| Wow, some news... DUH!!! As said before, this is happening everywhere. Who cares if Michigan is not happy. I can say that when it came time to pull the plug in Jacksonville, there was less than 200 people left on CDP. Everyone else was either migrated, or ported out. 95% of the people were SAVING money, the other 5% were folks who were on a slightly cheaper package, and refused to add the service and it's features...

| My opinion and one correction:
I was a CDP subscriber for years and was on a grandfathered package that was never supposed to expire. So instead of expiring it, Comcast pulls the plug and gives me no choice. There was nothing wrong with the old technology, or with CDP profits, hence no justification to force the switch. Remember that companies like Comcast are supplying a public good at a profit. For private goods, let them make these changes as fast as they want, but for public goods, where's the good old Public Utility Commission? Regulate the hell out of these boys! I see no advantage to the switch, except to Comcast. For me, the quality of service is exactly the same, only now I get nationwide long distance included in my fee. Why do I need that when I already have a cell phone with nationwide long distance???
I wouldn't mind the change if Comcast passed a portion of the savings from lower cost equipment on to the customer, but they don't, and they never will. Instead, they're going to charge me an extra $15 per month for something I never requested. Comcast is not my friend. |
