Realistically, there is nothing Comcast could have done to make you happy in that situation.

Of course, if Comcast was so damn proactive, they would have been paying attention to the county when initially told that a new subdivision was coming in. Considering that the phone company, et. al. were...

Feh.

As for the implied lack of quality of the homes, rest assured, I checked that out before putting any money on the table.

By the way - from what I understand, Comcast is short on the uptake with MOST of the subdivisions around here. So this is not an isolated incident.

Like I said - if Comcast was so damn interested in customer service, they'd be proactive. But they're not. They don't give a damn, and it shows. Too bad. Is there any wonder that satellite penetration in the Atlanta market is so high?

As I said in the beginning, as far as I'm concerned, that was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. As long as the existing customers bend over for the shareholders, Comcast will continue treating folks like dirt.

Is it really the county's job to arrange for utilities to be installed for a new development?

It sure isn't around here. A county can't grant an easement on the property to the utilities, for one thing.

What did your developer have to say about the situation?

Of course no developer could sell a house which wasn't wired for telephone or electric. I figure they probably made a special effort to be sure those went in.
