Comcast has your back with subscriber support service

With new devices proliferating in homes like kudzu spiked with Miracle-Gro, Comcast has launched a new support service to troubleshoot subscribers' in-home connection problems.

Additionally, 75 percent of those surveyed prefer to receive all of their technical support services from a single vendor.
