I got a flyer in the snail mail the other day that said “surf fiber internet will soon be available to you”. My Mom has fiber internet in another state, and I know it’s fast for her (albeit she has verizon fios). I live in the USA Midwest Chicago area- and I have had comcast xfinity for 20+ years here. They are a ripoff. I am charged 88.95 a month USD. I have no TV or any other services other than basic internet (I think it’s the second lowest speed- they may call it “performance internet”)
What I did notice (and this may be a coincidence) was that they must be doing some construction on my street because they made survey marks on my property and painted where the gas line and water lines are. Could this be because they are putting in the fiber cables?
Thinking of switching but want to get opinions of others. Besides cost reasons, comcast can suck off because they are basically part of other hollywood support corporations that are part of ACE. (this is the other reason I want to do it)
When you cancel your Comcast, telling them you’re moving internationally ends things much faster than saying you’re switching providers.
Similar tactic for cellular service: tell them the company you work for is giving you a phone. That has worked for me in the past. It’s impossible for them to compete with free.
Lol when I did this they had the balls to ask me if I knew who was moving into the house I was currently selling so I could move to Germany. Fuck Comcast.
Incredible, right?! Telling them you’re moving internationally speeds up account cancelation, but they’ll still keep you on the phone for like ten minutes!
I assume you have a good story behind this
