What's the difference between a blood-sucker and Comcast?

A blood-sucker doesn't keep sucking (and f---ing) you 24/7, 365 days a year, year after year. It usually stops for a break (or dies). Comcast doesn't.

* * * * *

During the biggest recession since the Great Depression of the 30's, Comcast raises its rates (two months ago).

And their "Customer Satisfaction Guarantee" they so proudly tout?
A crock of ----.

Motto of Comcast: Greed.
Guiding Principle of Comcast: Greed (at any price).
Modus Operandi Comcast: Greed (and lies).

Die, Comcast, die.

(But to do this, you'll need to push a stake where there should be a heart).

Know your Seattle Cable Customer Bill of Rights.

Complaints can be sent to the City of Seattle at:
http://www.seattle.gov....

Or call Brenda Tate at 206-386-1989 or the 24-hour Cableline at 206-684-8498.

Ask the City to cancel its arrangement with Comcast.

Know why you may get so much junk mail?

Comcast just happened to stuff along with a Comcast bill--full of other "literature" that you probably just tossed out as soon as you opened it-- a small white card which read in very un-sexy small print:

"Limitation of Disclosure: Please do not disclose my name and address for non-cable purposes. [Name/address/Account #/Date].

In other words, unless you have filled out a form and send it to them, Comcast is selling your personal information.

Anyone for a class-action suit?

Recent letter from Comcast to its employees:

"Comcasters,

Our great company has been nominated by The Consumerist as one of the "Worst Companies in America in 2011" in their annual survey. We have all been working very hard to create a customer experience that we are proud of and need to come together to send a strong message that we simply don't deserve this title.

We encourage you to participate in this poll and to vote with your heart to tell America that we are proud of our company. Participation is purely voluntary, and in the event you choose to vote, here's what you need to know:

* DO NOT vote for Comcast. When you cast your ballot, vote for the other company. Remember, you're voting for the "Worst Company in America."
* Click on the following link and vote: http://consumeris...
* Feel free to vote from the office and at home on your personal computers and laptops. You can also vote via the web browser on your cell phones, iPads, tablets and other web-enabled wireless devices.

When you cast your ballot, vote for the other company. Remember, you're voting for the "Worst Company in America."

Together, we are making a difference for our customers. Let's stand up for ourselves and vote for what we know is right. In fact, the Consumerist sent us a letting encouraging us to "rally your troops."

What else needs saying?

Comcast bullies its own employees into cheating? Nothin' new.

The W -- o -- e (rhymes with "sore") of the cable operator industry in the 21st century.

Anything for an extra buck or two, although $10, $100, $1,000+ are even hotter. To the highest bidder--or sucker--go its "premium services." A trick is a trick, and they do all the tricks with a price for everyone.

You call one day because you have tiling and a blank screen on one channel. The representative witnesses and notes it. Five days late, more of the same thing.

But you have to wait half an hour before you can speak to a rep, who tries to set you up with a technician, as the picture is back, and insists it's a problem with your hook-up connections (fat chance, the things are screwed on so tight that even with pliers it's difficult to disconnect anything).

A waste of time since the problem is at there end with the signal.

To add insult to injury, the rep admonished me that "they can't keep giving you endless credits [34 cents a day, for the one premium channel I watch] for their screw-ups! They're obligated by the Cable Communications Law signed with the City of Seattle to provide recompense.

Going on ten years now...and all Comcast can think of is squeezing as much $$ out of its customers as possible (raising rates in the "fine print" of your bills, hawking all and everything that would make even the raunchiest of pi--s blush).

Une vraie ordure, as the French would say.
