My basic cable bill, no box - just a line, w/Comcast is $61 total for what ... 60 crap channels and change of which I watch ten - maybe? Ludicrous. They're penalizing me for not going up another $15 for the box and another dozen crap channels of which I'd watch two or three.

Problem here is trees. I'm surrounded by them.

It ain't fun.

These two guys knew their stuff, got the job done right the first time and were polite and professional. All things that Comcast lacks.

Glad to see I am not the only one that appreciates this stuff. I started doing this years ago and it is amazing how people treat you when they know you appreciate them.

I always tip well when I get acceptable service from anyone. It goes a long way and people remember you and take care of you when you return for service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21738985 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 10:06:58 EDT Re: Not surprising at all http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21738597 Camelot One :

ATT fan? Have you been drinking?

U-Verse is not available here, by the way.
I was trying to figure that comment out too. With only your post and mine above it, neither of us in a Uverse area, I'm not sure who he/she was talking to.

Surprising an ATT fan is had CableTV especially after U-Verse is out!
LOL! Maybe he wants to watch 2 hdtv streams AND surf the net at the same time? :D
That's funny, considerng that I couldn't even watch one HD channel on Comcast.

After that I'll be paying $68. Which, by that time, Comcast will be charging more than the $97 I was paying them for fewer channels. And there was no startup or installation fees, although I did tip the two guys working outside in 10 degree weather $20.

Too little, way too late. During the 50 minutes I sat on hold last week I decided enough was enough. When a Comcast agent finally got around to my call told him that instead of dropping to a lower tier I was dropping them entirely. The dish went up today, and it'll cost half what Comcast was charging. Screw 'em.

This Twitter nonsense is little more than a PR move. If they were really trying to improve customer service you would not have to sit on hold with them during weekday business hours for almost an hour to get anything done.
So its half of what Comcast was charging? Is it the exact same service? And what will the price be after the promotion?

So I am not at all surprised that they want to "help" those who have the largest audience. (twitter, bloggers, reporters, etc)
