Just wondering if Comcast and AT&T are the only internet providers in Folsom.
I discovered today that Comcast has been completely defrauding us for at least 8 months, and I don't trust AT&T to be any better. I'll try to make a long story short, but several different Comcast reps have told us we were under contract until September 2014 because we added NFL Network during our original 24 month term that was set to end in September 2012 (even though I had been assured by the rep who added NFL Network for me that it would not extend my contract).
I called today to get the exact end date, because our bill is ridiculously expensive. The first rep told me we weren't under contract, which was obviously contrary to what the last two reps had told us over the past several months, so she transferred me to billing to get more information. The billing rep first said that we actually had a 36 month contract ending in September 2015. I was furious now and asked for the call to be escalated to a supervisor and said that I would need documentation that we'd ever agreed to 36 months. While I was on hold the rep magically "refreshed my account" and discovered that we hadn't in fact been under contract since September 2012. Oh, and conveniently for Comcast, there are supposedly no records of calls from us since 2011. I had no reason to believe that they would be so deceitful as to not document customer contact, so I've never kept records of calls (lesson learned).
I've filed a complaint with the FCC and plan to send a certified letter or something to formally complain to Comcast, but in the meantime we need to get out of their service. I guess I'll do AT&T if that's the only option (no contract for sure), but I'm hoping there's a local provider. Anyone know?
