Comcast
Philadelphia telecom conglomerate
Comcast is an American telecommunications conglomerate, the largest cable television and internet provider in the United States.
The company also owns NBCUniversal.
In casual speech, Comcast often appears in complaints about customer service or billing disputes: I spent two hours on hold with Comcast.
The name functions as shorthand for frustrating experiences with large cable monopolies.
