Broadband ISP Betrayal Forces Homeowner To Sell New House
New submitter knightsirius writes: A Washington homeowner is having to sell his new house after being refused internet service from Comcast and CenturyLink despite receiving confirmation from both that the location was able to receive broadband service. The whole process took months and involved false assurances and bureaucratic convolutions. The national broadband map database frequently cited by Comcast as proof of sufficient competition lists 10 options at his location, including a gigabit municipal fiber network, but he cannot subscribe to it due to Washington state direct sale restrictions.
That should have been the headline.
Maybe the homeowner had to sell his house twice.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.

Comcast: Look into my eyes; you don't work for yourself, you work for Comcast!!! *evil laughter*.
Home Owner: What's your name!?
Comcast: Skeletor!
Life is not for the lazy.
It's not just you. It does not read like an Onion article to me, either.
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
only if you polish the ends too much. Then you cut off the connectors and reterminate, and hopefully polish it right this time.
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
