The problem with comcast is they seem to run everything on the cheap and
none of their support people are empowered to do anything and just run
you through their little canned sequence. And it seems like they must
have one person working in their operations center over in West Chester
because of how long it takes them to do anything.. I just switched to
motzarella.org and it seems to be working fine so far.
