I called them and they said if you cant make it to a local Comcast store to drop off your equipment, you can take it to a UPS store and they will box and ship it for free if that is more convenient. That is probably what I will do. I am giving them until next Friday.

If you do NOT drop Comcast, you are only hurting Pitt, the ACC and the ACCN. Comcast will get it eventually and you can go back to it then with a sweet new customer discount.

I know there has been a lot posted on this topic but does Verizon Fios in the Pgh area carry ACCN?
 
I'm assuming that Comcast isn't convinced by the 500 ACC fans complaining to them like they were when the tens of thousands Big Ten fans complained. :cool:
 
Yea. I’ll go thru all that trouble so I don’t cause any harm to Pitt. Your posts get more bizarre and self indulgent by the day. May be time to try some meds.
 
I’ve been out of town since the network has launched. I know I’m supposed to have it on Direct TV 612, and I assume it’s good to go. Will be getting back home shortly before gametime, won’t be able to relax until I actually see it on my screen.

All that trouble? You bring your boxes to the UPS store, go to Best Buy and get a Roku, then call up YouTube TV and sign up. That will take you 2 hours at the absolute most.

And yea cause you know my or anyone else’s viewing habits and what’s best for others. I don’t care what you do or anyone else does. Do whatever works for you and spare the drama.

The king is loose. watch out.
 
Maybe it makes sense for you and him. Good for you.

If I ever want to change Pitt won’t be a factor. Ever.

Quite obvious his post makes sense sense as a Pitt fan.

It is a Pitt message board and with Comcast you will be unable to watch anything Pitt related if they are on the ACC channel. For some, that is enough to switch carriers.

I don’t disagree. At all.

I overreacted a bit so my apologies to SMF.

But some of that was a little over the top. But I could have stayed my position better without question.
 
So... this presumes you would sign up and get a new internet-only service in place to replace Comcast cable and internet. Where i live, that would be fios. Some might get it through satellite (?). I live in a valley where those around me do not do well with satellite so it would seem Fios is the only other option.

Where i live I also cannot use 4G to replace a phone landline (barely any decent coverage with any of the wireless phone services). So a triple bundle with Verizon fios appears it would be the best (only) option where I live. Because they always seem to make the triple bundle more economical to sign up for "for the first year" then just two of the services.

I'm tempted to be sure, not just for the ACC network (in fact that merely would be a small reason to endure the hassle).

But I've heard horror stories of canceling Comcast service. They supposedly bog you in phone chain transfer hell and outright threaten your family if you persist. I know they've been hellish to call and attempt to get better deals after a trial expires, and that's when they are KEEPING me as a customer. Anyone have this experience too?

This OP insinuates you just unplug your comcast gateway and cable boxes and drop them off at a comcast store, and you're free?

Somehow i can't imagine that they permit this loophole to make things that easy. I envision being escorted to "the little room" similar to a new car negotiation where i'd be browbeat for hours, only in person instead of on hold over the phone.

Sorry for the thinking aloud. And the pessimism. If these are urban legends I'd appreciate the enlightenment.
 
I have unplugged cable boxes and router on separate occasions and dropped them off to cancel service. YES....that simple and hassle free.

I have also dropped off equipment to the UPS store when it was more convenient to go there instead. Again, simple and hassle free.
 
I can't believe it.....my god, I called them today and before I can get finished, the Comcast employee said, "hey do you know a guy named Sean Miller Fan"? We tape all his phonecalls and play them back laughing our asses off. The guy is plum psycho.
 
Told Comcast on Monday they had 72 hours to get ACCN If not I was canceling. I canceled today and have Verizon FiOS. Cannot wait to watch the game tonight and DVR the game on Saturday.
