Oh boy am I glad to not be a comcast customer anymore. If you call in and say “cancel services” you’ll be put on with someone immediately. Just say “I want to cancel because of connectivity issues” or whatever you actually want help with, and that person’s job is to resolve your issue and retain you as a customer. They’ll schedule a technician, give you the current promo price, whatever. I used to do this and play “cancel chicken” every year to keep my rate from doubling.

For what it’s worth we switched to tmobile home internet in 2021 and haven’t looked back. No more cancel chicken. No more connectivity issues. No more rate hikes. We can stream in peace. Godspeed.

It's just annoying that you pretend that I'm making some outrageous claim when it's SUPER well documented. I'm not Russian, I'm an American citizen who OPPOSES WAR. I want our country to focus on our people and not creating and exacerbating conflict all over the planet like it's been doing my entire lifetime. https://imgur.com/a/meAl7rX

>The war has clearly proven that the Russian military capabilities it claimed only existed on paper and that Russia has no ability to fight a war against someone not literally next door to them

Yeah man. Clearly this is all bringing us closer to war with Russia. They're obviously just biding their time and withholding soldiers and equipment just in case they decide to go full send and try to take on all of NATO directly. It couldn't possibly be true that the war is crippling Russia more and more by the day, draining the male population that hasn't already fled, and it obviously hasn't depleted what few stockpiles of military equipment they had.

If Russia decided to directly attack the US or another NATO country, Article 5 would be invoked and then the Russian military would be functionally nonexistent in a couple of weeks.

It sounds stupid but last year when Comcast cut off my roommates and I’s internet three days before they were supposed to at the end of the lease because the new renters had somehow activated their account already, I had the same situation you did: suffering through 30-45 minutes of absolutely useless AI chat and robo-voice menus, losing my temper and repeating to the robot “I want to speak with a fucking human being” a couple of times, and suddenly boom 30 seconds later there’s a person on the other end.

Absolutely mental that this is an acceptable model of customer service honestly

Im not talking about “environments”. Im talking about the sizes of homes/style. No shit the environments are different that’s by design. Those are early 1900s streetcar cul de sacs for wealthy WASPs, the latter are are also streetcar suburbs, but they were blocked busted, but the opposite side is only objectively shitty till Loch Raven blvd in most cases.
