Straight up. No hyperbole. No pulling back. Fuck them. Fuck their CEO. I hope Brian Roberts wakes up with a razer blade encrusted dildo jammed in his ass. I can't even begin to stress how pissed off I am at them. Its not even that my service has regularly been disconnected, it hasn't.
Mainly what it is is that I pay for high speed internet and I can't get it. Currently I am on the 10 mbps package, which costs 65$ a month (which, on its own, is a massive fucking ripoff). Of course, I'm relatively happy to pay that, assuming I get what I pay for. What I am not happy about is that my youtube videos have to reload every 3 seconds, my download speeds are often laughable, and certain websites are throttled so heavily that I can't even use them.
And that's what pisses me off so much. What these pieces of shit are doing is the one thing that everyone has been worried about due to the whole net neutrality thing. They throttle specific websites (not to mention what they do to bitorrent, which I don't use, but still). In a free market it wouldn't bother me, as I would go with the next provider that didn't do that. Of course, this being fucking Houston we are clearly too small of a market for competition in cable companies. Therefore, I don't really even have a choice other than to be fucked by them.
It just pisses me off so god damned much to get screwed like this and no recourse other than simply not having internet. Possibly I could switch to AT&T Uverse, but I don't know how much the installation cost will be, and I don't know if my landlord will allow me to install it. They can basically charge me whatever they feel like, and there is nothing I can possibly do. I am a big free market supporter, and the fact that this massive company is able to survive not through its own merits but because there is no true competition makes me physically fucking ill.
Fuck the fucking motherfuckers.
Fuck you comcast. I hope this is going through one of your filters right now so you can kill my bandwidth even more.
You pieces of shit.
(On that note has anyone here tried Uverse? What do you think of it?)
