Comcast Users Can't Use Email
from the fine,-if-that's-what-you-want dept
It seems that Comcast can't do anything right this week. After getting in trouble for secretly spying on cable modem users, it now turns out that most Comcast subscribers haven't been able to use email for the past day or so. Comcast says they're "working on it". They're doing such a great job building confidence in broadband. I can't wait until my cable service provider, AT&T Broadband, completes selling out to them. Then I, too, will get to experience the wonders of Comcast's service.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Comcast is suck'n
They send a letter out as well once a week explaining how to do all this so that you don't "miss out".
You download some inane program that is ~20 megs and installs some sort of "maintenance" program that runs as a service.
The installer crashed my pc hard but finally did install ok I guess.
And now, after finally doing all this to get them off my back the email is borked! Their website comes and goes in spasms.
I never thought I would say this, but since I rarely play net games anymore, I'm almost tempted to go back to dialup. It's half the cost and I'm really not liking the intrusions I'm forced to agree to for the "privilage" of using broadband.
I have DSL at work which is a little slower, but I actually am starting to prefer it.

Comcast email, service in general
Oh, did I mention that, more often than not, the connection doesn't work at all?
