Wow. Carpet bomb is definitely a fitting title.

The CEO is on there.

Without going into details (as to who)
38 address give unavailable or access denied errors, 5 are "out of office" and 1 quit back in July.

Niiiice. So what, taking out 45 of them still leaves half the list. One of them is bound to be annoyed enough about it to do something.

Thanks, anonymous reader!

Might be kind of late to respond to this particular email thread, but I sent a complaint to everyone on this list and received a phone call not two hours later. I was told that two people on this list are vice presidents and both forwarded my complaint to this person who phoned and was told to "fix this". I ended up getting a $191 credit and my new monthly bill is going down $40 per month. I had been a victim of being quoted one price but getting billed for a MUCH higher price. So it pays to ask....

And.... bookmarked!

Please PLEASE people, do not abuse this list. Don't send a stupid EECB like that guy did about the iPod he ordered for his mom and FedEx lost, demanding that Steve Jobs replace it.

This is obviously a powerful tool when used correctly, but can quickly loose all effectiveness if used poorly. So use it correctly.

I'm the guy who took that photo. I'm glad to see its getting so much mileage. :-)

Incidentally, my houseguest just took a peek, and Comcast finally *did* fix that cable box. The cover is back on... somewhat.

Only took Comcast 9 months. Just like having a baby! Except... in reverse....

thank you again consumerist! i had a genuine issue w Comcast and had gotten no where with multiple reps and supervisors and has given up. But after seeing this posting this morning I decided to give it one last try. Sent a short note on the EECB briefly explaining my main issue. Within 20 minutes (and this was 6am) I had a response from an assistant to the CEO wanted more info. By 10:30am she called me, we discussed fr maybe 5 minutes, and what had previously been told to be the impossible, was in fact possible and done.

thanks again consumerist, you ave come through for me again!

Me too.
I recently moved from one side of Nashville to the other and tried to take Comcast TriplePlay with me... (I'm still on the look-out for other TV/Int/Phone providers if anyone has suggestions). To do this, Comcast said it was necessary to close my old account and give me a new one rather than transfer, and I lost most of functionality of the hosted web/data space and voicemail.

Calls to the CS and Tech support were painful, as all they could ever do was give me a "service order ticket number" and a promise to fix it in 72 hours. One guy offered to send me a free channel line-up sheet, like that would somehow help me.

After a few weeks I lost my patience in them and went to the email bombarding. I hated to resort to that, because I don't like complaining and it's basically spamming, but Comcast isn't cheap and I knew the CS would never get it fixed. By the end of that same day I got a call from a competent Tech dude (thanks Ira) to let me know he was working on it, and by the next day he was able to get my services restored.

I had a problem with spotty Internet for two months. After many calls and no-shows from scheduled repairs, I used this email list and had my problem fixed in under an hour - with a consolatory phonecall to boot.

Thanks - this is awesome.

Would anybody care to remove some of the dead addresses from that list? I know a "focused EECB" is an oxymoron, but adding a dozen extra dead recipient addresses helps make you look like a rabid moron. I don't need help :)

I emailed only the following Comcast executives last night and received a call in less than two hours from the corporate offices. I have cleaned up the list with emails that worked. We'll see how well they resolve my issue.

Brian L. Roberts (CEO)
Ralph J. Roberts
Stephen B. Burke
David L. Cohen

I used the above e-mail list and had no success. I receieved an e-mail response basically saying to call the regular customer service line in the area where I live. I was referred to by a different last name than my own (um, you could have copy and pasted that...) and was told that someone had attempted to call me (this was obviously a lie because my cell phone records all calls). I have no idea what to do now since speaking on the phone gets nothing accomplished with this company, neither does e-mailing apparently.

Just wanted to add a comment about my success within 24 hours of my email being sent:

I sent out an email to everyone on the list at about midnight central
time and had a call the following morning around 10 AM. I was
contacted by someone at the elusive "executive" customer service who I
was able to e-mail by supporting documentation. She told me she would
review and give me a call back. By 3 this afternoon the charges
resulting from being billed twice for the same month had been credited
to my account. Wish I had decided to send an email a lot earlier on in
the process or I could have saved myself 3 months, 10 phone calls and
about 15 hours worth of trouble!

I must thank Consumerist. I have been battling with Comcast for months now over their wii promotion. I (luckily) saved my transcript during the on-line order but my calls were ignored. I filed a formal complaint with my local Attorney General's office but the lack of response by Comcast ended in the case being closed. I sent an email to the CEO and received a phone call the very next day. I included a copy of the "contract" (transcript) with their agent and now I am not only getting the wii but $100 off my bill (all in 2 days). Thank you for helping consumers get treated correctly!

This list worked like a charm. I emailed the list last night around 6pm with a problem my parents been having for over six months. Received a call back within an hour. They actually sent technicians out today, Christmas Eve, to correct the issue. They have been working on the issue for 2 hours now. This is the best service I have ever seen from comcast, awesome early Christmas present for the parents, their cable might actually work by next year. Thanks Consumerist

Thanks so much Consumerist community. This list worked.

In advance of a move to a new house, I'd called Comcast to get our new service activated a couple of days before the move and our existing service terminated on the day of the move. I went to our new house to meet the tech, and the install was no problem, but it was clear that (for non-Comcast-related reasons) the house wouldn't be ready on our move date. We postponed our move for 2 weeks and called Comcast to do the same with our service termination. Of course, the day after we were supposed to move our home phone stopped working. Fast forward three days, two missed appointments, six or seven calls, five or six promised calls back that never happened and I'm about ready to go completely postal.

Instead, I found this post and wrote a calm, but detailed email to the reps on the list.

My wife, who had been the lucky one calling and waiting for the Comcast people, got a call within a couple of hours of emailing. The person who called was a rep at the regional corporate office. He was very disturbed by the fact that so many people had said they would call back and never did. The termination order had actually been stopped, but at some point in the telephone system chain, somebody had started the disconnection. He called initially at around 5:45 and said he'd look into it and call back ASAP. At around 6:30, he called back and said it was working. He actually stayed in the office late to get the problem solved. He said we can call him with our cell phone bills and he'll cover any overage charges as well as provide other compensation for the missed appointments.

The thing that's so shocking is the incredible difference in effectiveness between this person and the people who answer the phones at the regular number. He actually said we should not bother calling the regular number anymore for this issue since everybody's confused about what's going on. The "We have to send a tech out" mentality seems to be a big factor in these scenarios. It must be easier for them to get competent tech staff rather than competent CSR staff. Comcast could go a long way to improving their image if they got more people like the ones at the corporate offices to be available for problem issues like ours.

At any rate, thanks again to Consumerist and the posters.

I used this to contact comcast in regard to an issue for the last 3 months and got positive results. I emailed Friday night, got a call this morning promising me resolution gy the end of the day, received a call mid afternoon, problem resolved. Great service, nice people. There customer service people could really learn from these execs. Wish I found this sooner perhaps I would still be a Comcast customer.

A new statement format revealed that I had been double billed for service since the beginning of my account, almost 5 years. I didn't want free service or an account credit, I wanted a refund. I should have insisted on interest since it was ultimately $735 in overbilling. It took me many frustrating phone calls and 3 months to get someone to verify this and deliver a refund. I had consulted a lawyer familiar with the utility companies before I did anything to find out the best approach. While I waited for Comcast to acknowledge and respond to my situation, I filed official complaints with the Better Business Bureau of New Jersey (who barely acknowledged my case with an automated email and case number), the Department of Public Advocate and The State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (who were the ones who lit a fire under Comcast.) Still, the thing wasn't resolved properly and I chased people around for 2 months. After taking all these other steps I decided it was time for the EECB. As a customer service professional at a luxury jewelry retailer known for excellent service, I was careful, patient, and professional in my attempts to get my $735 refunded to me. I waited until it was necessary and then sent an EECB to the names above where I mentioned that my next step would be small claims court. The only person who acknowledged the EECB was internet celebrity and Comcast reputation vigilante Frank Eliason. He was very professional and my issue was resolved by the end of the week with a handwritten, Saturday-delivered check in the full amount. I would have liked more updates instead of having to chase them around, but I'm glad that Frank finally got this done. The EECB worked but it should still be a last resort. We should set an example to them of what competence and professionalism looks like.

I know this article and post is old, but it is very relevent to me.. I am in a ongoing battle with Comcast corporation on the east coast and with there arrogant and complacent corporate executives...

I have used this site and the helpful information to send many polite email corespondents, a semi "EECB".. But it has fallen on deaf ears..

I have names and emails from Comcast corporate executives, threating to send the Comcast disconnect crew to my home, for demading Comcast corporate accountability on the following days, 5/13, 5/14/ 5/15/09....

I am also a Comcast share holder and I am tired of chasing my tail, in trying to find accountability for these arrogant Comcast executives..

I read Comcast "CMC SA" struggled to post a good Q1 for 09... New subscriber sign up, along with keeping those already signed up, are hurting the Comcast bottom line...

I have proof and some of the best corporate arrogant email examples of why they struggle to show a profit...

I want accountability... I need help to bring Comcast corporate executives to account...

Any one else have any suggestions or advise...

Thank you, sincerely

@stanfrancisco: As an employee of a cable company, I can say that it seems like it is very common practice to send a tech out even when the tech can do nothing because the entire problem, billing error or service problem is back office related. When the tech is there, he or she is now the one on the spot with no power to get things done and often times the vicious cycle of calling customer service starts over again because the tech has no power or even knowledge about that sort of problem.

I sent an email to the truncated email list. Only 1 email bounced back. Within a half hour I received a call from Executive Customer Care (Lisa was so friendly and nice) and assured me that they would figure out what department my issue related to (illegally placed node on my property) and would contact me back. Anyway, so it definitely worked. And, for everyone's future reference, the Executive Customer Care phone number is 1-888-309-2583.

This updated list worked like a charm!!! I have a hard line running through my back yard, for 3 months, which my child tripped on and hit his head yesterday afternoon. After calling corporate weeks ago, to no resolution, I called and demanded that this be fixed yesterday. The man I spoke with, a manager, said that there was nothing he could do. So I found this post & started emailing these people at 11pm last night telling them that I have an appointment with my attorney for noon so if they're not here fixing it by 11 I was going to file suit against them for my child's injuries and contact every media outlet who would listen. I just got a call saying that they would be out here by 11am to bury the line! Thanks!!!

Glad I found this site. I called the "CEO's office number" listed on this site but immediately got some action with an issue we've been dealing with for over 5 months now. Our service became spotty at best. We have had the modem replaced and three technicians out to look at things, to no avail. Our internet works about 50 percent of the time and our cable television often has frozen pictures with no sound. Strangely, our internet started to go out at very preditable times (i.e., every weekend starting on Saturday morning and on Wednesday evenings) but the Comcast idiots said that this was just coincidence (I think something stops being a coincidence when it happens regularly for 5 months at a time). Anyway, we have finally made the call to switch to RCN, but I am asking that Comcast refund us at least partially for the service we have not received these past several months. We shall see.

I have been arguing with local comcast since the day i ordered my new service. I had comcast in the last house and the 5 prior to that. They took almost 3 weeks to install the system to come to find out that my HD channels will not work and my interet is spotty at best. i have had 4 techs come out and leave unsuccessful. I have been on the phone wiht cust service, if that is what they call it, over 20 times and still no credits for tech to fix it. So now I have this , I have just sent my issue to evey workable email addrress on that blog thanks

I canceled my service with comcast at the end of May. I thought all was good-but of course not. I received a bill for over $500 with the claim that I still owned equipment (specifically a modem) even though I owned a personal modem and never rented one--never paid for one, even said that it was personally owned on my statement. Of course no one on the customer support line was competent enough to fix this problem. So up until earlier this week I was still fighting with the idiots at customer support. I was so fed up, so I emailed this list of people and literally a half hour later a rep from the corporate office called me (at 9pm at night which was shocking in itself!) and resolved the issue completely. If only everyone at comcast was so helpful! Now all I can hope is that Verizon Fios doesn't screw me over...

These email addresses worked wonderfully! I agree that this list should be used judiciously. I had a problem with what an agent quoted me and what my bill stated. Every rep I called refused to connect me to my original rep, even though I had her extension. I sent an email to this list and within an hour someone called me back and the problem was fixed immediately. This website is great!
