The very first sentence in this article sounds like an advertisement. It really should be written simply as "Comcast Corporation, formerly registered as Comcast Holdings, is a US based mass media and communications company. It is currently ranked as having the highest revenue in the world as a International Media Corporation. |
|
|
== Comcast and AT&T Merger == |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Ambiguous alert (woo!) == |
|
I feel that the discussion of the merger referenced in item 72, not only leads the audience to presume that comcast has current holdings in AT&T U Verse, but also the source has no affiliation with the security and exchange commission. |

Hello fellow Wikipedians, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Greetings Wikipedians! Two issues here: 1) The narrative part of this section seemed to be outdated. There was text about results from 5-10 years ago but nothing about more recent years. I deleted the outdated text and added a brief, non-judgmental summary of 2022, supported by citations. 2) A web site called "Simply Wall Street" is cited multiple times by prior editors. How do we know that web site is a reliable source? I'd prefer to see something written by a firm or publication that is closer to Misplaced Pages standards. The boilerplate on "Simply Wall Street" is not impressive: "Simply Wall Street Pty Ltd (ACN 600 056 611), is a Corporate Authorised Representative (Authorised Representative Number: 467183) of Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 337927)." Full disclosure: I have no conflict of interest or affiliation with Comcast apart from the fact that I use their cable TV and internet products. Cordially, ] (]) 14:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC) |

The Comcast logo was updated in early 2024 to include a reflection layer that's not represented here. The new SVG logo is available on Wikimedia Commons, can someone update this here? The correct version of the logo is reflected at https://corporate.comcast.com and at https://brand.comcast.com. |

== Confusing sentence == |
|
|
In the following sentence under the Criticism section: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
⚫ |
] (]) 02:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC) |
|
"Comcast refused to correct the name on their bill after bringing it to the attention of numerous customer service outlets for the company by explaining that Ricardo is the legal name of the customer, so the Browns turned to consumer advocate Christopher Elliott." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:This is the correct and current logo that appears on the website. ] (]) 15:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC) |
|
Two things are unclear: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Notifying about SpinCo == |
|
1- Who is "bringing (the bill) to the attention..."? Sense dictates it's the customer, but from the way the sentence is phrased, it sounds like it's Comcast who's doing it (which would be against their own interests). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please see ] for discussion related (more directly) to it. <span style="color:#7E790E;">2601AC47</span> (]|]) <span style="font-size:80%"><span style="color:grey;">Isn't a IP anon</span></span> 13:31, 20 November 2024 (UTC) |
|
2- Since Ricardo Brown's name was changed to "Asshole Brown" in the bill, how could Comcast possibly defend itself by alleging that "Ricardo" is the customer's real name? It would be like making a drawing with the sky colored red, and when someone asks you why did you paint the sky red, you answer "because skies are blue". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:Moreover, any chance that we could proceed with ] or ]? <span style="color:#7E790E;">2601AC47</span> (]|]) <span style="font-size:80%"><span style="color:grey;">Isn't a IP anon</span></span> 13:33, 20 November 2024 (UTC) |
