Reader Ryan sends us a gallery of photos depicting the aftermath of an unfortunate meeting between a moving Comcast van and his house.
Ryan says:
Apparently their trucks run on “high speed” only. And guess what? No free cable.

Either that or the OP intentionally put his house in front of the van to try and get the house repaired for free.
This is part of comcarp’s new we crash into your house to knock down your dish / knock out other cable co cable line and when you come out they will say I can install comcrap cable right now.
Why is the police dog there? Is it trained to sniff out car crashes?
Do you think they’re going to charge for a technician visit?
That is one crappy house.
@West Coast Secessionist: I actually LOLed. Can we please get someone to cut & paste a cute kitty behind the wheel?
Wow comcast must of heard about diebold and walmart in the contest and staged this event. Yes, I believe they are actually trying to win worst company in America.
@Charred: No story, just a little humor.
You do know what THAT is, don’t you?
Yet another reason why I hate Comcast.
@kmt06002: A van hitting a house is funny because… ?
The speed throttling game is back on Comcast’s court.
I’ll bet the Comcast driver went off the road in a fit of shock when he saw that the residents are not recycling their phonebooks. Just look at that first environmentally disturbing photo.
@EvilConservative: Actually I rather have to disagree. We already know they hire non-technical morons that miss appointments and leave the job undone at houses. This just goes to prove their moron caliber even further, right along with that story about them drag racing and killing someone, I believe it was a few weeks ago?
Why can’t people like you just face it that they are careless and incompetent across the board?
Oh let me guess – you shop at WalMart too…
@luz: It’s probably a drug dog sniffing to see if there was crack under the car seat…wouldn’t surprise me – Com-Crack.
@ViperBorg: The drivers are the former customer dis-service people promoted to higher levels of messing with people.
@Farquar: I’m sure the local HOA just loved your little vomment…
Neighborhood home values goin DOWN!!!!
Clearly the OP didn’t call technical support when the truck crashed, otherwise Comcast would have sent the van a reset signal, which would have cleared up all their problems.
Alright… no free cable. What did they offer?
‘I’ll just bring my tools straight in…..’
The area code on the van (301) corresponds to an earlier Consumerist report about a hijacked Comcast van near Baltimore. That could explain the camera crews and rescue dog.

@Edge231: Well a Van did kinda just come crashing right into it.
at least they didn’t set your house on fire or bore into utility power lines or sewer lines.
Driver: “…and I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids and that bong-sniffing mutt, Scooby-Doo.”
“In other news please stop telling the editors what shoudl and should be posted on the site.”
@Wormfather is Wormfather: I second that. As I always say to those that complain about the content: If you don’t like it, leave! Now where’s that banhammer, Meg?
@aaron8301: Yeah. How dare readers of a blog give feedback to the blog’s editors! They might learn more about their audience or refine their approach…or, gasp, even try something new as a result!
it appears the Broadway mover truck driver, after leaving Boston,
found another job…with Comcast.
It’s actually Comcast’s fault, they’re Dish customers, the driver was scheduled to ram the house two doors over.
Drunk and high on weed. Comcast, ready or not, here we come!!!! *floors accelerator*
@Manator Is Sorry:
“My sarcasm is not very good… This is why I fail at these posts, lol.”
HA! Or maybe I’m just too literal of a person. Oh well… Good times, good times.
@legwork: Hilarious!
