Re: Isn't this what killed @HOME?
well it is official Comcast is dead
it is 100% GUARANTEED!
how do I know this
it is simple I am an ISP KILLER
my first ISP was through a university....they no longer have that service
my next ISP was the free one that came before NetZreo....I used them when my school ISP was too crowded...and I hacked the ad bar away......that company died right as netzero was somehow pulling cash to get started
so I went with Netzero.....they went bankrupt
I had Bluelight also for a bit....they went under (and Kmart too)
then I got went BIGTIME and got Sprint Ion....they ditched it even though I still think it was the best ISP I ever had....I even got money from them for dropping me....crazie!...I still have my hub
then I went with Direct TV DSL.....right when I found out I had to drop them they dropped the service....I can't remember if I had to pay them to drop or I got out of it because they dropped DSL right after I canceled.....but I did keep the modem when I found out they were out of the DSL game
at the same time I had ION and then Direct TV I worked for @Home doing support.....DEAD!
when I moved I had Cox cable.....Cox sold my area to Suddenlink right after I moved houses and ditched Cox....I still think Cox might have an "Adelphia" moment or they might get out of cable and sell to someone who will probably go under....and I think Suddenlink could have their day in chapter something also
and just recently I did a quicky sting doing support for Comcast
so to keep score
3 dialup killed
2 DSL killed
1 Cable killed
1 Cable sold off (and I think the former and current owners are due for their "Adelphia" syndrom")
and I just did time for Comcast
and now Comcast is on a crap buying spree....like @Home as someone correctly pointed out
content, browsers, locker space, fancy email, security suites, expanded support for non-ISP provided equipment, and any other BS is DEATH for an ISP! |
