Comcast Is On A Roll With This Customer Service Thing

  • Earlier this year, Comcast took control of FEARnet, a popular channel and website among horror enthusiasts, and this week, shut both down, and let go of the people that operated them. Even the farewell note they posted on the site is gone, because, well, the site is gone. I mean, really? They couldn’t have even kept a landing page up explaining the situation?

    In other Comcast news, a 48-year-old New Mexico woman has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after she pulled a handgun on a Comcast employee.
