So I went to check in online, and it asked me to check some boxes for what luggage I wanted to bring on board. I did, and it told me that to carry on both a backpack and a roller bag it’ll be $45, or $65 if I try to play games and they have to check stuff at the gate.
I said fuck that, and unchecked some boxes. It said I couldn’t check in without putting a credit card on file, that they would charge if there were any issues and they wound up needing to charge me for my luggage. It wouldn’t let me continue without putting a credit card on file and checking a box that said they could charge me for my luggage, if they felt it was excessive.
I said fuck that and decided to check in at the airport. I threw all my stuff in a backpack to remove any wiggle room, and the kiosk said the same thing. I talked to one of the people, and she said it’s a new policy. I pointed out that I paid for my ticket, she could see I had only a backpack, and I wanted to get in the airplane. She told me to go talk to the guy at the end.
I talked to the guy at the end, politely, and eventually he printed a boarding pass for me. But you should know they’re up to some bullshit.
I used to fly united quite a bit and it used to be pretty good. But these days my options for flying for work are united, delta, and southwest and I usually choose delta because they don’t charge you for shit and you can have both an overhead carry on and a small bag plus free internet on the plane. In the end they’re all shit, but I’m going to pick the lesser of the shits each time. Same reason I have Comcast internet.
I use Comcast because I have one choice and it’s Comcast
That’s why almost everyone who uses Comcast uses Comcast.
You use Comcast because you have 0 other choices
I use Comcast because I have 1 choice
We are
notthe sameWISP does not count as an ISP. Fucking T-Mobile is not a replacement for Internet.
Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.
Gaming on 5G is pain
The rest can opt between Comcast and AT&T. FML.
Same for me, and as shitty as Comcast has been in other places, I’ve had only two non-power related outages with them in almost 7 years here. I think their service quality varies not only state by state, but even county to county in some places.
You lost me. I was with you right up until that point, but then you went off the deep end.
As a begrudging Comcast customer myself, allow me to explain. They are the least shitty option because the only alternatives in my area are 5G and Verizon DSL. Verizon DSL has a max download speed less than 1mbps.
So yeah, I use Comcast. And I hate it.
My choices are AT&T and Comcast. Both are shitty and treat you equally shitty, but Comcast actually works most of the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah I’m choosing Aol or Starlink before Comcast
As a happy Comcast customer, my old ISP still only sells plans up to 100 Mbps and it routes all traffic through a city that’s over 200 miles away.
