However, I did lose the entire premiere episode due to something that fixed itself one minute after ten:rolleyes: . Aside from that, I really don’t have any complaints against Comcast. The last five minutes were great. Hell, the whole episode was great. Ava ---

Just the last minute or so for me. And now about a dozen of my premium channels “will be available shortly” for about the last 40 minutes. ---

Just in case someones cable didn’t go out. DO NOT SPOIL! Hopefully during the week the reruns won’t get ruined either. ---

I lost last season’s season finale of Buffy. That’s when I got a dish. My dish goes out for a maximum of 15 minutes in the middle of a blizzard. That’s IT. ---

I love Comcast. During the entire time our cable system was owned by AT&T, there was no cable modem available at my house. It was always “coming soon”. Comcast took over a couple months ago, and I’ve had a cable modem for two weeks. ---

Not too many problems with ComCast yet, but I know how frustrating it can be for cable to go out at inopportune times. Years ago my roommie and I were watching a made for CrapTV movie. It was stupid, but we got rather caught up in it. There was maybe 3 minutes left. It went like this: “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict?” “We have, your honor.” “How do you find the defendant?” “We, the jury, find the defendant to be…” _static_ ---

Hmmpf – my beef with Comcast is that they recently bought out AT&T broadband who had previously bought out Mediaone. So I had to switch my email address from FirstInitialLastName.mediaone to FILastName.attbi. No forwarding and it caused some problems, particularly with PayPal (who is a whole other special shower of idiots). Now, 2 years later, I not only have to change my email again, but someone else in the vast Comcast monopoly already has my first initial and last name, so I’ll have to have something lame like [FirstName.LastName@comcast.com](mailto:FirstName.LastName@comcast.com). Which means that there’s a huge chance that someone else is going to be getting my email from now on. (They are, however, welcome to the vast amounts of luridly vile SPAM that I’ve been receiving lately.)
