Alternatives to Comcast

[Dan Miller]

So, I just got off the phone with Comcast. Even though a tech stated 
before that residential could not get the port unblocked, they lied. 
(surprise, surprise.)

I called asking for the evidence that they state that I have been 
sending out spam. The security guy I talked to stated that they do not 
have any, but it was blocked because of activity. After stating that I 
would like to see some dates and times on what was going on to flag the 
port blocking, he stated that he could reopen the port.

After a few minutes, he reopened the port, and a modem reset, and a few 
minutes later, I was able to confirm that the port is now open.

I guess the moral of the story. Ask for the evidence on why a port is 
blocked.

Still thinking about dropping them though.
