<DIV>Good luck...I have been fighting this fight for several years
now. First with Bright House and now with Spectrum.</DIV>
<DIV>I had heard about comcast’s accessability program and I am filled with
envy.</DIV>
<DIV>I had 15 techs come to my house 13 different times from Spectrum and they
had no idea their company had such a program. I had to show them the
Spectrum web page where Spectrum advertises their accessability options for
their blind and visually-impaired customers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Keep me posted about your experience and let me know if I can be of any
help.</DIV>

was fortunate to have Comcast Voice Command service in Illinois since 2014. It
was very effective. I was told that it was the only accessible system of its
type in the U.S., but that ALL cable companies would be required to provide a
similar service by January 2016. That clearly did not happen. After moving to
Tampa, I called Technical Support of Spectrum to find out what Accessibility
features were available, the person on the phone literally didn’t even know what
I was talking about. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
