, they were fine. They show up when the appointment said they would show up and did the job right.
It was when Time Warner Cable bought the operation that the things got bad (at least for me): they didn’t show up or call when they said they would.
I actually wasted a week trying to get cable installed in my new office only to be told that they could *technically* do it, but they’d want another two weeks to see if they would but would gladly take my money first. I went with DSL.

I wanted to stop the Junk Mail but I could never get around to having to pay the 2.00. Maybe I should call them all irate like that guy and get it free.
