O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	Holy fucking shit, I can't deal with Comcast anymore. Here is the problem I've had, that has led me to the decision that my company is switching ISPs (it's all tech-head talk, so if you don't understand and you want to complain about it, fuck you too): Comcast does not give you access to your own router/DNS. Why? "Ease of management." They manage it "so you don't have to." But you will WISH YOU DID.... I asked them for a simple change. I asked them to change the Mail Exchanger (MX) record on our little router/DNS combo box. Instead of having it point to the Comcast-run email appliance (which they lock down so you can't do more than administer users - on an appliance that can do a TON more), I wanted it to point to my brand new server, running Microsoft Exchange 2000. Simple, 5-minute change, right? FUCKING WRONG. Instead of making this change on my internal DNS, the fucking boneheads decided to make the change to their external DNS servers. A few hours later, when this change propagates its way through the internet, we become completely unable to receive mail from outside. That was Wednesday. We hadn't figured out what they had done yet (I hadn't even thought they could make such a stupid fucking mistake), and I didn't get my cable modem delivered to my new place until Thursday night, so I couldn't really check on what was happening. I came in to work on Friday morning - it was still down, of course. I decide to use a laptop to dial out, I had a hunch. I pinged our mail server by name to see what the IP was. Sure enough, our EXTERNAL record was pointing at an INTERNAL address. Well, that does NOT FUCKING WORK. The external record needs to point at our router, and the router handles it from there. So, after spending much of the day on the phone with Comcast (most of that time on hold), I finally got it straightened out. They knew that they had to change my EXTERNAL record back to what it was, and change the INTERNAL record like I had fucking asked for in the first place. So, all was good, right? HAAAAAHAHAHAHA. Saturday morning, I wake up, and ping our server from home, expecting to see our correct address of 66.208.194.xx... and what do I see? 66.208.140.xx. THEY FUCKING GOT IT WRONG. So I called them again. This is on my own fucking time, on the weekend. The lady I got was obviously mentally retarded in some way - SOMEONE WHO CANNOT GET NUMBERS STRAIGHT SHOULD NOT BE WORKING WITH IP ADDRESSES. But I thought I finally got her straightened out, after hearing her make such mistakes as 66.208.104.194 (194 is not xx), and 66.208.109.xx.... yeah, I thought I finally had her right... and my cell phone cut off the call. But that's okay, I was confident that she finally had it. So later, after moving all of my furniture into my apartment, at about 4:00, I call back to make sure. She put in a request to the DNS engineers - to change our MX record to point to 66.208.104.194... THAT IS NOT OUR FUCKING IP, YOU MORON!!!!! I'll hand it to the guy I had on the phone, though. He was the only guy at Comcast who didn't have his head up his fucking ass. He was also the guy who had originally handled my request to change the external record BACK to what it was - turns out he put in the correct IP in the request, the fucking engineers got it wrong. So, he cancelled the IDIOT'S request and put in a new, correct one. Sunday morning, change isn't made. I call again. Yep, the change sure hasn't been made yet. But I am reassured that the engineers will get it and change it. Monday morning, change still HAS NOT BEEN MADE. Mind you, we have been COMPLETELY WITHOUT EMAIL since Wednesday night. President is fucking PISSED - but she understands that it's not my fault, so she's not pissed at me. Anyway, I call Comcast for a status at 10am. The ticket says nothing about the change being made. I ask for a supervisor. I get the customer Service supervisor. The technical supervisor is in a meeting, she'll call me back when she gets out. 12pm.... no call. Go fucking figure. I call them again. She's still in the meeting - long fucking meeting, huh? Yet another person will notify her to call me. 1:30pm - still no call. I have to call them AGAIN. Before getting extra-huffy, though, I ask them if there has been any change in the status of my ticket. Apparently the change was made at 11:40am (why wasn't I told this at 12?) and I just have to give it time to propagate. All I can say is.... I sure fucking hope they got it right this time, or someone dies. I have a meeting in one week with a salesman from a REAL fucking ISP. So Comcast Business, you're losing MY business (I would have never chosen you in the first place), so just FUCK YOU. This is my first FU, isn't it? Weird. Oh yeah, FU Buttmunch. No FU is complete without it. remember i was always true remember that i always tried remember i loved only you remember me and smile for it's better to forget than to remember me and cry This message was edited by FollowThisLogic on 6-10-02 @ 4:44 PM

Donâ€™t get me wrong, I am not fighting to uphold the restraints that give protection to rights fully accrued upon facts so nearly permanent as to be substantially impervious to change, rather I am for the supervision of changing conduct or conditions and are thus provisional or tentative.

But for your business - they're only okay if you don't plan to EVER MAKE ANY CHANGES.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00	I can't believe that they would make a "mastake" like that. What is this REAL ISP you speak of? Something in the way of Dial-Up perhaps? AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Hey, sugarnuts, it was just my way of saying that I read every word of your post, and that your first FU didn't totally go to waste.
