Just another example of Comcrap's predatory prices

»'Discounted' Competition

Yeah, and we all believe their ads that muni competition is bad. If they can provide the price in that market, they should have no trouble doing it anywhere...that is unless they're breaking the law...again. »straylight.law.cornell.edu/uscod···00-.html

You aren't stuck with them at all. You have a choice to not be a Comcast customer. No one is forcing you.

Amazing.

Is customer service from the entrenched incumbent improving in these competitive areas too?

I guess only time will tell.

Competition is a good thing

Perhaps a sign of things to come when(if?) the RBOCs get it together?

Thank YOu

As more news like this comes out I hope this puts an end to all the bs cable companies, and certain people on these board always say about having a second choice will not lower prices whether its a muni or a teleco. Wait until verizon, sbc,etc get going in the coming years the price gouging of companies like comcast,cablevision,etc are coming to an end.

Re: Competition really DOES help the comsumer

Well...I have Comcast and love it. My point, though, is that you are not being forced to be a customer. If it's so terrible then dial-up may just be better for you.

Yeah I know where you're coming from. I used to love Comcast up until about 2 months ago. Now its real laggy 24/7. Tech support says everything works as intended and my modem is getting a strong signal. Eh. Everybody in my area has same problem as me.

Re: Competition really DOES help the comsumer

entropy get off Comcast shaft. The company is the only option for broadband in lots of places and 56k cant work for allot of people who's jobs involve using the pc.

So bloated over priced comcast is the only pic for some people, also not to mention the only cable operators in most states aka Monopoly, lets play tho because Ma Bell is the king of all Monopoly's and when her bell rings comcast will cry a vary.... vary green tear.
