You said you have higher standards, not different. As I read it, you're kind of implying your standards are better than most Americans. Is that what you meant, or was this just a poor choice of words?

Comcast is the absolute worst.

I also tried nice and polite the multiple times I called Comcast about a major billing error. CSRs were nice...some were horribly incompetent (I've come to believe that the incompetence is on purpose with Comcast). Each one said they were "putting a ticket in" and "escalating" my case.
