Last week, Comcast exceeded expectations; this week, not so much

By | July 6, 2009

I just sent this:

Mr. [name elided],

Thank you for your email and voicemail message.

I’m sorry to say that it appears the issue with my account is not yet resolved.

Early Saturday morning, Comcast sent out a service announcement with the subject “The new Comcast.net is now live”. Like all the previous service announcements, this one was sent to my wife’s email address and was not sent to mine.

It’s disappointing that not only was your customer service organization proven to be woefully inadequate, by virtue of the fact that it took me several attempts over six months, culminating with an email blast to all of your executives, to get your attention about this problem, but now your engineering organization has also proven to be inadequate, by virtue of the fact that when the issue was finally escalated to them, they were unable to successfully determine the root cause and fix it.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Kamens
