More customer support troubles with Comcast…

Wow, what is it with Thursday, February 7th? I’ve been having terrible experiences with not just United, but now with Comcast. I first tried setting up recurring payment on their website, but apparently they aren’t processing my card. So I get a phone call from a rep, telling me to call them immediately to figure out billing. I call them up, press 2 for billing, and get sent to an operator. I wait. I listen to hold music for about 12 minutes, and nobody’s picking up. It’s midnight. How can this be? Usually, the billing department is fastest to pick up and the support department takes the longest.
On another note, I got an email from a pilot at Virgin America! He showed that he actually cared about my experience with Virgin… now how many airline pilots do that? Only the ones who feel passionate for the company they work for.
More to come…

Great to see this group emerge on Facebook! There are a number of exciting things happening at Comcast as we begin to embrace the communications opportunities in the on-line world. We have a group in the corporate office that will be increasingly engaging in this space. Makes me even more proud to be a Comcaster.
