It's no wonder that customer support is held in such low esteem. I wonder if this is what they were told to say, or they don't know so they made something up. |

Of course it was routine maintenance. That is the usual message that is put up, correct? 
I also like how someone was told "the internet is down". |

I would guess good social engineering combined with NetSol support drones that are in some call center on the other side of the world that does not know who Comcast is.
It's not that hard to get account information reset, it's most often a huge pain in the ass. I am sure someone will come up with more silly rules to make these changes.
One of the things I get stuck doing at work is helping move domains to our hosting. Some times the customer wants to move their domain registration as well. About 7 out of 10 domains I move the customer has no idea what the username/password is and the email address on the domain is very often an email address they have not had in years. |

Re: caught in a lie
Denial of the existence of a problem and lying to a customer in general is and has always been the official Comcast policy.
It is not a surprise that this policy is still being practiced.

1 edit | You can check Comcast email here
»m.comcast.net/signIn.jsp?redirec···List.jsp
Also, if you use a mail program like outlook express; Windows Mail; Thunderbird; Outlook; etc then Comcast email is working.
It is only the std web interface that isn't working. |
