Don’t think American consumers have forgotten about Comcast, however — the Harris survey found that it’s the most hated ISP, the second-most hated pay TV provider and the eighth-most hated company overall.

When it comes to positive news for tech-related companies, Harris’s list of the most liked companies included Amazon (No.2 overall), Samsung (No. 3), Apple (No. 9), Google (No. 10), Sony (No. 13) and Microsoft (No. 15).
And in case you’re wondering, the most hated company in all the U.S. in Harris’s poll was Goldman Sachs, which has earned a reputation as the “vampire squid” of the financial world.
