Comcast Shoots For New Image, Rebranding As Xfinity

artemis writes "Comcast is making efforts to repair and restore its 'former glory' by the act of transformation, rebranding itself as Xfinity. Hopefully step 2 is an actual change in quality and customer service. 'Comcast will use the Xfinity rebranding to talk up its improved customer service as well as its technical upgrades. “There’s a lot to be proud of,’’ said Steve Hackley, Comcast’s senior vice president for the Greater Boston region. “We want to take credit for it.’’ W2 Group’s Weber said such a rebranding is “a bit old-fashioned’’ and a new name is unlikely to impress consumers. “I think the public is smarter than that now,’’ he said.'"

    Xfinity = the amount of time you'll be on hold if you call Customer Service.

    Still, it's nice of these broken companies to move themselves to the end of the phone book.

      Unfortunately, the 90's were using Comcast Voice and the call didn't go through.

    Well, I do use Comcast to access the majority of my adult films.

  5. Xfinity? Sign me up! by honestmonkey · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wow, Xfinity! That sounds great. Where do I sign up? I want better service, faster internet and cheaper prices, and Xfinity sounds like it fits the bill. It's got an "X" in it, so it must be ten times better than what I have now.

    Can't wait until it's available in my area.
