Cable Provider?
« on: March 20, 2009, 03:23:16 PM »
I know this has almost no correlation to TWC, but I was wondering which cable provider people would prefer to have. Do you like the current one you have?

Comcast is pretty good (don't shoot me). I've never had any other company other than Suburban Cable which no longer exists. So I can't really choose a company I'd want to have.

Don't worry, I have no plans to do that  :rofl2:
ButI ABSOLUTELY hate Comcast. They are a prime example of a monopoly, and I am forced to deal with them. Ah well, just my 2˘  :thumbsup:

It's an opinion. ;) I'm sure there are at least SOME people who like Comcast. Heck, there's a Comcast Facebook group with nearly 300 fans. While that's a small portion of the country's population at least I'm not the only one...

lol you do have a point...however, I think this was not just a thread created to state your cable provider, but also to talk about its service, benefits, disadvantages, likes, dislikes, etc...  ;)  B)
