The only way to reach Comcast (in my experience) is to get a phone number from
the customer having a problem. Sometimes that is slightly more helpful.
In the recent DC power outage it was clear that my power company did not want
to be reachable. The same is true for at less a couple of the domain registrars
(not Verisign in this case :).
My guess is that being unreachable is company policy. Perhaps there is someone
on the list that could clarify the companies policy in this regard.
