Re: Translation"

I would probably have no 'real' issues with testing it either.
I'm not on HD, and use DSL for work, as its been solid (couple issues over 3 years).
The one thing that will keep me is cost/service.
Cable (Comcast) right now is overpriced, and has poor service in my area.

Comparison:
Comcast cable: $60.40 (digital for 1 set) or $55.00 for analog
HSI bundled: $42.95 + $3 rental
Voice (Vonage - Comcast doesn't sell it here yet): $24.95/month
= $131.30 + taxes/fees/franchise fees

DSL: $29.95/month (3Mbps/512kbps)
Phone: $ 39.95/month + $4.95/Canada (unlimited = Vonage)
DirectTv: $55 / month (3 tuners)
= 129.90 + taxes/fees/FUSF, etc.

They're pretty similar in cost.
Comcast has poor (analog --> digital) quality on channels below 100

Re: Translation"

I told my local cable provider (Time-Warner) to go straight to hell last summer. It's the best thing I ever did. Quality sucked, cost sucked, selection sucked. May Time-Warner cable burn in hell forever.
