You could probably charge yourself to fix it too.

So getting a job in Comcast and fixing the cable is faster than customer service call
FredDibnahChimney
I’m thinking the same thing for a colonoscopy
Raigoth
And you get free cable! Win win.

That's lie

Would you mind fixing my cable bow?
MichiTheCat
Cable? What is this? 1999?
MarkPenrice
What is there even to learn? Turn it off, turn it back on, if problem persists either you hafta dig into the admin web interface or are SoL.

But that would still mean you cant fix your own cable since they dont teach shit

1:Exactly, visiting us. Order fiber, guy brings wrong router, didn't know until 30 minutes later, then whys for new one can't figure it out
Astraithious
2: so I pick it up and just use my phone to connect to the address on the sticker and finish it in a few minutes

You took a job just to unplug a modem for 30 seconds and plug it back in?

Flint still doesn't have clean water, and April the giraffe is still a thing... What YEAR is it????

I bet they have a policy forbidding Comcast employees to service their own devices - you have to call the service person anyway.
bunfukr
hella late, but nope: roommate worked for comcast, installed and serviced our internet/cable by himself.

Most calls could be prevented if customers only knew how to power cycle their cable boxes, Motorola DCT700's
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
If only a couple of channels are not working, try unscrewing the coax cable and back on again. F connectors are notoriously bad.

My DSL modem wouldn't properly reset unless I hit the reboot button in the GUI. Manual power cycling just came back up with the same issues.

Now if they only made them with freaking ON-OFF switches.
Brynlpz
What now?
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
Used to handle calls for Comcast cable, many customers wasted hours on the phone instead of just power cycling their frozen boxes.
Brynlpz
Oooh right
MichaelAndersen88
Power cycling means turning it off and then turning it back on.

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY THAT

I wasn't the one who used the term. Don't yell at me. But it's a pretty common phrase.

YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
Many times this happened because a tech disconnected the wrong house because the tags were missing or something like that.
