IMO, Comcast is the best in terms of quality and speed

Cause they are stupid, depending on what area you live in.

As were the countless numbers of similar stories you've told me, eh?  :D

Anyway, Comcast sucks as far as quality is concerned. As soon as you have a problem,I promise you'll want to get rid of them. And they keep getting worse too. :yes:

Interestingly enough, I got a notice in the mail from Comcast today stating that in-house wire maintenance is no longer a free service. However, you can nw get  a plan where for an additonal $2.95 a month (added to the already outrageous bill most of us have) they'll still take care of the inside wiring. How retarded is that? I mean, do they have a committe whose job it is to see how many ways they can screw their customers?  >:(

Indeed they do. Comcast buying out SusCom here was the worst thing that could've happened. Our cable bills went up, and they removed some channels from the basic cable lineup. Also, there were times that out internet would be down for hours. I remember one time last summer, out internet was down for at least three days. When it first went out, we called Comcast, and they told us they were working on the problem, and it should be up shortly, and three days later it comes back. That's simply unacceptable. That kind of stuff never happened before Comcast took over here.

Well from what ive been able to determine, it all depends on the area you live in. my friend lives in the Northeast, he says Comcast is shit, horrible picture and sound (on TV that is), but you cant get better than Comcast here.

it all depends on Headend and area.

Oh my gosh, I HATE COMCAST cable.  I really hate how there is only ONE cable provider in the area :angry:

Oh well, I've decided to switch to Dish Network on August 1st.  MUCH better, IMO. :yes:

Gil, did you leave a window open? Cause your theory just flew out it.  :D

Unofrtunately, the problem with Comcast in this neck of the woods (as I suspect it is in others as well) is that they have NO competition, and are basically free to do as they please. I beleive that the cable industry needs to be regulated, otherwise the problems will only keep escalating.

Either the post per day counter is out of whack, or Gil is post happy. Because according to his profile, he makes 64.276 post per day! :crazy:
