Comcast: The Pipe & The Content > The Content?

The Content?

Agree totally.

Comcast may be counting on content to build they're customer base, but bandwidth is the first and foremost thing for me.

FIOS is laying fiber in my area now, and Comcast is history as soon as it's available in my development.

The whole 'walled-garden' content approach always seems to negate consumer education. While not the fastest process, consumers will eventually learn that these little comcast gimmicks are often outclassed by outside parties which are available a few keystrokes away.

Just look at AOL's subscriber base as an example. People eventually learn, maybe not quickly but they do.

I personally prefer "The Pipe" over what I consider lame-ass content. I don't really use the Comcast.net portal at all. I just want faster pipes to download content from wherever I like.

Lucky you, I'm stuck w/Comcast or ATT. Thats like asking which outhouse would I like to use!
As far as content, they seem to think that most Americans have nothing better to do than watch celebrities make fools of themselves. Changed that homepage the day it was installed!
