Loosely related, or refile under "a good laugh after it was over" I had an interesting go-round with comcast a few months ago. I have a magic jack line into my house, and someone dug through my comcast internet line while repairing septic lines. I opened the repair call the next day but it was 3 weeks before they fixed it. Seems they have to call to make sure you're home before they can come out, and the magic jack number was the one on my account. So even though I gave them my cell number and told them the other line was down, they would call the magic jack line, get no answer, and cancel the call. This went on for weeks, 5 scheduled visits, 29 (long!) phone calls, numerous discussions with supervisors, and still they could not figure this out. I finally pulled to a screeching halt when I saw a local cable truck in a parking lot. I explained the situation and begged the guy for help. He laughed and dispatched a guy right then, and it was fixed when I got home from work.
