Nico Rosberg ticked off another milestone at Silverstone on Friday, but he knows there's plenty of hard work still ahead for Mercedes.
After most of the morning session was wiped out by wet conditions, Rosberg set the fastest time of 1:32.248 in Free Practice Two as things cleared up later in the day.
The German was 0.229 quicker than Red Bull's Mark Webber with defending World Champion Sebstian Vettel while Lewis Hamilton was down in P5.
Rosberg, though, knows Mercedes still have a quite a few things to sort out before Sunday's British Grand Prix as their one-lap pace has never been a problem.
"The afternoon went well," he said. "On one lap I think the car is still quick as we have seen in the last few months so qualifying should be okay, and then the only question mark is our race speed. We practiced for the race speed today, it seemed to be okay, decent, but I'm sure it's still going to be a little bit of a problem for us.
"The next thing is that it's going to be another 10 degrees more tomorrow and Sunday, and that could completely change the picture again. That will probably make it a little bit more difficult for us so we will just have to wait and see and make the most of it."
Although he looked smooth out in practice, Rosberg still had a few problems with the balance of his car.
"I kind of went in backwards in to the high-speed corners which was not good so I still have to sort that out," he said. "The difficult thing is to understand what it is that's doing that so we have to do a lot of analysis now to try and figure it out. If you take front wing out okay it helps that area but then it makes everywhere else worse so you have understeer in the middle of corners.
"You want to do something that really just affects the entry in to high-speed corners which for example is where the car is the lowest because the faster you go the more the air pushes the car in to the ground. So it could be that the diffuser isn't working properly going in to high-speed corners because it's just stuck to the ground so it can't work properly; that's one example of things that we have to look at."

Around the first of October, I had made arrangements with Leonard, a Comcast supervisor, to a payment agreement of $75 a week until we get our bill caught up. We made those payments without fail. Throughout this whole time, we kept getting calls stating we had to pay our past due amount. Each time, I would call Comcast to find out what was going on and have to explain about this agreement. Every time I was told that we were not going to have our services interrupted.
On October 24, I was awoken, by my very irate husband, with the announcement that we couldn't call out. Shortly after that, our cable TV was shut off. We still had internet so I contacted them through chat.
I was told to go to the nearest office to have a supervisor give us a written statement about our original agreement so the threatening calls would stop. Right after that, my internet was shut down. We drove to the nearest office, we were given, only to find they only take payments there. So we found the other office and waited for over an hour to talk to one of their representatives. There wasn't any supervisor there! After explaining to Candace what had transpired between Leonard and other employees, she said she would send our information to the call center and our services would be turned back on.
You guessed it. They still were not turned on when we arrived home. This is when my husband discovered we could call Comcast corporate offices directly. Since I had, previously, gotten their number, from here, I called them. The first person I contacted and explained our agreement to said there wasn't any way we could have our services turned back on until we paid the past due amount. I called a little later and talked to another representative, who was rude to me when I asked how his supervisor could call me back when we didn't have that service. He just kept saying that a supervisor would call me back. I told him he was being rude to me when I hadn't been with him. He insisted he wasn't. My husband called the third time and demanded to talk to a supervisor without going into any details. This time, I was put through immediately. (The bill is in my name. So I have to make all the arrangements, payments, etc.) That woman said she would give my information to another department and that we could look at other programs to save us money when someone called me back. Three hours later, another woman called me.
I explained everything as before. She put me on hold while she looked at our records. She couldn't find anything about our agreement with Leonard or anyone else. Even though I had dates with the other employees, she still said that, since she couldn't find any agreements, we would have to pay the past due amount to get our services restored. I then told her that the other lady told me we could get a cheaper package. She said that they could give us the basic program of 10 local channels, the lowest speed internet and local phone service with paid long distance. But, get this, it would cost us more than the promotion we have now. Needless to say, I stayed with our original package, which, by the way, we have never paid that amount either. It's always been higher. She told me that no Comcast employees should ever make payment arrangements, that this is against their policy. I know better. I've been with them for years and have made payment arrangements on many occasions.
I told her our circumstances, that we didn't have the amount they wanted that day.
Then I asked her, "If I agree to pay the past due amount on Wednesday, October 26, will you turn my services back on?"
I pleaded with her, saying please numerous times stating we need our phone and internet since we are looking for employment, selling items to get money to pay Comcast and other bills and have a son, who has mental problems and would freak if he can't get a hold of us. Finally she agreed. Within minutes, we had our services turned back on. I was very thankful to her for this.
But, and this is a big but, I will never trust Comcast again. They ruined my belief they were a good company who cares about their customers. All they did was to lie to me from the beginning when they told me I wouldn't be charged any extra for an upgrade in our services or that they would be interrupted. Something I want to explain is, I didn't call that Sunday because they, normally, don't work on the weekends or late evenings as they once did.
I was led to believe, many times, our payment arrangement was going to be honored. Comcast doesn't have any honor-not anymore. They used to be a great company. Now they deceive people, who think they are getting a good deal, only to be ripped off.
One last note, I looked at our statement, and, according to them, with all the payments we've made and their credits, we are, supposedly, not only in the clear, but actually have overpaid them. Yet, at the end of our conversation, the last supervisor told me we still owe another past due amount of $189. How? We are supposed to have overpaid, but we still owe another past due amount? Also, how in the world could we owe them $546 when we only upgraded to cable TV in August for the promotion of $119 a month? Something smells in Comcast city, and it ain't pretty.

"I know better. I've been with them for years and have made payment arrangements on many occasions." With all respect, it sounds like you're better off to forgo a lot of these extra "necessities" whereas you can't afford them.
Ironic that you're using a service that you're currently unable to pay for, keying in a complaint about Comcast.
Hopefully you will get regular work and be able to afford the extras, but for now, it may be time to cut back.

Comcast Has the Worst Customer Service EVER!!!!
Posted by
VIRGINIA -- I was thinking about becoming a new Comcast customer and made a call to XFINITY. I was routed to the Richmond Virginia office and reached a lady that had no business working anywhere let alone in a customer service call center. I have rocks in my garden that have more signs of intelligence than this person. Not only was she rude, laughing and couldn't answer ANY questions, but she flat out lied. Disgusted with this person I called XFINITY again to reach someone else and asked for a supervisor "crystal" who flat out lied and was just as ghetto spoken as the first individual.
I was looking at a triple play package and was curious about two things. My first question to her was in this package it states (A Digital Voice modem is necessary to bring XFINITY Voice from Comcast into your home. (Add $7.00 per month) I asked if this was included in the $199.99 or would this be in addition to my bill. She said it is included in the $199.99 which is a lie it isn't. Second question was in the check out it says that the package prices do not include applicable taxes and fees. So I asked her if I could get an apx. price of what these taxes and fees might be monthly. After her telling me no 20 times she finally goes hold on and 1 minute later gave me a figure of $18.28 and said we looked it up.
Why wouldn't you do your job as a supervisor in the first place and look it up. So instead of just the 2 questions I decided to ask her a final question and said to avoid the $7.00 monthly rental (the one she said was included) can I just purchase a voice modem and use it? Her answer was no you can't purchase a voice modem and use it (another lie). I called back in hopes of getting someone with some kind of brain and got lucky. I was routed to a person in Washington state and she was able to really answer my questions in 30 seconds.

Any time a contract states, 'Add $7.00 per month'...it is not included and is added as an extra charge. They should have known that and they should have told you that when you asked.

Welcome to Comcast Hell. I put up with their inferior tech support, horrible customer service and overall incompetence because they were the only game in town. When I moved I got FIOS and I'm loving it. Yes you will read complaints but in three years I have had zero problems. Blazing fast internet, reliable phone service and true fiber optic High Def TV. The picture quality is stunning on my 55 inch Samsung 3D TV. Almost every channel I watch is High Def. Comcast doesn't even come close to this. Don't believe the hype, FIOS smokes Comcast.
Obsfucation on 01/25/2013:
My experience is the opposite. I moved from Comcast to FIOS to save money. As soon as my two years are up, I'll be back on Comcast in a flash. The Comcast customer service was light years better than FIOS.
Example: recently my telephone went out on a Thursday. I spent an hour and 15 minutes on hold before I got beyond the muzak. They sent out a tech on Friday. When I got home from work on Friday, the phone was dead, so it was either never fixed, or not fixed correctly. So back on the cell for 90 minutes more of muzak, only to be told that it was too late in the day to send someone out, and (this is unbelievable) they don't work on weekends, so I would be without a telephone until at least Monday.
Ironically, I am now paying them as much as I paid Comcast, so I don't even have that for consolation anymore.
Verizon has made it public tht they are no longer committed to FIOS, and will not be laying any more fiber for it. They decided they would rather back the cellular business. I suspect that FIOS is on the auction block, and they don't much care if anyone likes them or not.
I think it's great that someone likes FIOS, but it sure aint me. I'm counting the days...
NJlady on 02/15/2013:
I wish I had been that lucky. every time you get on the phone, you can't get a hold of anyone intelligent and prepare for feeling like having a shouting match possibly if you go up to corporate. woman I talked to called me a child when I complained and I wasn't even being profane/insulting her. I don't remember what I said anymore but I barely got much of it out. I always think it's funny when jerks call me a child/immature. why is that a bad thing? I'd much rather be that than a cold bitch like you. I get that they are a business but what kind of business treats their customers like they're a piece of trash esp when they say repeatedly they care about us. BS! I also get that mom didn't pay our bill but they said they could wait until a certain date before they cut it off so you're right they lie. they did this twice too in the middle of the night when I was busy doing things for money. you know what the craziest part is the first time before they cut it off, they OFFERED to let us wait as in they brought it up. I HATE when people lie, that is one of my pet peeves. if you were going to cut it off say so. I think they got their brains half off at Goodwill, there's just too many stupid things they do/say.

Lack of Customer Service
Posted by
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- I signed up for the Comcast Triple Play Package in July of 2010. When I signed up, I inquired about their Sports Package and HBO and what kind of promotions they were running. I was informed that if I signed up for Comcast for a year, then I could get the Sports Package and HBO for a year for free. This was excellent news and I signed up to use Comcast.
I am signed up for automatic pay, which I do for convenience expecting Comcast to bill me correctly. Today I was looking at my latest invoice and noticed that I am being charged for the Sports Package and HBO. I noticed that I have been charged for the Sports Package since December, and HBO since March. I decided to call them and ask them to reverse the charges and to be billed correctly going forward.
When I spoke to their customer service representative, they said that they never offered the Sports Package for free to anyone ever. I instructed them to look at any of my invoices prior to December and they will see a $0.00 charge for the Sports Package. They took a look and were surprised but didn't have an explanation for why I wasn't charged. I told them about what I was told when I signed up. They had no notes on that conversation. They then said that I was being charged for HBO because they don't offer it for free. Again, I referenced past history and what was communicated to me when I signed up.
They said that there was nothing that they could do and said that their screen was the only thing they could look at and had provided me with all of the information that they could. I asked if I could speak to a supervisor to see if they could help me. They put me on hold for a few minutes before picking back up (it was the same person). They said that they explained to me what their screen says and could not comment on what I was told before. I explained why I was frustrated as a customer and understood that this service customer agent was explaining only what they could see on the account and why I was frustrated with the miscommunication to the customer when signing up.
I asked if I could speak to a supervisor since the customer service agent did not have the authority to reverse charges. I was told that I could not get one. I explained that I was frustrated that there was no way to get the issue resolved on this phone call and explained that I am moving in a few months and would like to retain Comcast, but with the current billing issues and being unable to get a hold of a supervisor, I may be interested in switching to Verizon. I was told that I can't speak to a supervisor and that they could upgrade my package so that I do receive the Sports Package and HBO free, but my Comcast bill would increase.
I did keep a calm voice throughout the conversation and the customer service agent did listen to my concerns, but I felt as if the customer service agent is just there to listen to the concerns and not really address the issues. I've had something similar happen a few months ago where I no longer had access to the Sports Package or HBO. When I called customer service, I was able to speak to a Supervisor and get the issue resolved. They were able to restore both items and did acknowledge that I was supposed to have them for a year for free.
Having the issue once happens, but happening again and not getting resolution may be the last straw. Once I do have a choice, Verizon may be my new provider. I hope Comcast is able to do something to redeem themselves.

Like a dog with a bone, don't let go of the issue Steve. Keep gnawing on it.
SteveWiginowski on 03/28/2011:
Update: I called Comcast again today. They did identify that I was not being charged for HBO and the Sports Package because I was under a promotion, but they said the promotion ended. I expressed my frustration with being told it's a 1 year promotion when I signed up, then it changes during the year to where now I have to pay for the different items.
They said that I could cancel HBO and the Sports Package if I wanted. I told them that I was very happy when I signed up as a customer because of the promotions they gave me as I really wanted HBO and the Sports Package and that if I had to pay for them, I would. I just didn't want to pay for them when I should be getting them for free. They said they understood, but couldn't do anything for me.
I then told them that I am moving in about a month and want Comcast to do something to try to keep me as a customer, saying that if they are unable to rectify the situation, it is very likely that I will no longer be a Comcast customer when I move. They said that they understand, but there was nothing that could be done.
Eventually they said they would check to see if they could do anything as I was put on hold. Shortly after they came back and said nothing could be done. I told them about my prior phone call and not being able to speak to a supervisor. She then said she would get me over to a supervisor.
A minute later the same person came back on the phone and said they could issue me a credit for 1 month of the items, but would not credit me for the past months for those packages and that they would continue to bill me. I took it, but expressed my displeasure with their inability to provide me with the promise they made to me when I signed up for Comcast.
Verizon Fios, only a month until you will be my provider!

Death by fees, inconsistent pricing and lousy online support

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- Here is the text from my online chat with Comcast today.
Keep in mind I was double checking what a door-to-door representative stopped by and told me this week. Note the TOTAL lack of any level of sales effort.
Had Comcast been on par with my separate services on cost, I may have jumped.

Guest_(Wed May 19 17:34:46 PDT 2010)>Wow. That is almost a non-starter. I'm already an internet customer so I assume the install fee goes away. I'm definitely not a fan of paying 9.95 a month for just the HD tuner. Are you sure that's correct?
[Local representative said absolutely no install fee and never stated a fee for the HD tuner - so that is likely two incorrect pricing quotes]
Jeandra(Wed May 19 20:35:21 PDT 2010)>Sorry, that's One-timeCable and Phone Install Fee - $40.
Jeandra(Wed May 19 20:35:48 PDT 2010)>You will no longer be charged for an Internet Install Fee, Tina.
Guest_(Wed May 19 17:36:49 PDT 2010)>OK, well I guess that makes my decision against the triple play. Too many extra fee's. Thanks.
Jeandra(Wed May 19 20:37:00 PDT 2010)>You're most welcome!
[Wow ... a customer dumps the decision to sign up for Triple play and that's all they do. That's crazy.]
Jeandra(Wed May 19 20:37:01 PDT 2010)>Is there anything else that I may assist you with today?
Guest_(Wed May 19 17:37:15 PDT 2010)>No thanks.
Jeandra(Wed May 19 20:37:41 PDT 2010)>Thank you for confirming that.
Jeandra(Wed May 19 20:37:42 PDT 2010)>It was a pleasure assisting you today.
Jeandra(Wed May 19 20:37:43 PDT 2010)>Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support! Goodbye and enjoy the rest of the day. Do you want to watch full TV shows and movies online? Go to www.fancast.com
So the bottom line is I'm getting conflicting #'s all over the place, hidden fees(a fee NOT to publish my number is stupid].
Conclusion. Customer lost. I'll stick with my Dish Network for TV and $9.95 VOIP phone that works great.

Comcast Crappy Services
Posted by
LAKE BLUFF, ILLINOIS -- Dear Sirs/Madams:
About 3 or more weeks ago I decided to take on a home-business call center job since I was off from work for 3+ months with my hand broken in two places and no money coming into the house. I finally passed all of my qualifications to work for this company, so I decided to call AT&T to put a âdedicated phone lineâ into my computer room area so that I could make some money typing term papers for students (very slowly because my hand was broken and still is) and doing some call center services just to have some sort of money coming into the house because I am a single mother who lives in a $900,000 home and since I had no money coming in I was using all of my saving to survive.
Anyway after speaking with AT&T they gave me some crap about it taking almost 3+ weeks to put in my phone because there were rains all across the United States, and a lot of phone lines were down. I asked AT&T what that had to do with me??? I also told them it was sunny and not raining where I lived. The operator told me that there were no technicians to put in a line for me.
I didnât want to wait, so my next decision was to call Comcast since I already had their cable and two cell phones with Comcast. When I called about 3 or so weeks ago, the operator told me that I was in luck â that I could have something called the Triple Play at approximately the same cost. He said that I would get lot more cable channels, a higher wireless speed on my computer and a dedicated phone line put into my computer room.
On that Friday, a guy (who had no writing on his truck and no credentials to present) said that he was from Comcast and the only reason I let him in is because I did in fact call Comcast. When he came into my house he was very rude to me. He asked me where were my telephone wire connections within the house and I replied that I didnât know. He looked at me in disgust and said that âeveryone should know where the things in their houses areâ. I was very insulted but I needed to have my phone line put into the house so that I could help support myself. I asked him if I could show him around the house and he said no, he could find himself around and that he knew how to turn on the lights. I found that to be a rude statement as well. He asked me if I was using cable or wireless on my computer. I told him that I didnât know because my daughter took care of all the electronics but she was at work and I was letting him in her place. Finally after not finding whatever he was looking for, I volunteered to call my daughter so that she could tell me if our computer was wireless or using cable (or whatever) after I called my daughter to have her explain to him, he walked away and said I donât want to speak to her; I didnât ask you to call her, you speak with her. After a while he asked me where my attic was. I showed him that my attic was located in my clothes closet and I left the room. After some time of going from the attic and back and forth to the basement, he put in a cable box, and drilled a whole into my wall saying that someone else would come out and take care of the wire/cord because he didnât know how to fit that. He also told me that I had a speedier internet. I asked him if I also had a dedicated phone line. He said, âDonât you know what you want â you should have told me that in the first place.â I was furious but I still didnât say anything. I just wanted him to do his work and leave. He started walking out of the door, signaling that he was finished, when I noticed that he hadnât even connected the phone line to the telephone so I asked him if he wouldnât mind doing so. He didnât even check the line to see if it worked or whether I could receive or make calls. Later, after he left, I went outside to empty the garbage. I cried. This guy had drilled a whole completely through my house, dug up the front of my yard to hide the wire into the ground, dug up another part of my front lawn to bring the thick cable wire to the other side of the yard. I also noticed that while stepping into the dirt, he took the dirt off of his shoe by rubbing his shoes onto my sidewalk. I have my house up for sale so everyone that came by to see the house was stepping into mud. If that was not enough, he left the cable wire wrapped around my house, which proceeded to wrap around a HUGH spool where the rest of the cable wire had wrapped. As of today, 9/16/07, the spool still sits on the side of the house, I still have no phone line, I had to pay Dell Computer over $125.00 to put my software back into my computer after this idiot did something to my cable connections or wireless connections that wiped out my software. If that isnât enough, since that cable wire has been sitting right in front of my house where my 5 year old grandson plays at, my grandson tripped over the cable line and busted his lip. I am very scared that I am going to be sued if someone else trips and falls onto my property, so I am losing time and money because I couldnât work on my computer, I still donât have a phone, my front lawn is torn up, there is a live wire crossing my yard, hanging off of a spoolâ¦. When I went back into the house I found out that guy had stood on one of my designer chairs to hoist himself into my attic. He didnât even ask to use a ladder.
I called all day Friday, from the time he left until late Saturday evening. I was hung up on by operators. I was told my operators that they could not send anyone out right away because there was other people waiting for services that were already in line. One SUPERVISOR told me that she didnât have to listen to my frustrations and that she would hang up on me, so I hung up on her first.
On WEDNESDAY of the following week, I got a knock at the door. A Comcast employee showed up to my door. Comcast didnât even mention that they were sending anyone out. Anyway, he presented his credentials, proceeded to fix the cable (which was not working properly), repair a few problems with my computer that Dell forgot to fix, he put the door back onto the attic ceiling which the other guy had left off⦠I asked him why the other guy didnât have credentials and no Comcast written on his truck and the new Comcast guy told me that sometimes Comcast does not send real Comcast people out to fix problems that they sometimes send out contractors. I was so pissed I didnât know what to do. I told this guy my story and he was utterly flabbergasted. He was very nice, very helpful, and extremely sorry that I had been put through the wringer. He compared what he could and said that someone would be out to deal with the hole in the wall, hide the cable wires that were sticking out of the ground and wrapped around my house, and to pick up the large spool of wire that was still sitting on my lawn. I called Comcast right away and thanked them for sending in a wonderful repairman.
I was told that someone was going to come out and inspect the sight and correct all of the mistakes.
On September 19, 2007 my contact with the call center has said that my contract will be voided because I have not kept up with my part of the bargain and worked as an employee on behalf of their company and that my credentials will not be restored without requalifying after 1 year. My mortgage is behind, as are the rest of my bills, I still donât have the âTriple Playâ. Comcast operators are rude. I called Comcast from Lake Bluff, Illinois, which is where I live, and I was still speaking with them on the telephone when I got to Chicago, which is about 50 miles away. I have been lied to, cussed out, hung upon, and told off.
I donât have anything else to say⦠Comcast services speak for itself.

wow JayD... Real charmer aren't we? The poster had issues that she is still dealing with and was trying to get service. They totally screwed her on the install and messed up her home. I am afraid to say it but JayD, not everyone knows where certain things are in the house when it comes to utilities. They should fix her lawn for destroying it that way ini addition to many other things. I believe that she has the right to a month of free service and such and maybe not for lost wages but still deserves compensation for damages.
To the original poster, I hope everything works out for you. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

Over charge
Posted by
Not too long ago, I used to just pay my Comcast bill, without even looking at it, and pay it on time, I trusted there billing department, what a big mistake that was, but I recently became a penny pincher, I started examining my last bill, and it just didn't make sense, I had transfer my service from my old place to my new apartment, and just before leaving a had pay any balance due, pay on the last of August, a basically prepaid the month of September, I talk to them on the phone, told them I need it my service transfer, they just ask me where I was moving to and how many televisions a had, I told them 2,she said in that case will give you and additional cable box, cause I only had one, I said no I didn't want any extra charges, she said, she would waive the fee, she never said anything about transfer fees or installations fee, we just agree on transfer dates,(and my dumb ass never ask about fees)one the day of the move a got a new billed, a was a little surprise, when I move they change my (billing cycle)is very important to know your billing cycle, my old billing cycle ended on the 16th of the month my new one was the 8th I thou, cause that was the date I moved and I got my first billed, wrong they change that on my second bill to the 1th, all this changes without telling me, so on the 16th of August a got bill for my bundle (Triple play) ,on September 8th a got billed again for another triple play bundle, and on the 1st of October a got billed aging for another bundle, in a period of 1 and half month I got billed for 3 months, and that's not all, on the September 8th bill, the charge my for unreturned equipment one cable box and a phone modem, $160 for the box $80 for the modem, a wasted 4 phone calls to them, the cable guy had taken the modem and the other cable box I still had and I was using, the told me to just ignore the charges and that the would go away when the modem show up, and to give them a week to find the modem in there warehouse, which after 3 weeks show up on the system, but my extra bill dint go away, I had my wife call them to find out why the charges still there, they told her it was for installation, I said what $240 for installation?I call them aging and they admitted to double charging me installation, I ask them how much installation was, the told me $60,I ask them how come it I was getting billed $240 he told me that that included first month, but I told him I had pay full a full month already on the 16th of August, he said he could credit me for a partial month $40 credit and eliminated the double charge for the installation, I told him that was better, but the still overcharging me $80 by switching my billing cycles every three weeks, the bills haven't been fixed and I still received bills for the same amount, I going to call one more time for the 5th time, and then I am canceling, my next step is to take them to what ever the name of that agency is to complaint about a corporation. I feel like a need to be reimburse for my time and frustration, since is there mistake. its sad, cause that have a monopoly, there is only two choice for Internet, and one choice for cable in my area, I which the where more choices or better company's.

I think it's very important to check over any bill you receive, instead of just paying and hoping in good faith it's correct. I always check my bills, and had my own issue with Comcast, charging me for a tech call, that I never should have been billed for. I immediately contacted them, and they removed the charge that was in error, right then and there.

July's Nightmare
Posted by
Let me start off by saying that I have been a Comcast customer for over 15 years. I have always received outstanding service!! That was until July 2010. My problems started on July 4 with my cable service, the remote did not work. Since it was a holiday I waited until July 5 to call customer service. I spent about an hour on the phone and they reset my cable box and everything worked. Great I thought!!! Until a couple of days later my internet went out. I called CSR and spent over an hour unplugging and resetting everything before the issue was resolved. Wonderful!! A few day later I started having problems with my cable again. Once again I called CSR and spent over an hour on the phone with them. During this conversation I mentioned that I have been a long standing customer and that this was my third call for problems with my services within this month and that I felt I had a problem with the signal coming into my home. Once again we reset and unplugged everything. I had services for few days then my internet went out. You got it same drill. Then cable a couple of days later. Finally toward the end of the month my internet went out and I called late in the evening and after speaking to the CSR I requested a tech come to my home. The tech came he was on time and nice, however he tried to blame all of my problems on the cooper wire that sticks out of the cable wire. He said it was too long. I informed him that my cable has worked fine like that since it was installed over two years ago in this home. He then changed my modem and remote. He also stated to me that nothing is new at Comcast everything is old and just updated. (should you really say this to a customer?) He also claimed that my router was the problem. He even had problems getting my new modem to initialize. He left and my service worked for about three days. When I called CSR they said that they were going to escalate my issue to supervisor of the service tech and that I should be hearing from them the following morning. Needless to say, I did not. So I called that afternoon. While speaking with the CSR I requested that I get a supervisor to call me back. Guess what she told me there was not a supervisor that I could speak with. Well I lost it. I advised her that a company as large as Comcast had to have leads, supervisors, managers, coo, cfo, president, or someone who could help a customer with a complaint. Guess what, she then put her supervisor on the phone who advised me that Comcast could not help me with my issue and that my problem did not call for it to be escalated to a supervisor. (does that make any sense after a month of problems with my service and a tech coming to my home??) the next day another service tech and we went over everything. He said he had spoken with the tech that had come before and agreed that my router was causing the problem. He also stated that the csr's are reading scripts and do not know anything about the products. (should you say this to a disgruntled customer??) He changed out my cable box and said everything was fine. He told me I should call Comcast and have my bill adjusted. So within 30 minutes of him leaving I tried to call Comcast. Guess what, now my phone service was out. I called them from my cell phone and got a CSR that I had spoken to before who told me I was rude!! Now I was really angry!! My problem was forwarded to a lead tech who did come out later that day. This tech was really nice and could not believe what I had gone through for the past month. He started checking my services and lines and found that the cable coming into my home was bad. He changed that cable and now my services are working. So to make a long story short if Comcast had listened to the customer and sent someone to check the line coming into my home they would not have had this problem. Needless to say, I had request a district or regional manager call me and I never received that call. I have also tried to email the company. I will see if they contact me back. Even though my service is working now I am checking out services and considering switching to another company after all of these years.

It really does seem you've had a well documented problem during this last month. To me, the solution should be rather simple, credit you for all services for the month of July.

Comcast Promo Pricing
Posted by
BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA -- During these hard economic times shouldn't we be able to trust our service companies we have had for years? I have been a Comcast Cable customer for years. Comcast had this new deal called the Triple Play that was going to save me lots of money. I signed up for it and had explicitly asked for how much each service was going to charge. I wanted the cheapest charges for every service, cable, internet, and phone. I was given cable service at 49.99, phone service at 19.99 and internet service at 24.95. This is going to be my prices? Yes, I was told. My bill would be around $115 a month. Great sign me up. When the installer came out to hook up my phone and internet services I specifially asked him to go over my pricing again. He called his manager and we all went back and forth until I was promised the same prices as on the phone. OK install it then. My first bill I received was $240. This is for prorated month charges. Fine. I paid that bill. Two more bills came for the promised $115 a month. Everything was fine and I was now a happy customer. Bill number 4 was for $137. Why so much higher than my promised rates? I called and was explained that I had all promotional pricing. My phone service had just reset to 39.99 and my cable was going to be setting in two more months to 74.99. The customer service agent explained to me that I had a great deal because I have unlimited long distance calling. I do? I was never told of this and I had never used the unlimited long distance in the three months I had service. Now I am very upset because I no longer trust Comcast as a company. They can not tell you of their special "promo" pricing when you set up your plan and let you be surprised every time you get a bill. I email "Rick" the CEO or whatever of the company. I received a call today from Comcast telling me they will put me in a new promo pricing for 6 months. What happens when that pricing is up? Oh you just call and get new promo pricing. So every 3-6 months, depending on how long your pricing is good for, you get to call the customer service line and beg for new pricing. Why should we, as "valued" Comcast customers have to do this? Just give me one price. Just say this is what it is going to be. I don't hae time to call every few months and wait on hold forever to try to get new pricing. My timie is valuable. I'm calling Dish Network and AT&T back!

You might want to rethink AT&T. If you think Comcast is a pain in the butt, AT&T is a human hamburger maker. It's a rock and hard place right now with these behemoths. If I have to pick my poison I'll stay with Comcast. I tried switching to AT&T and the money thing is just about the same (outrageous!!!) but the internet service is no where comparable. AT&T sent me a big box of contraptions to be plugged in here and there and disks for programming my computers. No thanks. I just took a look at the 25 pages of instructions and warnings all in very small print and just sent it all back. They still charged me for phone service I never even turned on or used. And when I tried to dispute the charges it was like talking to the wall....
I had almost forgotten what it was like with AT&T and but I remembered real quick!!!!
So Comcast leaves a lot to be desired in their customer relations, but the end product is far superior to AT&T. the customrr service reps at Comcast seem a little better lately over the last few months. Maybe they are training them to be professionals now....
Our local electrical company is in the process of developing cable service. I wish they would hurry up. After all they are a local company and actually part of the cimmunity here. So I would think they would try a little harder to be user friendly.....
madconsumer on 05/29/2009:
promo pricing is just that, promotional. did you think they would give you special pricing for ever?
ok4now on 06/02/2009:
I am a Comcast Triple Play customer. Took the bait for a one year promotion. Digital HD T.V. Internet and Phone. The T.V. package included HBO, Showtime and Starz. I was quoted a price of $130.00. The first bill arrives in the amount of $167.00. Called them for an explanation. They were charging me an additional $25.00 for two High Def boxes plus taxes, fees, regulatory expenses, modem rental and 911 fees. They don't tell you about all of these additional charges when they give you a price quote. Deceptive advertising. They get away with this because they can. Like big government they use their muscle to get what they want and screw the little guy. Be very careful before you obligate yourself with these people.

Wanted To Get Rid Of My Premium Channels To Save $... Oh But This Will Cost More Money!!!
Posted by
NEW HAMPSHIRE -- Iâm trying to grasp how Comcast can deliberately deceive, trick, con, scam, and rip off customers the way they do and get away with it! We have had our cable and internet with Comcast back when they were road runner... Forever! This past summer I finally took the plunge and added our phone; this was a huge mistake!
Someone from Comcast called me with a deal that my bill would be $10.00 Less by 'bundling' my phone. Well, I thought iâd do it because I wanted to get the DVR box and that was $12.95 Per month for that box/service. Plus Iâd be saving the $48.00 From our monthly Verizon home phone bill! After it was all said and done, the guy mentioned that we would be receiving the stars channel, free for 2 months and I would need to call to cancel it. I marked this date on my calendar and later when I called I was told that if I take stars off, then I will lose HBO and a boat load of regular cable channels. I also found out that my hbo was now bundled up with the stars channel and instead of the $10.00 For my one hbo premium channel, it's now called preferred with HBO {or something like that} and it's $28.45!!! And there's more... If I take off my 'band new I never wanted preferred bundle premium package' I would be paying more money because they would need to charge me separately for all my bundled up services... This was never told to me and what does this have to do with the 3 services? Nothing what so ever... This is nothing but a scam!
Iâm paying about $170 per month! So without the premium channels which is $28.45, One would think it would drop down to $140.00... Not!!! Oh no I would be paying over $180.00!!! Regardless of what I tried to do or say, they would make it so you or I would be paying more than what you're current charges are even though you're 3 services are still bundled!
And then they have the audacity to tell me that Iâm saving money by keeping it the way it is!!! And not to change that promotion... What promotion? $170 Is not chunk change!!!
With the economy in a downward direction, prices going up all around and my husband's company having layoffs... I figured that Comcast must have changed things to accommodate for many people losing jobs and what not. So once again I called Comcast a few days ago to have hbo and stars {premium channels} removed. Even after I elevated this, they are all trained to screw, manipulate, defraud, rip off, cheat and monopolize hard working people... How could any company make it cost more for less service? This is out right slamming, trickery, and disgraceful!
Iâm looking for a new home phone company and a new internet provider. There is no other option for cable since its too windy for us to get the dish... But let me tell you that Iâm going to unbundle my 3 services and then Iâll have my basic cable with my stinking DVR box !!! And last but not least, Iâm telling the world how nasty and greedy Comcast is and bad news travels far faster than there internet anyway! Please tell anyone thinking about getting Comcast!

WASHINGTON -- Civil liberties groups are criticizing Virginia police for scanning thousands of license plates and holding on to the data even if the information does not lead to an arrest or conviction.
Former Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli issued an opinion last year against the practice, saying that if the information gathered isn't directly related to a criminal case, it "may not be lawfully collected," The Washington Post reports.
But some law enforcement officials say the opinion is non-binding, adding that they consult with city and legal officials before collecting the data, the Post reports. Alexandria police, for example, hold on to the data for up to two years, while Fairfax and Loudon counties keep it for one year. Arlington and Prince William counties retain it for six months.
Statewide, some jurisdictions remove it immediately, the Post reports.
"They can argue that going door-to-door searching houses without a warrant would help law enforcement solve crimes, as would listening in on all phone calls," Claire Gastañaga, executive director of the ACLU in Virginia, tells the Post.
"Bottom line: We believe the warrant requirement protects liberty while allowing appropriate law enforcement action."
Del. Richard L. Anderson, R-Prince William, submitted legislation Friday to the General Assembly to limit "the ability of law enforcement to use technology to collect and maintain personal information on individuals and organizations where a warrant has not been issued there is no reasonable suspicion of criminal activity by the individual or organization; codifies an opinion of the Attorney General regarding the Virginia Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act."
Anderson wants to turn Cuccinelli's opinion into law: "That police jurisdictions should not be retaining this data," he says.
He says it's something he hears about quite a bit from constituents, concerns over privacy, especially after the NSA's massive government collection of data.
Anderson says he agrees with the ACLU on this issue.
"Northern Virginia localities retain the data, some are for less than six months, some are for six months, it can go on, I'm fearful, for an indefinite time," he says.
Since Cuccinelli's opinion is not legally binding he says local agencies "can interpret how to implement it. And I think we owe it to localities to give them clear cut guidance."
"I'm all for empowering law enforcement to do their job, I highly respect them," he says. "I just think that there's considerable citizen concern, consternation over the collection and retention of private personal data."

tail with coloured output with the help of perl - need more colours? here is a colour table:
ok I'm sure it's not pretty
Tuned for short command line - you can set the path to sessionstore.js more reliable instead of use asterixes etc.
Usable when you are not at home and really need to get your actual opened tabs on your home computer (via SSH). I am using it from my work if I forgot to bookmark some new interesting webpage, which I have visited at home. Also other way to list tabs when your firefox has crashed (restoring of tabs doesn't work always).
This script includes also tabs which has been closed short time before.
It's like `prstat -t` under Solaris
Declare this function in your Shell, then use it like this:
> jumpTo foo
The script will search for the 'foo' pattern in your current xmms2 playlist (artist or songname), and play the first occurence of it !
This command will show the 20 processes using the most CPU time (hungriest at the bottom).
You can see the 20 most memory intensive processes (hungriest at the bottom) by running:
ps aux | sort +3n | tail -20
Or, run both:
echo "CPU:" && ps aux | sort +2n | tail -20 && echo "Memory:" && ps aux | sort +3n | tail -20
This command will tell you the 20 biggest directories starting from your working directory and skips directories on other filesystems. Useful for resolving disk space issues.
See man vmstat for information about the statistics.
This does the same thing without the timestamp:
vmstat 5
This truncates any lines longer than 80 characters. Also useful for looking at different parts of the line, e.g. cut -b 50-100 shows columns 50 through 100.
Suppose you made a backup of your hard disk with dd:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/disk/backup.img
This command enables you to mount a partition from inside this image, so you can access your files directly.
Substitute PARTITION=1 with the number of the partition you want to mount (returned from sfdisk -d yourfile.img).
This command is much quicker than the alternative of "sort | uniq -c | sort -n".
with discard wilcards in bash you can "tail" newer logs files to see what happen, any error, info, warn...
The pipe to head removes the listing of . as the largest directory.
In this case, I'm keeping an eye on /var/log/messages, but of course any file will do. When I'm following a file, I generally don't want to see anything other than what has been added due to the command or service I've executed. This keeps everything clean and tidy for troubleshooting.
Useful to e.g. keep an eye on several logfiles.
It displays, last 15 yum operations (in last operation as first row order) with its dates. Change 15 to any number of operations you need to display or remove "| tac" to see it in reverse order (last operation as last row)
The hyphen tells vim to open from STDOUT - saves having to create temporary files.
tail would be considered dull, but pair this with being able to push out unix commands over ARD, and life gets easier. (Same can be said for my TimeMachine scrape command, http://xrl.us/begrzb)
While they are few config options and even fewer useful details regarding what actually is being sent by the time machine 'backupd' process, this can at least tell you its doing something, how much it's doing, and exactly how often. Via macosxhints, http://xrl.us/begrwa, which in turn was via comments
zsh only
If you have this command in your history, you can always re-run it and have it reference the latest file.
The glob matches all timestamped files and then the resulting array is sorted by modification time (m) and then the first element in the sorted array is chosen (the latest)
List top 20 IP from which TCP connection is in SYN_RECV state.
Useful on web servers to detect a syn flood attack.
Replace SYN_ with ESTA to find established connections
tells you the number of lines in said file, and then tail the last 100 lines ( or how many are messed up) then u take the total amount of lines and then subract the 100 or so lines u DONT WANT, then do a head -n $new_number and then redirect it to new file.db
Use this command to see logs update in real time

Man dressed as Darth Vader runs a mile in Death Valleyon July 3, 2013 @ 11:07 am (Updated: 2:11 pm - 7/3/13 )
It's June in Death Valley. It's 129 degrees outside. What would you do for fun? For Jonathan Rice, it's time to run through the desert dressed as Darth Vader.
He calls it the Darth Valley Challenge.
Jonathan and his friends, complete with a support crew dressed as other Star Wars characters, run a mile every year from the Badwater Junction to Furnace Creek.
David Boze, filling in for Dori, asked Jon how he came up with the run.
"I'm 42, a little bit rounder in the belly than I used to be, I'm not a competitive athlete anymore so I had to come up with something that was a real challenge," said Jon. "And I decided that kind of heat, plus a black costume to absorb even more heat, plus a mask so that you couldn't breath - well, that would be difficult."
And Jon doesn't just jog the mile, he sprints it at pace of 6 minutes and 19 seconds.
Jon said he's actually been running in Death Valley for 17 years, and the Darth Valley Challenge is in its fourth year. And after this year's run in 130 degree weather on June 30, he's up for a Guinness World Record for hottest mile run.
He says it's not for the faint of heart - he works out in a sauna, trains in the heat, and drinks plenty of water.
"I take extreme precautions, I am very, very careful. And anybody who does this needs to be very, very careful; the heat will kill you," said Jon.

One of the most flexible sex toys, you can use your mini-vibrator with masturbators, dildos, penis rings and many other sex toys to add stimulation and breathe new life into sex toys that aren't as fun as they used to be.
The sex toy is fully waterproof so you can use it in the shower while getting ready for work in the morning or in the hot tub when you're relaxing after a long day. The water-tight seal also makes it easier than ever to clean the toy by keeping the battery compartment dry.
Made from impact-resistant package, the bullet vibrator is hard and firm to the touch – making it good for clitoral stimulation and massages.
The bullet vibrator measures 0.5 inch across and 3.5 inches long. The simple push button in the base turns the sex on and off and changes the vibration speeds. The bullet vibrator's base unscrews to hold 1 AAA battery, sold separately.

The bullet vibrator is compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based or silicone-based sex lubes. After using the mini vibrator, wash it carefully in warm, soapy water and rinse it clean. Then store the vibrator in a cool dark place with the rest of your sex toy collection.

Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) -- The detective leading the police investigation into Oscar Pistorius' fatal shooting of his girlfriend offered confusing testimony Wednesday, at one point agreeing with the athlete's defense that officers had no evidence challenging the runner's claim he accidentally killed her.
Testimony by Detective Warrant Officer Hilton Botha of the South African Police Service left prosecutors rubbing their temples, only able to look down at their notes as he misjudged distances and acknowledged a forensics team left in the toilet bowl one of the bullet slugs fired at Reeva Steenkamp. However, Botha still poked holes in Pistorius' own account that he feared for his life and opened fire on Valentine's Day after mistaking Steenkamp for an intruder.
The second day of the bail hearing in a case that has riveted South Africa and much of the world appeared at first to go against the double-amputee runner, with prosecutors saying a witness can testify to hearing "non-stop talking, like shouting" between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. before the predawn shooting on Feb. 14. However, Botha later said under cross examination that the person who overheard the argument was in a house 600 meters (yards) away in Pistorius' gated community in the suburbs of South Africa's capital, Pretoria.
Later, prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned Botha again and the detective acknowledged the distance was much closer. But confusion reigned for much of his testimony, when at one point Botha said officers found syringes and steroids in Pistorius' bedroom. Nel quickly cut the officer off and said the drugs were actually testosterone.
Pistorius' lead defense lawyer, Barry Roux, asserted when questioning the detective -- who has 16 years' experience as a detective and 24 years with the police -- that it was not a banned substance and that police were trying to give the discovery a "negative connotation."
"It is an herbal remedy," Roux said. "It is not a steroid and it is not a banned substance."
The name of the drug, offered later in court by Roux, could not be immediately found in reference materials by The Associated Press. A spokesman for prosecutors later said it's too early to know what the substance is, as they don't yet have results of forensic testing on the material.
Pistorius, 26, said in an affidavit read in court Tuesday that he and his 29-year-old girlfriend had gone to bed and that when he awoke during the night he detected what he thought was an intruder in the bathroom. He testified that he grabbed his 9 mm pistol and fired into the door of a toilet enclosed in the bathroom, only to discover later to his horror that Steenkamp was there, mortally wounded.
Pistorius, the first Paralympian runner to compete at the Olympics, is charged with premeditated murder in the case.
The prosecution attempted to cement its argument that the couple had a shouting match, that Steenkamp fled and locked herself into the toilet stall of the bathroom and that Pistorius fired four shots through the door, hitting her with three bullets.
Botha said: "I believe that he knew that Reeva was in the bathroom and he shot four shots through the door."
But asked if the police found anything inconsistent with the version of events presented by Pistorius, Botha responded that they had not. He later said nothing contradicted the police's version either.
Nel projected a plan of the bedroom and bathroom in the courtroom and argued that Pistorius had to walk past his bed to get to the bathroom and could not have done so without realizing that Steenkamp was not in the bed.
"There's no other way of getting there," Nel said.
Botha said the trajectory of the bullets showed the gun was fired pointed down and from a height. This seems to conflict with Pistorius' statement Tuesday, because the athlete said that he did not have on his prosthetics and on his stumps and feeling vulnerable because he was in a low position when he opened fired.
Officers also found .38-caliber pistol rounds in a safe, which Botha said Pistorius owned illegally and for which he said the athlete would be charged with a crime. However, Botha also acknowledged investigators didn't take photographs of the ammunition and let Pistorius' supporters at the crime scene take them away.
Botha said the holster for the 9 mm pistol was found under the left side of the bed, the side on which Steenkamp slept. He also implied it would have been impossible for Pistorius to get the gun without checking to see if Steenkamp was there. Roux later argued that Pistorius had suffered an injury to his right shoulder and wore a "medical patch" the night of the killing which forced him to sleep on the left side of the bed.

When I move up a tier, how long do I retain it? For how long will my card be valid?
When you move from Blue to Silver status, or from Silver to Gold, your status review date will be one year from the end of the month in which you achieved your new status.
In other words, you will have until the end of the same month the following year to earn the 25,000 tiers miles (Silver) or 50,000 tier miles (Gold) you require to retain your tier status.
Your membership card and status, and the benefits they afford you, extend two months beyond your review date. This gives you at least 14 months to enjoy your status, and ensures that we can deliver your new card to you before your old one expires.
For example, if you achieve Silver status on 17th March 2010, your Silver review date will be 31st March 2011. Your Silver status and membership card will therefore be valid until 31st May 2011. If you qualify and renew your Silver status on your review date, your next review date will be set for 31st March 2012, and your new Silver membership card will be valid until 31st May 2012.

Travel the south in search of the ultimate renditions of pulled pork, BBQ beef ribs and other tangy favorites.
- AMERICAN EATS goes from the farm to the kitchen and beyond.
- An irreverent, illuminating, gastronomic tour of the nation.
- Discover Henry Fords surprising contribution to American cuisine.
The old saying goes "you are what you eat." So what does that say about America? More than you might imagine, as AMERICAN EATS reveals. This irreverent, insightful and unique look at the nation reveals the secret tales behind our favorite indulgences, heads into the test kitchens where science combines with cooking, and visits temples of taste across the country.
The word probably derives from barbe a queue, French for "from snout to tail". The word first appeared in Virginia in the 1700s, and the practice became a tradition in the late 1800s during cattle drives. The next great leap came from an unlikely source--Henry Ford invented the charcoal briquette from leftover wood scraps and sawdust from his car factory. E.G. Kingsford bought the invention and put it into commercial production. Whether a fan of North Carolina pulled pork, spicy Texas barbequed beef, or Charlie Bryant's Kansas City ribs, there's no denying that barbeque is truly American cooking, and in this hour AMERICAN EATS tastes some of the very best.

- 2007 rolls royce phantom
Rolls-Royce honors the Spirit of Ecstasy with special run of Phantoms
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Jan 11th, 2011 at 4:01PM
It's lonely at the top. And by that we mean that, if you're shopping at the very pinnacle of the automotive market, you've really only got a few choices. Looking for a stately saloon? Then you're looking at a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley or maybe a Maybach, but that's about it. So you can be sure your friends, neighbors and fellow captains of industry will already have whatever you're looking at. What's an elitist to do? That could explain the seemingly endless array of special editions a company like Rolls-Royce announces out on an annual basis. But this year is a special year for the iconic... Read More
