I'm going to begin this review by simply reviewing some basic history with this ISP provider. When I purchase my home, 12 years ago, I hired Comcast to install internet into my home. However, prior to my internet being installed I came home to a crew destroying my entire yard with a Ditch Witch. When I said guys, what the hell are you doing, I have a wedding reception here this weekend, the supervisor looked at his paperwork and said oh we have the wrong address and acted as if they were liable for nothing. Obviously they were wrong, and I dealt with that and that situation was resolved.
About a week ago, a representative from a local slumlord operation came down my neighbor's driveway and performed a hit and run when he drove over my retaining wall crushing it and utility box as well. This is what started this chain of events and motion. I should also mention that I'm preparing to sell my home in a recently completely refurbish the home putting well over $100,000 into it to prepare to put it on the market that's not great for any buyer or seller.
Several days after the hit and run on my property which left live electrical wires hanging out for the neighborhood kids I went down and began chipping off and repairing or beginning to repair my stucco wall. I put a rough patch on it to keep moisture out and moved on. The next day I came home was spray paint all over my retaining wall that was just patched and worse than that my entire Bush Garden which ranged about 8 ft wide and 25 30 ft long was completely trampled and spray painted with orange paint. Did I mention I'm getting ready to sell my house and will be taking Ariel shots as it's an expensive property?
I would like to add that I was raised in a family background in road construction and framing and residential construction. So it's safe to say I've been around for a while. I'm not sure what kind of company comes out walks all over a homeowners bushes destroying them and in the process spray paints them then walks over what he just spray painted leaving the bushes sideways and the markings completely inaccurate? Never ever seen that. Either way these are the people we're dealing with.
So after attempting to deal with that situation and removing all the debris they left me by destroying my shrubbery the next crew came out and what do you know while they were trying to get my neighbors Broadband or whatever running the same people who just destroyed my property cut my line. Who would have guessed that marking over bushes that you trample wouldn't correctly indicate where wiring is?
Now comes Comcast directly, I have two Representatives come out to my home after I inform them that my wiring was most likely cut after this crew was out there digging and we walked through the property and devised a game plan the gentleman seem very nice we agreed on a game plan which was going to be just too leave what had been done, dig up the dirt which they had already done to put in a new conduit and line there to complete the job. So obviously, at this point, this is become a real aggravation as this all started with a hit and run on my property and we have a history so to speak, Comcast and myself regarding property damage.
Anyway, the guys agreed that we're going to go down and dig up the trench and bury the wire and they seemed cool and I saw no reason to have them do it so being very polite I said just go ahead and leave it guys, no reason for you to dig it up twice and we parted ways. Keep in mind my retaining wall is still all smashed up and one of the patch areas someone stood on it, which collapsed it. Obviously I'm not going to fix it over and over and over so I'm trying to figure out what's Happening Here.
So, earlier this week I come home and not only is there more paint everywhere but my Hillside has been trampled up and down while Comcast employees or affiliates had been again spray painting through another set of bushes, about the only set I have left alive on that side of the house, right through a massive tree root that I have I don't have no idea what they thought they were going to do there, and my entire yard. Kind of doesn't sound like what we agreed to does it.
This is already been verbose enough so I'm not going to continue on and on with the blow by blow but let's just say yesterday I contacted Comcast on three separate occasions beginning at like 6:00 in the morning and said before anybody else came out of my property a supervisor needed to call me as I can't have this damage going and if they think they need to do this on my property I was simply find a new ISP. I can't put thousands more into the home to repair damage for a damn cable line. 24 hours went by, actually I still haven't heard anything. Today, while I was at a neighbor's home, I was alerted by my security system to see two gentlemen moving on to my property one of them was literally hacking around and directly on top of the main root system for a spruce I have in my yard... read more
