7.21.07 2:12 PM EST By consumeristcarey Why wait for Comcast to set up your internet service when you can activate it yourself? When they activated their service in June, unaided by a tech. Comcast had scheduled a tech to install Alex’s service, but the tech didn’t show until several days after his appointment, when he was told his services were not needed.

This greatly angered Comcast: “because Alex’s roommate called Comcast himself to set it up (in effect doing exactly what the tech would have done, had he bothered to show up), no one was being billed for our internet! So, instead of notifying anyone, they flipped the switch and turned it off.” Comcast explained to Alex that his modem’s MAC address was blocked, and would remain blocked until they spoke to the data warehouse, which was closed. When Alex finally got through to the warehouse, he was told that his MAC address could not be unblocked, and that he would need a new modem; but even with a new modem, Alex still could not get on the internet. He could, however, have another maddening conversation with Comcast.

I told them that because they apparently blocked the old MAC address, we are now using this modem. He says that they need to send us a new modem; I said no, you said yesterday we can use a different one, and this is a Motorola Surfboard (gnarly!) just like the old one. He says hold on, then came back and took the MAC address. Hold more, then takes the customer serial number from the modem. This time he forgets to put me on hold, and I can hear him talking with someone and laughing. I’m really hoping he calls me a name or something, but other than whatever lolocaust he’s having, it seems ok. Photostudio 2000.

Finally, he comes back and says the exact same thing they said two days ago: they need to add our MAC address to their database, which the guy can’t do from where he is. Alex is still without internet service. It may be time to summon the indefatigable solution mavens of to speed the internet’s safe return. WTF, Comcast (Photo: ).

Just out of curiosity, what happens when you call them and they activate it? That is, what do they do exactly? Each box has an identification number that it can send to the cable company. When you call them they match the ID number of the box with the phone number you're calling from.

Then they turn on the box. I thought that would be true of a set top box, but not a DTA box which is simpler.

No two way with these boxes. They are the analog channels you used to get, 2-99 or so, but now in digital. The channels will jump around, based on what virtual channel the digital service was on the Virtual Channel Map in your Downstream Plant, that's cable talk.It will pick up channels in the hundreds, and if they give you Music Channels, they are in the 400's. It depends what channels were unencrypted already, cause that's all your going to get here! MikeGibson 26.03.09 20:00.

(This box is to be used when they convert higher channels from analog to digital - this is not about the nationwide digital switch.) Thx Mine worked before I even called. When I did call - they said all was ok and I did not really have to call.

Go figure. Usually, with these DTA boxes, you connect the RF cable and call the cable company. They will find your account, initialize the box, send a hit and video will come on. No two way with these boxes. WRONG! They are two way, & allow for reception of the free portions of on demand and the guide.

WRONG! They are two way, & allow for reception of the free portions of on demand and the guide. I don't know what you have in your area, but in the Bay Area, the DTAs we're getting are very simple devices and do NOT include onscreen guides or access to OnDemand videos. However, Comcast is offering analog extended basic customers one free DCT box; those are much more sophisticated, and can be used for interactive features such as OnDemand.
