USA | ATT better watch out This is a warning to you AT&T. Don't screw us around. |

| I agree. I am switching over my family members who are on Comcast to ATT & Directv.
I just switched over my mother's place to Directv and ATT DSl from Comcast Digital Cable and Modem service due to the capagae. I don't live there but I don't want them supporting the capage.
Plus, they were paying $193/month for TV and internet with Comcast. Thats going to hurt Comcast. 1 more household to go. |

USA | You'll have to wait and see. A good poker player keeps his cards close to the vest and has no tell for his opponents to pick up on. |

said by bigunk:This is a warning to you AT&T. Don't screw us around. Where are you going to go? There just are not any choices for broadband. You can have cable with a 250GB cap or DSL with metered usage. After ATT does this it probably will not be long before Verizon starts caps. |

If you can't make 100k subscriptions disappear in 48 hours I would quit trying to talk big. |

Every little bit helps. You'll see the numbers drop as people switch around from deals to deals. I'm doing my best to get all of my friends and family off of Comcast.
I'm sure Comcast will be calling often to try to lure back my mother  Who's laughing then? Nearly $200/month from a single customer in lost revenue won't be taken so lightly. |

Camden, TN | $140 a month for cable? That's nuts. There's not that much on TV worth $140. |

No offense ninja... but $$45.95 less vs 278,000 new HSI *ONLY* customers( x $42.95 per month = $11,940,100.00 per month... HSI ONLY) - they aren't going to notice this single loss.

| At least they wont have my mothers household anymore. Thats all that matters to me. Pay attention to the numbers after the rates increase for our area for video »Comcast Video-Only Subscribers See Rate Hike Tons of people will be fed up and walk.
Uverse is gaining steam. Free DVR, free set top boxes, free wifi modem/router, all IP video transmission (no fuzzy channels ) We'll see how the numbers play out.
My mothers household is paying $37.89 in equpitment fees alone  $7 outlet fee? WTH? |

Peak, off-peak broadband minutes?
Key words on that linked item there friend - *VIDEO ONLY*.
HSI, since this article is about internet, from Comcast has not had a hike in the 5 years I have had it.
Can't wait to see you here bitching if AT&T bones you and your Mother with an insane cap or metered billing.

Yeah but if more people would vote with their wallets, they couldn't get away with ripping off customers. |

Not rich - I save my money.
Every 2 years(more or less) I buy me a New VAIO.
Since the new VAIOs I get have BD drives - why not get BDs instead of DVDs? DUH! 
Comcast HSI has not had a price hike in the 5 years I have had service... where you at?
Comcast HSI has been stepped up to 16mbps(17.3mbps actual speed(I opted for $10 more for speed years ago))... how's that AT&T doing there for ya ninja?
LOL!

Laguna Hills, CA | Yeah but doesn't AT&T have more HSI subs than Comcast and AT&T only got beat in adds by Comcast when AT&T doubled their intro rates. |
