This will be a good thing, my neighbor cancelled his cable and internet (could not afford it anymore) but Comcast did not disconnect him because the cable for the duplex comes in underground and his line went bad so instead of running a new underground, they ran an aerial line to a pole in an adjacent yard. Tech came out to disconnect, but went to the pedestal instead of the pole. So he is still getting cable but I dont think he is getting anything above broadcast basic since anything more requires a converter in this area.
Makes me mad because I am paying $150 plus for cable and he is not but I don't want to make enemies because we have to live in the same building in close proximity.
The value of the cable he is getting is about $6 per month. -- All of my CPE (including my EMTA) is customer owned. The only Comcast owned equipment in my house is the CableCards in the two TiVO boxes I own.

You're mad over $6? I don't see why you'd be mad at him anyway. Its not his fault Comcast is incompetent. And since he did intend to cancel it, its likely that he's not watching the few channels that he gets. -- Bit Torrent is my DVR.
