We had our service turned on, after 3 phone calls to schedule it. They came out, turned on the cable, installed the 3 boxes & modem for the internet. He then told me that the modem could only be used by the jack in the kitchen...Yes, the god damn kitchen. After he left, I took the modem down stairs and coupled it with my router, as we have a service rack in the basement that supplies internet to the entire house. Went to turn on the tv and he didnt configure any of the tv's to the cable setting so I fixed that problem. Then, when everything was set up and configured, we had just the guide telling us what was on each channel, but the rest of the screen was black. After 2 calls, they said he forgot to scan the boxes. I gave the serial numbers as per their request and was told they would be working in 20 minutes. Two hours later and another call to them, they told me they had to send a flash or something. That fixed the boxes and we had cable. The power went out for about 3 minutes later that night and we had to start all over as something with the boxes was lost and had to be re flashed. The bill is not what we were told it would be, the discount is to "new construction homes only"... The best news...like you guys, I CANT go elsewhere! Yeah…Fuck this company!

It's true though, this company takes the cake when it comes to worst company ever. And because our government stupidly supports cable company monopolies I have no choice but to put up with the bullshit. UGH!! LOL!
