02 May 07 - 05:44 AM (#2041059) Subject: BS: Comcast customers From: Donuel Comcast (the monopoly cable company) has made more money than even our county and state legislature voted to allow. They owe an average customer about $200. They are currently telling people that they can have a free extra converter box for 18 months. After 18 months you are charged $8/mo This will gradually bring Comcast back to the upper limit of profit taking as prescribed by law. Imagine if every customer demanded cash instead. Lets see $200 X 3+ million customers... |

We have Cable One out here, with addtional options like Dish. Verizon also offers cable service. Why not ask your city council to change cable companies -- or to allow two to compete? |

Only the dish network will have all the baseball channels this year. Comcast in hindsight has said they will stream some baseball games on the internet. oh how kind of them. |

02 May 07 - 10:37 PM (#2041865) Subject: RE: BS: Comcast customers From: Greg B All of that is true. But I've had Comcast cable modem for half a decade and more now. In that time, I've had perhaps two outages of less than an hour each. And they've just kept upping the speed until now it has reached the point of actual insanity. |
