Comcast’s attempt to bash Google Fiber backfires

Mark Frauenfelder 10:24 am Mon Nov 2, 2015

Comcast's Xfinity posted a snide comment on Facebook about Google Fiber's hiccup during a televised pro sports event. Comcast customers used the opportunity to fire back at the much-hated cable provider.

The first reply to the post said, "Screw yourself, Xfinity. Google Fiber has failed once, and you are failing continuously."

The other replies were equally acidic (see below). I almost felt sorry for Xfinity's Rafael, who politely replied to each comment with a request to contact him directly.

Comcast ended up tossing the entire thread down the memory hole, but not before someone grabbed a screenshot.
