It's their way of saying.."thank you for paying so much"

I just wish they had sent something I could use.

I've used Comcast / Xfinity for 12 years at my office. Haven't received anything as a perk. Cancelled the service last week. I want my free *****.

I'm thinking of mounting it on the edge of the turtle pond.

The free ***** isn't worth *****
So, I wouldn't worry about it.

Will it work as a bathroom/shower speaker?
Might speed things up.

I've heard it said that we could win the war on drugs by legalizing everything, but making people use Comcast customer service to procure it.

Comcast calls me about once a month to revise/update my plan. I’ve asked them to take me off the call list. The last guy hung up on me, so I now hang up on them and block the number.

In fact, if anybody calls me, I hang up on them. No more saying, no thanks

I don't understand why Comcast/Xfinity is so high or why just internet is the same. I opted out of cable and returned everything last week. Retained internet.
I use Netflix, Prime and other online services.

Watch out, it may have a hidden WAP inside and you're now broadcasting an open network.

Yes. They did that to us. I repeatedly would go into the router and turn it off and they would turn it back on.

^^^ I think he meant WPA....wi-fi protected access.
I'm giving it to my nephew...I have no use for it. I'ts just a small powered speaker. If it had built in am/fm it would be more useful.

^^^ Ok...I see.
I paired the speaker with my cell phone and played Sirius Deep Tracks. The sound was about equal to the Alexa Dots. Not bad...but not worth using it.
