| Oh, please...just switch and be done with it. From what I know about this, they are canning CDP for CDV. Our fellow Comcaster, Dadkins had CDP for years and got a notice that they were shutting it off, offering CDV at a intro price and the install was dirt easy for him.
If they're sending out notices to people like these, why are they complaining, just switch and be done with it. You don't lose your number and you may even come out on top. |

| Agreed.
As long as Comcast is not making existing customers of CDP pay a install fee, even if a tech had to come out, then I see no reason for too much complaining.

Carrollton, TX | Absolutely. They did the same in Texas a year or two ago without any publicity or complaints (that I'm aware of).
Another non news-worthy item. |

Yes, this change has been ongoing for a long time. CDP is being phased out everywhere in favor of CDV.
Here is a discussion on the same topic back in June of this year here at BBR:

The only problem, for some, is that CDV, in many areas, still only supports two phone lines. MOST of the people, in this area, that have yet to migrate to CDV are those with 3 or more lines. I have seen customers with 2 CDV lines and 1 CDP service at the same place..
The 4 line eMTA is coming soon to a lot of areas... not to mention, Comcast finally started offering CDV business so that should help those people.
But, yes... a lot of people are getting some SWEEET deals to migrate.. My area has yet to send the force letters as of now but I know St Paul will be loosing the switch next year. MPLS (former TWC) has always been on VoIP / Digital Voice ... no problems there.
The funny thing, though, is that you CAN still get CDP here.

O_O Let me get this straight...Comcast wants everyone off CDP and onto CDV, only they still offer CDP in your area? Sounds like a mismanaged setup there.
Say I would get CDP, and a week later get a letter saying my service was gonna be shut off and to switch to CDV. I would have to take more time to do this.
I can see why, in that situation people would be very irritated.
Why not just offer CDV and be done with it? |
