I thought these reviews for providers are supposed to be based on your experience of their internet service?
I'm not trying to start a fight or nothing, but..hop up off the guy!!! He talked about the internet. He talked about the "equipment", although it was his own modem. When you write the review, it asks about what "PACKAGE" was purchased!!! His happens to have TV also. This site has more than just the internet! All these FIOS ppl, talk about their tv, and hell, almost everybody reviews their service the same as this guy!
I sure want to know what a company's like if I'm considering them for my $$$. And that includes>>TV & phone.
It was simply un-called for to give the guy a thumbs-down, and sweat him because he mentioned the poor tv service along with the INTERNET!!
Umm there was no fight, so why did you want to start one?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-isnt-this-internet-based-review-20489182 Thu, 15 May 2008 18:51:31 EDT Re: isn't this internet based review? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-isnt-this-internet-based-review-20489084 said by BSD24:

To a degree, and true early on when the reviews first started.
These days it looks like everyone is creating packages, and what you are paying varies depending on what is bundled.
If my internet is $10 cheaper because I also have TV, then TV must also be considered, because for more and more of us, we can't look at just internet when making decisions on what to get or keep. There is a bigger picture, and a lot more information to gather and consider...
things like how is 911 handled on the phone service?
Are local stations on a dish?
Can cable handle a home alarm phone hook-up?
Until there is a dramatic shift, I don't see value pricing on individual components being offered. So internet connection, while important, is not complete picture for decisions.
Very true, but the reviews are based on speed, tech support, reliability, price of the internet service provider. But your points are still valid when your opinion for Comcast services in a bundle environment concern. The ratings are internet based (the chart with percentage selections - like Connection Reliability, which doesn't have anything to do with TV or Phone in the terms that they are meant for on this site) though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-isnt-this-internet-based-review-20488669 Thu, 15 May 2008 17:21:59 EDT Re: isn't this internet based review? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-isnt-this-internet-based-review-20488574 These days it looks like everyone is creating packages, and what you are paying varies depending on what is bundled.
