David: Fun With Cable, Round 3!!!
Remember when I first moved to my apartment, and I told the tale of setting up cable?

It's happening again.

Here's the chat transcript for attempt number 1:

Problem : Order Information
David > Order Information
Simranjit > Hello David_, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Simranjit. Please give me one moment to review your information.
Simranjit > How are you today?
Simranjit > David do you want to transfer your Comcast services from an old address to new or you are ordering new services for your new home?
David_ > I'd like to order new services for my new home.
Simranjit > Sure.
David_ > But I'd like to keep my old email address
Simranjit > Sure.
Simranjit > One moment please while I can transfer you to the sales department.
Simranjit > Please wait, while the problem is escalated to another analyst
KeErica > Hi, how are you today? It will take me a few moments to review your order so feel free to ask questions if you have any.
KeErica > It appears as though you have left the chat, can you please acknowledge that you are still at your computer? If I do not receive a response from you within two minutes I will be forced to close the chat to assist another customer.
David_ > I am here.

As much as I love the intertubes, I'd say call them if you want any results. Sure, you still might talk to Sanjay in Bangladesh, but there is a slight chance you might be able to do what you need to.

How is the new pad by the way?
David - ()
I made a call immediately after this and had everything going in a matter of minutes.

Is was just frustrating that I had made the entire order, and then all of a sudden got shuffled into a chat where they couldn't do anything.

The new pad is good. It smells of new paint, and we're gonna move the big stuff over tomorrow.

I am going to start saying this: "have a Comcastic evening! " all the time
