Re: So... said by canesfan2001:Can i expect to see better TV service and increased internet access speeds as a result of some kind of investment in infrastructure? And PLEASE update the software on the cable boxes! Sorry but you will likely see a decrease in picture quality as Comcast stuffs more shopping and religious channels into their lineup without allocating more bandwith to their video streams.
You will probably also see a lot more friendly communication from Comcast in the form of warning letters as you puncture their usage caps watching streaming video and downloading games/demos/movies to your various consoles and or computer.
They lost 138,000 basic cable subscribers...so what? I'd like to see how many digital cable subscribers are jumping ship to go with satellite or something else.
FTFA: "Comcast added 320,000 digital cable customers in the second quarter of 2008, below the 823,000 digital cable customers added in the same period one year ago. This deceleration was anticipated and reflects the significant deployment of digital boxes in the second quarter of 2007 in advance of a July 1st regulatory deadline."
This is telling. That's one hell of a "deceleration" and shows that "new Comcast subscribers" are just "old Comcast subscribers" churning subscriptions. |
