  • My first IT adjacent job was remote support for Support Dot Com who contracted me out to Comcast. This was just as they were trying to get away from the maligned ‘comcast’ brand by calling everything ‘Xfinity’ like they think their customers are idiots. Well, turns out they mostly are. I don’t even think I lasted six months. Despite having the best metrics in the company, I just couldn’t take the abuse, or the lack of downtime between calls.

    Anyway the point is you can call up Comcast and have them put your router into ‘bridge mode’ making it essentially an expensive modem, then connect your own router.






  • I had the displeasure of renting from them once. They screwed my young family coming and going, actively lied to us and misled us into making decisions that benefited them and squeezed us for every penny we had when we were just trying to get a footing in this world, and when we had enough and tried to fight back they responded by destroying my credit and making it impossible to rent elsewhere.

    So you may say she didn’t deserve to die for her evil deeds, but I’m not so sure.
