Price is correct for TV customersWell, it's still $42.95 if you have their cable TV service, and I think most Comcast Internet customers do. |

Also the guy do not remember that 3.00mb was the speed prior to Feb 2002,when Comcast cut the speed by 50% - these people have very short memories |

In Boston they state the stipulations: (from china crisis 's article) "Comcast High-Speed Internet is available for $42.95 per month for current cable television customers." No such stipulations on the price are stated in the Delaware blurb. Has Comcast removed the cable tv requirement in Delaware? |

The catv requirement is valid for all Comcast areas.
Remember the media writes what they want to report and may/usually leaves out other details. |
|

Although there are cases where the media writes what they are told - with some of the details being left out by the person providing them with the information. |

Re: Price is correct for TV customersDoesn't Comcast own some media outlets?
I looked to see who owned delawareonline, and here's what it said:
This www.delawareonline.com website (the Service ) is owned and operated by [corporate name of website owner]
I couldn't find any additional information about "[corporate name of website owner]" though. Very odd name for a company. |

delawareonline.com is owned by a newspaper called "The News Journal. Comcast doesn't own any news media co. (yet) |

A whois on the domain leads me to believe that 'The News Journal' is owned by someone called Information Network, Inc, GanSat. AKA; Gannett Media Technologies International (GMTI), a subsidiary of Gannett Co. Corporate Overview Gannett Co., Inc. is a leading international news and information company that reaches audiences through publishing, television and the Internet. Gannett is the largest newspaper group in the U.S. where it publishes 100 daily newspapers including USA TODAY, the nation's largest-selling daily newspaper. Gannetts combined average daily U.S. circulation is 7.7 million and 7.2 million on Sunday. Gannett also owns almost 500 non-daily publications in the US and USA WEEKEND, a weekly newspaper magazine with a circulation of 23.7 million. And on the usatoday website i get "© Copyright 2003 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co. Inc." It doesn't appear that Gannett is owned or operated by any of the 9 major media corporations - I think they are their own entity. All information is verifiable. Research done on www.Google.com » www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/f ··· /giants/» www.fair.org/extra/9711/gmg.html» www.gannett.com/www.USATODAY.com www.netsol.com And information used to verify gansat's relations as a subsidiary to Gannett inc was found at www.ftc.gov Also, delawareonline displays two Gannett logos on the bottom of their website, along with one of USATODAY, a subsidiary of Gannett as stated above. |

Re: Nybbles?OK since there are 8 bits per byte or 2 nibbles in a byte that would come to:
3000000Mb / 4N = 750000N or .75MN
But I am tired and somewhat sleep deprived this morning. |
