Who hasn’t had fantasies like this? - It may be a maddening wait to speak to a real human being at technical support, waiting for a service call that never happens, waiting for a rebate that may or may not arrive… It generates such frustrations. However, for those of us who still require a spotless criminal record and may have to undergo some future security check, we restrain ourselves. Seventy five year old Mona Shaw is not under such restraints.
Mona Shaw was let Comcast know exactly what she thought of them:
“…Hammer time: Shaw storms in the company’s office. BAM! She whacks the keyboard of the customer service rep. BAM! Down goes the monitor. BAM! She totals the telephone. People scatter, scream, cops show up and what does she do? POW! A parting shot to the phone!
“They cuffed me right then,” she says.
Her take on Comcast: “What a bunch of sub-moronic imbeciles.”"

It’s against the law. It is not that this space advocates physical destruction. However, Ms Shaw, thanks for ’striking a blow’ for some honest service.

I never thought of using a hammer. I was a long term customer of Road Runner broadband until the company was bought out locally and I found myself “serviced” by Comcast which in three months doubled my rates and lowered my speeds. I called their customer service and they literally said they were doing me a favor and if I would just bundle with their cable tv they would give me the old rate. I decided to go to DSL. Under Road Runner I had set up an auto payment on my checking account and was worried that they might continue to access my account so in advance of the transition I stopped payment and paid the “Last” bill with a check. I took back all of the equipment in its original box. A month later I received an invoice from Comcast for $118 + for unspecified services. I took this to their storefront to find out what was going on. The customer service person looked up my account and told me that the invoice was wrong and that I did not owe the money. A month later I received another invoice for the same amount. I called their national customer service line to complain. I was stone walled but they could not tell me what the services were that I owed them $118 + for.
I now receive weekly calls from a collection agency requesting payment and I tell them to send me an invoice specifying the services in question and I would gladly pay if the invoice is valid. I like my DSL a lot.
