Sad but true: I have family (not far from you in Rockville) currently using Comcast HSI, and it's anything but high speed -- their node is saturated.
Adelphia in my area has been pretty darn good, with the exception of at least one or two thunderstorms disrupting service a month.
Embarq (the new Sprint) is my only other option, and those jokers can't seem to bring their prices down in order to lure Adelphia subs. I'd go 1500k for 2/3 the Adelphia price, no problem. Hell, give me 768 for $19.95; these $100+ cable/inet bills are ridiculous. More so with gas & everything else going up.

| Re: Better things to come said by TK Junk Mail :Anything is better than Adelphia after it was robbed blind by its crooked owners. Now maybe those users will see the completion of system upgrades so that they can get more channels and better package deals. Had you been a subscriber or been part of Adelphia workforce since the bankruptcy you would have seen a tremendous improvement. System upgrades are pretty much complete and there was improvement in every facet of the company. The Adelphia Forum is testament to this today.

| I'll be sorry to see them go Although I haven't been a customer for too long, I've been very happy with their service which for me and many others I'm sure, has been very good.
How often do you find an ISP that gives you 400k over your rated speeds on the downside and almost 60k more on the upside making a 4000/384 package really 4400/440 instead?
And, that's not just for me either. Judging by a recent poll I conducted that was pretty much the standard around the country as well.
I know other ISP's since this time have raised speeds to 6MB and more but things have been on hold somewhat at adelphia pending this switchover, which is why although I'm sorry to see them go, if it's to be then lets get on with it.
As for prices, Adelphia has been very reasonable on that front for me as well, with their ultimate package which is everything they have including HDTV..4 premiums, HSI..for 119.65 per month. Add to that would be 7.95 for the Hi Def digital receiver.
Not too shabby and quite frankly it beat even a dish/dsl combo when I compared their uppermost packages.
And so, in summary, it really isn't Adelphia that failed, nor their service or great employees.
It was the greed at the top and nothing else.
Why this is when someone has so much anyway is really one of those mysteries of life but perhaps it gives credence to the saying that for some people, enough is never enough.
I think that's sad. For them. As people.
And the result of their actions is sad for many others.
Just as SNET here in Ct. became SBC and now, AT&T..
so too will Tele~media that became Adelphia, now become
Comcast.
At the core of these new companies however will hopefully be many of the same names and faces that made them the companies that has long delivered very good service to many.
Good luck to all.
I hope it will all work out.

| Re: Goodbye Adelphia With the demise of Adelphia, I am looking forward to Roadrunner, more digital channels and in the future phone service through Time Warner.
In addition, I feel better with a company that has a solid foundation in the industry that respects its shareholders.
Time Warner will be able to provide technological improvements which only Adelphia could dream of. | |

If you don't subscribe to CATV,Comcast will slap you with a $15/month penalty and hold you at their lowest speed tier.
Getting traded to comcast is like getting bitten in the butt by a rattlesnake!

| Yup! You are right! SO right!
When comcast took over AT&T here in the twinc cites, the following screwings took place:
1) HSI increased from 1.5 to 8mb
2) High Definition television was released
3) All Digital Simulcast was launched.
4) The nations largest and most free OnDemand service was launched.
5) Longer customer service/appointment hours were put in place.
6) Better telephone service, more available telephone lines, unlimited calling plans were introduced.\
7) Less system outtages - HSI speeds are steady almost 100% of the time.
8) The DVR was introduced. Something that TWC had already had out for 2 years while AT&T was running our system.
9) More channels were added to the line up, something AT&T could give a rats butt about.
10) AT&T (aka American Thieves and Thugs) was no longer the provider - best of all. I guess you can ask those in SBC land how the AT&T tradition is treating them.
I can't think of what else were we screwed with..... but if I can, I will be sure to post it.
Depending on where you are, you will have good and bad. Some systems are well built, like ours, while others are not and people have problems. If the infrustructure of the adelphia system is bad, you will most likely continue to have bad service.. same with good systems. Comcast generally will upgrade systems where need be especially if they must in order to bring them on line with the rest of the networks. | |

| Re: Goodbye Comcast! I agree with fiberguy when comcast came in after AT&T they did nothing but completely improve my area 500%. They redid all the major lines in my county which gave us hsi, hd, on demand, more digital cables channels, better reliability, and a better picture. Now apparently some comcast customers is going to time warner and thats my area. Dont know how well thats going to work out, since I am very pleased with comcast. | |
