Dear Communicom,

Comments


You suck.

When I pay for cable internet service, I expect two things: speed and reliability. It’s bad enough that I could get faster downloads from DSL, but the fact that your obsolescent southwest Louisiana equipment craps out on a nightly basis, sometimes for an hour at a time, but it chaps my ass like cheese-grater toilet paper when every frickin’ little rainstorm totally knocks out all internet access for 48 hours.

And no, I don’t want to hear your drones assure me that you’re working on the problem. I want you to fix the problem. Permanently.

Until then, Communicom sucks, and it is my fervent hope that this entry will appear in the top results of search engines nationwide, so that every poor sap who Googles your company name will be able to read how much your service sucks big, greasy, sweaty donkey balls.

PS: FTD, you suck too. It’s bad enough that the big name in flowers will not deliver to just about anywhere in rural Georgia, but when you say you can deliver said flowers to my sweetie’s place of employment, and on a certain date, I expect the flowers to be delivered on that date.

Assholes.

Flowers.com just got my business from now on, and I hope some disgruntled suitor plants one of Mercury’s winged feet right up your corporate ass.

That is all.

    Cable sucks period. We've gone with Directv and DSL....not a problem one, the only time we had a sat issue it was practically a hurricane out and that was just for about 2 minutes. I snarled my last at Time Warner Cable (YOU SUCK TWC!!) a few years ago and haven't looked back since.

    FTD is HORRIBLE - last year for Mother's Day I ordered a bouquet for her through FTD. They delivered DEAD flowers. It wasn't until filing a complaint with BB that I got my refund.

    Add in another happy Proflowers.com customer - just tried them this V day, and not only did they get there when they promised, I got an EMAIL letting me know that they were delivered! And the Mrs loved them.< />< />800Flowers sucks, however.

    I swear by Proflowers, too. I've used all of them, and they are the only ones whose flowers last more than two days.

    Pretty much all the big "deliver flowers" companies just use local florists anyway, and that's where most of the screw-ups occur.< />< />You're probably better off just calling a local florist in her county, direct.

    On the comm notes...all I can say is that I feel ya (http://clarinazi.blogspot.com/2007/< />10/cox-can-nibble-my-taint.html)< />< />...and on the flowers-it's the thought that counts. The flowers don't hurt either, but flowers on a not-so-obviously romantic day count even more. Send them to her on June 3 or March 20 or some random date conceived by your computer just to let her know that you're still the romantic guy she loves on V-day...< />< />Just my $0.02 worth

    Screw proflowers, ftd, flowers.com; I've tried them all and had problems. I screw up a lot and flowers have this amazing effect on the distaff side. :)< />< />The best service and delivery I've ever gotten is from Calyx Flowers (formerly Calyx and Corolla) http://www.calyxflowers.com/Default.aspx The one time that the delivery company left a dozen roses sitting in a hot truck on a July day in Phoenix, I called them and they replaced the flowers next day with two dozen.< />< />They aren't inexpensive, but the flowers last seemingly forever; definitely longer than what I get at the local florists.

    It's like that in major cities too. Back home in Dallas, there could be gale-force winds and thunder, but if there's just a drop of rain, the power and cable go out. You'd think they'd be more keen on that stuff in locations with severe weather.

    Another poke for proflowers.com< />< />Good service, reasonable prices, great quality.< />< />(no, I'm just a customer)< />< />I'd like to add TimeWarner, Dish Networks, and SWBell to your sux list. Why do cable, satellite, and broadband companies have so many quality of service issues? For the money they charge, the service is just plain bad.

    Our cable internet in north Louisiana is gawdawful as well; it went out if it even looked like it was going to rain. I went with BellSouth DSL about 2 years ago and I don't think that it has ever gone down.

    Is it just me or is "Communicom" eerily similar to "Communism"...

    AD, two words to remember for next year...Harry&David.; 'nuff said. Flowers, candy, gifts and more in one catalog. Very reliable delivery, too. There's something for everyone, including your ladyfriend (Hi Babs, Happy Valentine's Day).

    Well, I got a call from said place of employment not long after I talked to you. They're there and I get to enjoy them tomorrow night on my otherwise LONG shift. All's well that ends well.
