I talked with our tech people before
deciding to do this and they told me to just go in on the website and download them and if I had trouble to let them know.
Okay, talked to a tech support guy at my office and
Medquist switched the Imail system to web-based, partly to help cut down on virus transfer, and now it is a mess and thousands of employees are trying to access their mail at once on the same system (I still haven't been able to get on). He wasn't too happy about it and hopes that either they will figure out a solution to this or change it back to the old Imail.
Your husband tech guys are not the bible. You have go give access for tech sm
support to get onto your computer. Just sit there and watch everything they do. If you still feel uncomfortable do not take the job.
Agree. You could be a Surgical Tech or Respiratory Therapy or a Med. Tech. nm

Comcast
Just wanted to let everyone know that I just ordered Comcast digital phone service. There are no restrictions. Unlimited is unlimited.
comcast
I've had their phone svc for many months now. the only problem is that when the cable goes out, so does your broadband, phone, everything, so make sure you have a cell phone so you can call in your outage. I'm in Indiana and dialed in to NY and there was never a question about how much I was on it.
Comcast
This is unlimited throughout the country. I could have added international, which there will be a charge for later, but I don't need it. I told them what I do for a living, that I am not speaking to a person but dialing into a dictation system. She had me hold while she checked and came back on telling me "unlimited is unlimited." I could have kissed her!
Comcast
Hmmm...I was told something different.
Comcast
If you have their cable and internet, you get the phone rate for $39.95.
Comcast
I just talked to Comcast out here in Oregon and they told me that if I was in anyway using my phone for any "calls that generated an income" that I would be considered a "business" and there would be a business charge for the "unlimited long distance". So I think in time they will catch up with any of us and it will be the same as ATT, etc. If it generates an income, it is a business. It is like my Comcast internet, they wanted to charge me the "business rate" since I used it for business which was almost double of the "residental rate". So I think right now each area does not know what the other area is doing/saying but once they get up and running if they can ding you extra charges they will. So enjoy it while you can. Patti -- yes I talked to as high up manager as I could. 
Anyone with Comcast and have you
in any way been told you were using the internet too much? One of the consumer advocates here in town yesterday probably about the most upset I have ever heard. Comcast is telling some consumers their internet service is going to be disrupted for using "too much" although when asked how much is too much, saying that is their secret?
comcast
I have comcast as well and never heard such a thing. I am basically on almost 24/7 so this is excessive and never, never heard such a crazy thing!
Comcast
The only high-speed we have in this area IS Comcast. For years, they were slow slow slow, constantly going down. I called them at least several times a week. They finally laid a new cable which has taken care of a lot of the problems but they should be a lot faster still. I called constantly and demanded constant credit on my account (which I got) even though they tried to find excuses such as it must be MY computer, MY lines, MY problem. When I called the utilities commissioner for my state, all MY stuff started working again. If they don't listen, call your utilities commissioner and then send e-mail to Comcast letting them know they will be hearing from them. Maybe that will wake them up.
Comcast
Give up and get on DSL. When Comcast bought out Time Warner, NY internet service went from reliable to having to reset and reboot every morning. I have a friend who has to reset and reboot every few hours. She simply loses internet service in the middle of whatever she is doing. To make matters worse, if you need a tech's help with Comcast, be prepared for a wait. I was told it would take at least a week for a tech to come to my home in spite of my explaining I earned by living over the net and could not possibly afford a week without working.
DSL has been awesome - always reliable, great service. Extremely easy set up. Have NEVER had to call a tech about anything. I would highly recommend this internet provider to everyone.
Comcast
Please overlook typos. Hopefully I am better than that.
Comcast..........
I live in Mississippi..... I've had it since moving to this area, about 10 years. From the get go we've had nothing but up and down service and at the worst possible times...when I'm working!! It will go down without explanation...customer service never has an answer, so after several years of constant problems, I finally found a local supervisor (got his number) and he actually fixed the problem. He sad he wasn't getting the information that this area was having all these problems. Haven't had a lot of problems since, even though it does still ramdonly go down..... we NEVER get advanced warning of anything, ever!! We've still had some problems but nothing like before.
I can't say it's fast, even though that's what they claim it's supposed to be. That has been our only option until recently... now there's DSL but still don't know if this will be any better.
I know - me too - I talked to
she said things are just as crazy in Canada now days as they are in the States...though they are stressed over our hurricane/new orleans situation a lot.
But prices of land and housing are just as bad there as here - |

You probably should have talked to tax guy
x
Last I talked to them and
talked to somebody who worked there, the pay was only about 7 cents a line and the software/system was not very efficient.
HEY JUST TALKED TO KEN OR RAO OR WHOEVER
 Wow, had problems with messages everytime I GOOGLED about computer shutting down since McAfee deal. Well great, doing personal things tonight, do not want to show them that, thought needed another puter, this happened before some malware virus, they gave me another POS. Anyhow, we got chatting and I asked him about India, blah, blah, but dang (insert poopy cacca here) I think he was Indian. No kidding, the more we chatted, I bet they are instructed not to hold a real conversation. I worked for an Indian doctor, recognize the accent. I wonder where I really called. I called on my cell phone, only phone I have now, so it better not be overseas. Wow. He was talking about Obama helping us, blah, blah, blah. I am niave a lot, it took a while, but he was our enemy! This stinks
I have/had Comcast phone too
I have Comcast home phone service and it is expensive in my area. It was about $60 a month (including all the taxes & fees) but I only had unlimited calling throughout the east coast, mainly the New England area. I downgraded my phone service to the basics and now I use my cell phone for the majority of my calls, it actually turned out to be cheaper for me to use the cell over the landline. I kept the landline hooked up just for a home phone for emergencies & for ppl to call in to us but for me to make calls, they all go thru the cell.
I originally signed up for Comcast back in 2003. I know they are in stiff competition now with Verizon and both companies are offering better, more competitive rates.
Comcast Update
Comcast digital phone installed today. I cannot believe how clear it is! Luv it!
Adelphia/Comcast
I'm confused too. I was told Adelphia would be changing over to Comcast as well.
I've decided to give Verizon a try though. I'll keep Adelphia during my 30-day trial and see how it goes. I hope the change over to Comcast goes smoothly without too many outages.
Vonage or Comcast
I have had Vonage for about two months now and I have had no problems at all. My friend has it too. I wasn't charged for the modem, and I have two lines with them. They did charge a setup or installation fee of about 42.00, but they give you the first month for free..so I didn't think that was too bad. Most companies do charge some kind of installation fee no matter where you go. I don't use a C-phone or anything though, so I can't say whether there are problems with that or not. If you have Comcast in your area, they now have digital phone with unlimited long distance. Every Comcast phone customer will have it before long, because they are doing away with their regular phone service and switching completely to digital. Which I'm not too happy about, because if your internet connection goes down, then you're stuck with no phone. No more land lines with them. If you have internet and cable through them as well, you can bundle the three and pay 99.00 a month for all 3 services for a year. :O))
Can you even get to the Comcast homepage?
I've tried typing it in manually, have used FireFox and Internet Explorer, and nothing is coming up. Maybe I should fire up the Mac and see if I can get in through Safari.
Comcast Internet
Does anyone use Comcast for broadband. I do, but I can't get onto the Comcast.net website, and email is not coming through Outlook today. I was wondering if the problem is on my end or theirs. I can get to other websites (like this one!), but I'm also having problems with time-outs on many, many other sites, not just Comcast. I'm wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem.
Comcast really stinks.........
I used to have their cable internet here in Cresson, PA, but I have switched to Verizon high-speed DSL, and I absolutely love it. They do have special sign ups, which you can you lock in at that rate, I did! Sure hope you get rid of Comcast! 
Same here, had problems with Comcast
and kept complaining until they finally sent a repair guy that actucally cared. Funny, when he tried to type in differnt web sites just to see how fast everyting was working he had to ask me to do it cause there are hardly any letters on my keys. LOL
Here in Oregon -- Comcast and what we did
I live on a floating home here in Portland and several of us were having that problem with Comcast and it was because the wiring or the cables were old and going bad. Enough of us complained and I went pretty high up to complain and they finally rewired or re-cabled and now have not had a problem in over 3 years. You need to keep complaining, call for a repair man to come out, keep your repair sheets with why they came out, and even if it goes back up get the repair guy out to check things out. The cost of sending them out is quite high for them. But keep calling and complaining, an squeeky wheel does get oiled. I was very nice at first, then started calling locally and losing it a little bit I did get results.
Comcast problems
Is anyone else out there having connectivity issues with Comcast? I was formerly with Insight which was recently bought out by Comcast. Since that change, the connection is often slow, often resulting in timing-out, which means I have to log back in repeatedly. This is making work very difficult. I called Comcast which did no good. I have reset/reconfigured my router and modem, and done just about everything else I can think of . . . all to no avail. I am seriously considering changing to a different internet service provider, but dread going through that process. If anyone has any tips or ideas, please let me know!
I also talked to payroll and they
are the ones who told me it was a live check. It is not direct deposit.
Sorry to hear that, have you talked to your
supervisor (or do you even have one in this MQ mess)? I am relatively certain my accounts won't be changed, if so then I will have another issue to deal with. I'm hoping for the best cause I REALLY hate to change jobs, but I'm not really expecting it!! I sympathize/empathize with you!! I have heard Transcription Solutions is supposed to be a pretty good company, they usually have an ad on the board. I will be thinking of you.
I have talked to their recruiter and liked her a lot. sm
I would like more information though as the archives give me a very mixed impression. My email is above. I just do not want to make a move without knowing that it will be better, not the same or worse. Right now, I am with MQ.
Thank you.
Have you talked with your supervisor?
Every national I've ever worked for has assigned me a secondary or tertiary account so I never run out of work.
I talked to this really nice guy
I now wish I would have wrote his name down. They let me set up a plan, but I had to agree to the amount they set for me to pay each month, which is high for me, but at least I know it will be gone in 5 years, well now 4.
yes, I have talked with support
and they had tried it on several computers with vista and there were a few minor gliches but it caused problems. The place where I purchased it will offer me 3/4 credit or full credit (waiting to hear the final word) towards a software purchase if I need it. It is a dell so they can do all the work once I am able to connect to the internet after installing the CD software. the company I am looking to go with says that it might be compatable next month with vista (my luck) but I don't want to miss the boat of getting a position. The company though will let me know what they think the best thing is to do. Always something to think about...
Talked about many times
There are ups and downs to both sides. I have my own accounts have been doing it for 20+ years -- cannot believe it. Start small even with tapes, I still do nothing but tapes, and printing and delivery. I have small clinics, two doctor clinics, 3 of them. I do not charge as much as the others but I charge gross line and so I think it all works out to be about the same. I can make up to $50 to $75 an hour at times. But average $40. That includes throwing in the time for printing and delivering so that is my average. My accounts hae been with me for 8 to 20 years. I stay with the tapes as it is easier to not be undercut. But again start small, send out flyers, brochures to doctors, clinics, podistrists, psychologists, chiropractors, etc. You have to be persistent. How many people look at a house before there is an offer. I used to do mailings about every 3 to 6 months when looking for a new account as you have to be at the right place at the right time when they need someone. Cons --But then remember, there is no one to take your place when you are sick or your child is sick so do not over extend. They might be understanding the first time but when it happens often, they are not. Vacations need to be planned out, I take a couple of long weekends, 4-5 days rather than a week at a time. It is hard to get someone to cover and be dependable. It is your name and reputation out there. Your work will always be there in your home, sometimes you just want to run away from it. But the pros are there also. You can make good money, you can make your own hours as long as the work gets done. It takes time and persistence and start out small so you can build a good reputation. Good luck.
I talked to my chiropractor (sm)
and he said that new graduates (probably medical school ones also) are being told that Medicare/Medicaid won't pay for claims that aren't EMR genrated by 2014 and as early as 2009. Thus several new doctors are starting right off the bat with this type of program.
EMR is a fact of life, the touch screen programs are being touted highly for doctors who perform the same type of procedures over and over and several hospitals and large clinics are making the switch.
I woke up this morning and decided to go back to school and finish getting nursing degree. I don't think it's too far-fetched to be realistically concerned about MT being phased out.
I'm the one who talked to him (see message)
Well, emailed back and forth with him actually, and he told me he needed a GROUP that could commit to 5000 lines/day.
He apologized in his email to me for any confusion he caused by posting on this board. I don't think he realized the Job Seeker's Board is for individuals seeking positions and not for MTSOs seeking clients.
a company I talked to said it was not...
she said it was the anti-AAMT; a new group that was against offshoring.
I had trouble with Comcast and lost
3-1/2 days of my 15 day pay period. Try getting them to fix something the next day even if you had to have them the week before. You just have to sit and wait for the next available. To me this is not fair. They didn't fix it the first time around.
Anyway I lost 3-1/2 days work and I am an IC. There was no way to prepare for this other than to try to have backup money. That is one reason I can't get anything saved. It it things like these that are beyond our control. Sometimes it happens on the work end and sometimes on your end. Either way, you lose.
My brother-in-law uses Vonage with Comcast.net...sm
and sometimes when he calls us the calls are crystal clear and other times it sounds like he's talking in a cave. He experiences the same on his end. He did tell us that once he called their tech-support division and had a horrific time trying to understand the person on the other end because their accent was so heavy and they seemed to have problems understanding his questions.
I'm with Comcast and am having trouble, too. I called...
them this morning and spent about 40 minutes trying to do different things and thought it was fixed, but it is not. If I put in an address manually it sometimes comes up, but not always. Good luck.
Has anyone had experience with Comcast e-mail
nm
I have Comcast e-mail; don't know about Incredimail. nm
nm
I use Incredimail with my Comcast account...
and so far like it! I use it with my Yahoo email account. Do you have it or are getting it?
I have Incredimail AND Comcast E-mail
and I LOVE it! For some reason I couldn't view my e-mail through Incredimail and had to go directly through Comcast's site and I hated it! I'm so glad that my Incredimail is working again...it's so much more efficient (and fun)! Let me know if you have any questions about the setup.
I am a Comcast customer (HSI/cable TV) and wonder if I
should go with Comcast for long distance calling. Or, is there a better plan? Vonage perhaps? I have AT&T right now, maybe they have a package that includes free long distance calling.
Signed, Just got a new Job

e-mail and outlook - comcast
You should be able to do exactly what you are saying. I don't know the exact steps, but you should be able to use outlook as I do this and have atlantic broadband as an ISP. I don't like using the ISP home page, I prefer Outlook... it should work.
Have you talked to soldiers who have been in Iraq?
I have. I was told that we definitely needed to be in Iraq, that the job was far from being done. I was also told that our soldiers would be in less danger now if the U.N. were not imposing so many restrictions on what they have been able to do. The technology used to protect them costs money, yet we want to yah-yah over what is being spent. Wars are horrible, but they will always be a reality. I will not even argue about whether what Bush is doing is the best that can be done, but I know there are more minds working on the problem than just his, and we do not know, and probably will never know what is really going on. We only know what the media lets us know, and how reliable is that?
