If it made a large backup over Wifi, it might well have taken over an hour to do so. 7:28 PM was when the last backup BEGAN. At what time did it end?

In an earlier post of mine here (August 5) I said:

> Recently I have also determined that the online log of my phone calls shows the call times as if they were U.S. Mountain Time, although I'm in the Eastern Zone. It also shows some "Answered Calls" that actually were never answered (nor, after checking with the "callers", ever made). Finally, I'm not happy with the fact that when I tried to block a couple of very frequent "robo" calls, I was informed that the numbers, (860)059-4744 and (860) 000-0000, were "not valid numbers" and therefore could not be blocked! I would think that if Comcast's system could determine that the numbers were not valid it would be a trivial matter to block them. (And yes, my phone numbers are, and have been, on the Do Not Call list.)
>
> The friendly and helpful lady who answered my call promised to do all she could to get to the bottom of the problems in the preceding paragraph, and I'll report any success here.

The problem with Comcast has not only not been resolved, but has gotten worse. Now calls in the log that are listed as having been made on one date show a date months earlier when the call detail is selected. Several days ago I spent another hour and a half on the phone with another representative who expressed surprise at the issues I reported and said she had never seen these issues before, but who never managed to solve them. A short time later I discovered Comcast forum on which show five other customers with these same problem. If you have Comcast internet/phone service, check the logs of your phone calls.
