Did anyone actually read the little black booklet that came with the
recent Comcast installation CD? (I did.)
The CD that came broken in several pieces?
The CD that would have installed software to monitor your computer,
which they claim they will only do during tech support sessions?
The software that Comcast had to put out press releases not to install,
because it crashed many computers, and instead you were supposed to
download a new version (over your cable) before installation?
The installation that had to be done sometime during 3 days at the end
of December, despite the broken CD, and bad unneccessary software?
And then, the SMTP servers were down, so you couldn't access/send
email anyway (they blocked port 25 to keep us from sending directly).
Besides, reports are that Apple Airports won't work with Comcast
anymore.... So, I wouldn't be able to use my laptop.
Anyway, I'm back to dialup. So much more reliable....
