  2. You cant. on Comcast Typo Penalizes Wrong Customer For Data Usage (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    When I called in for a service problem with my cable modem being slow I had to be transferred to 4 people 4 times because my mac address was all zeros. Yes it was working just fine but it kept dropping because of comcast's craptastic wires they refuse to replace.

    The phone support people were unable to figure out to simply ASK me what the mac address was printed on the bottom of the modem. Comcast is not known for hiring the best or brightest.

    And yes I used to work for them as a DBA.

  15. She sucked at her last 2 CEO jobs as well. Why did anyone expect anything different?

  16. You already should have avoided them. The HUE is so poorly designed that if you try and connect the Zigbee ZLL bulb to a different controller they essentially brick as they go to a channel they cant use.

    HUE bulbs are complete crap with a very bad design.
