Chris: "Oh, the boot is attached to a third-party wheel? We don't support that configuration, sir."
Paul: "Did you try restarting it?"
Don: "Ok, sir, we can remove the boot between the hours of 8AM and 8PM. Will you be at the vehicle?"
Darren: "Fired."
Nilay: "CableCARD installations have become increasingly hostile."
Joe: "I bet the DirecTV guys never have this problem."
Richard: "You have exceeded your monthly mileage quota. Additional travel can be purchased for $20/mile."
Josh: "Let's see you dream your way out of this one."
Ryan: "Oh, so you can't take off the boot until we pay the fines. But can I interest you in our all-in-one triple-play package?"
Thomas: "So this is what throttling feels like."

Guess who has to pay more now? Try and talk yourself out of this one!!!! Comcast
Good thing that customer is expecting me between 8am and his death!
You can get the boot off now for a great introductory rate of 128.95 or pick it up at the impound lot tomorrow at a rate of 235.95. The catch the price is going to keep going up the longer we keep it!
LOL, we took a cutting torch one time down in Fort Lauderdale and removed one of those "boots" in about 20 seconds. Left it laying there in two pieces.

And the ticket reads....
Dear Valued Customer,
We regret to inform you that you have reached your monthly driving limit. Your vehicle has been capped due to your excessive usage. Feel free to continue using the road with the cap at a blazing 1mph - 5mph. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. This policy is simply in place so that all of our users can have the best experience possible. Thank you for your continued service despite having no other choices in the area.
FLOP! FLOP! FLOP! Went the American cable companies.
never say never.... i guess sometimes they do stop making fast faster.
"Drive Less."
Um, this is technician #50, I'm gonna be a little late to my next appointment... and the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that one too....
It appears you have $700 overdue on your account
Sorry, that service is not available at this time. Please try again later.
Walk more.
Talk less.
don't worry we will pass that charge along to you our valued customer.
-Im sorry sir, but according to our records you have exceeded your monthly vanwidth.
-If you need further assistance i can put you on hold till my manager returns.
If anyone ever put a boot on my car, I would honestly kill them. Give me a ticket, don't prevent me from leaving.
Officer Speedster offers Comcast a new slogan: Talk less Pay Up !
"Advice to Comcast: Advertise less, stop providing the worst customer service in the history of humanity... more"
Comcast Van Driver: " Yes I have rebooted my van, and the shimmy is gone"
Comcast Support Tech: "Glad to be of service"
Comcast Van Driver: "The van won't move now!"
Comcast Support Tech: "You rebooted. Right"
Comcast Van Driver: "No, you just said reboot. I rebooted left!"
Comcast Support Tech: " Sir, I am going to have to schedule a Technician to trouble shoot this further. there will a $79 charge. Is next Monday between 8:00 am and 10:pm good for you?
Comcast Van Driver: "Absolutely not!"
Comcast Support Tech: " Sir then I have no choice but to disconnect you"
Comcast Van Driver: "Excellent, that is what I think I need."
Comcast Support Tech: "Glad to be of service" (click)
Don't worry.. we're not going anywhere anytime soon..
Due to a recent trend we've seen with your activities, we've noticed you've began driving too much and therefore we have no choice but to put a cap on your driving. When your activities return to normal we will remove the boot.
Sir, please unplug your device wait 5 minutes and boot up again. That should fix it!
No sir, the problem isn't our boot, it's your hardware err van.. I realize you checked your van and it runs fine, but never-the-less, we recommend trying a different van and then calling us back.
DAMN YOU TIMEWARNER!!!!♠first you take my tivo away...now this?!?!
talk now pay less. but we are clamping down on roaming.
Just ignore it and it will go away...
Verizon Guy (from commercials) "I bet you didn't think the parking police were part of americas largest wireless network now did ya!"
"You drove over 250 miles in a month, so we put a cap on it."
Put your best boot forward.
"Uh yeah okay this is theft of the airspace around my tire. It's affecting cd sales."
Police to Comcast: "We're Better!"
Sorry, but since the vehicle is not in your name, we need to talk to the owner about this manner
Its Bootastic!
Bill and Karolyn approved!
City of Chicago: Now with slower speeds. It's BOOTASTIC!
The obvious: Park More, Drive Less.
This is what happens when tiered billing and bandwidth restrictions migrate into the transportation industry.
That's Comcastic!!
"Can you unplug it and wait 30 seconds them plug it back in?
Okay is the boot still there? Let's try again, pull the plug in the ...."
This is what happens when you overbill the wrong officer.
I hate Comcast.
wow talk about speed capping!
"Ok, so I've rebooted. Now what?"
The driver got the boot too.
funny
