That's odd, I don't know of anybody who doesn't like Comcast phone.


I don't like it. Â*Mine drops the connection too much.
Besides that, when I lose service to the phone, which has happened far
too often, I also lose the net and TV.
I'm looking at alternatives.

I know of five people who have it in my area, and none have had any
problems. I rarely lose my connection, I have net and TV. I can't even
remember the last time that happened.
The people with phone really like it, it's got a lot of cool and
useful features.


Probably a local thing. But it doesn't matter. All I care about with
a phone is getting a dial tone and voice mail.
All the time. I had one couple hour outage with Ma Bell copper in 40
years when a squirrel chewed through a wire's insulation.
With a few years of Comcast it's already added up to DAYS.
And not because of storms. Incompetence with their software.
Besides, they cost too much. They're paying turtles to go
skateboarding with human chicks with my money. It's a sick outfit.
