Proud to say as of the first of the year I'm no longer insured with these dirtbags.
I'm now insured with some other dirtbags.
Some dirt bags are slightly less bad than other dirtbags. That's why I have Comcast Internet.
Who could possibly be worse than comcast.
Small regional providers. Ever heard of Wow! Internet? I assure you they are terrible.
In my experience Wow! is less scummy that Comcast, but also less reliable. Overall it is probably a wash.
Wow was the answer I was expecting too lol
Or Frontier
Wow was cheap and fast for me... And would go down for 3 days at a time inexplicably. Oh, and they sent me a modem-router combo with cascade routers disabled and a firmware flash that prevented me from changing it, evnthough I specifically requested (and paid for) modem only.
Cincinnati Bell was actually half decent.
cox communications.
Their name is literally pronounced "cocks". It really says it all
I'm curious as well. I haven't met worse.
It’s the inverse of “the grass is always greener”. The internet service is always shittier.
A complete lack of internet would be worse than Comcast, but it’s honestly a pretty close thing.
Hughesnet.
Can't speak any the companies in the south or on the coasts but Comcast is easily one of the best residential Internet providers in the Midwest.
I'm not fan of Comcast but I dealt with pretty much every provider out there when I was an integrator (IT and AV for rich people) and it's not even close.
Let that sink in...that's how shitty the other ISPs are.
Sad to say, my company was bought by another, and i am forced to change to these dirt bags. I currently have a malady that will require surgery. Not that it matters, the old company declined my last surgery anyway and i paid out of pocket
Push back when it's auto-declined. You can often get them to pay up even if they decline at first. They're trying to make as much profit as possible, so they decline and hope you don't fight back.
I mean thats the thing right? Except it’s not that easy. The billing man at the practice has been trying, and when i call i get the, “your claim has been reviewed by a human and denied.” Canned response. And i have to go through the call carousel. And now my job changed providers, so now i am trying to get back pay from a healthcare company i don’t have an active account with. But i really don’t want to have half my jaw amputated.
Yep. They make it has hard as legally possible. It's bullshit. It's all very fucked up.
