generic enough that Comcast might avoid getting sued
over it, but then IANAL.

| Re: T-Mobile Should Sue Them said by supergirl :I thought the Parrot was owned by Johnny Depp? I will say I like the Geice Gekko better than the stupid Caveman commercials.  Wasn't Jimmy Buffett the original Margaritaville Parrot Head???
Maybe T-Mobile is SOL after all.

| Re: "HD" said by Mike :Comcast HD can be best described as this; Ever try to fit a loaf of bread in a can of sardines? It's possible, just compress the hell out of it. While you get the loaf of bread, it's a bit smashed. Nowhere near as compressed as the Dish's. | |

Which provider doesnt?
Honestly Comcast HD is pretty decent. They have a great selection of channels. My Cox HD is a JOKE. We just got On Demand not even 10 days ago.
Cox HD = 12 HD channels, about half of which are local channels which aren't even HD. SD + 2 black bars = HD???
Cox PPV is also crap. 13 PPV channels. Right now they have on the movie "Shooter," "Hot Fuzz," Howard Stern & 6 channels of porn for $30/hour.

| Wow. Talk about catering to everyones needs.
I guess they figure most of their customers are high anyway, eh?
Whats next Comcast? A sponsorship with Budweiser on a NASCAR racecar? I mean, you know, it would be a logical choice since many of us sit around drinking beer when we watch the race.
NOT!
The only thing scarier is they probably paid some consultant a bunch of money to come up with this.
Way to go, dogbert! | |

Hey, they deserve it. They've earned every bit of it. Just saying that most people here are always so serious about everything. Anything that is in the least bit pro government or slightly conservative is taken as a personal affront.
It's like no one or anything is any good unless the DSLR gods sanction it. That in itself makes me laugh.
Attack me personally all you want, but the truth is pretty self evident. | |

| Re: Wow. Not actually.
I couldn't care less about this site really. They could terminate my account and ban my IP/domain, whatever and it wouldn't make the least bit of difference to me. This place has no bearing on my life in the least bit.
That being said, I like coming here and kind of laughing at the people who are so offended at others earning more money than what they think is right, feeling like the big bad government is after poor little them, interpreting the law in all sorts of bizarre ways and then being offended when they're told they're wrong, etc.
It's funny. Almost like an inside joke that no one else other than a few gets.
So maybe, I guess, I would miss coming here to laugh at the silly me-too types that run amok here. | |

| The Comcast Slowskys Right now Comcast has their own Slowskys . . . Salisbury, Maryland and the surrounding area, including Parsonsburg. It seems there is a MAJOR issue affecting MANY customers with peak hour speed problems.
This is a nightly occurrence.
Anticipated time to resolve . . . "several weeks".
Comcast . . . pot, kettle, black.
