fuck you, comcast
So, there are some problems.
Comcast is fucking shitty. Here is what’s up:
1) The internet is being slow as shit.
2) I can’t upload ANYTHING on any server via FTP. NOTHING! Not on this host, not on my SCAD student webspace. At first I thought it might be my computer or my web host, but we tried uploading something via FTP on Amy’s computer and on her site’s host and the same thing happened. So by process of elimination, it has to be our internet provider, Comcast. They are somehow blocking us from uploading things via FTP. I don’t know how or why.
I have tried calling them tonight multiple times, and each time I talk to their phone-robot, press the numbers, go through a maze until I get to an option to actually talk to a LIVE HUMAN BEING. Then the phone rings and ‘click’ hangs up on me. This happened three to four times.
So what this means for inkdick…
Irregular updates until this shit gets fixed (and I now plan on being a zit of Comcast’s ass until they fix this). Irregular updates because now I’ll have to go trek over to a SCAD building just to upload things onto my site, but I can’t do that every single day or every single time I need to update. So until this clusterfuck of a situation gets fixed, that’s the way it has to be.
Please don’t stop reading because of this. It’s not my fault. Really. And I’m really sorry about all this.
I’ll try to get some comics up later today or Saturday. I don’t know for sure when since I’ll be busy with Comix Art Forum all this weekend. But I’ll try.
I’m really sorry about all this. And again, fuck Comcast.

Yeah, Comcast is kind of shitty. Worst customer service rating of any company ever (seriously) and all that jazz.

COmcast is a good example of an old fashion monopoly-type business; but, I thought they were outlawed?! It is like the spider and the fly; the company traps you into their service and there is no way out BECAUSE you do not have another real choice.

i had some problems with comcast, but charter was even worse, so be glad it’s not them. i’ve found that if you do the online chat tech help, it’s often a lot easier. you can talk to someone right away, and they tend to know what they’re doing a lot more often than the phone people.
