It's funny - I never thought any cable service could be worse than Adelphia, but if first impressions are to be believed Comcast really takes the cake.

Last night I decided that, since Comcast finally finished their buyout of Adelphia in Vermont, now was the perfect time to upgrade my service. I phoned in and was greeted by a woman with an almost incomprehensible accent. As the conversation progressed... well I can't even bring myself to relive it. Suffice it to say I'll be at the Comcast store and asking exactly what I signed up for. But before I cut this off prematurely, I'd just like to point out how incredibly stupid it is that I had to pay $1.99 to upgrade my service and give them more money. And I thought Adelphia made things hurt.
