    Comcast is the most hated company in the United States. I refuse to give them my money. If Google comes to Portland, even more people will dump Comcast. If we can't watch the games, their numbers will drop. Out of sight, out of mind.

    Yup. When I could just throw the game on, I would watch, but now I have to go searching for a stream. Sometimes I just skip it.

    On my powerline ethernet to the modem across the room, I get 18/12.

    If I plugged in directly, I'd get 128/10... but that's cumbersome and I really don't need that much. Just need the upload for streaming.

    Different scenario. Root would own the broadcast, own all the commercial inventory etc. With the Comcast deal, the Trail Blazers own the broadcast, they get the money from Comcast and the money from the commercials they sell to the companies we see during the games like Moda, Les Schwab, Standard TV, Wells Fargo, etc

    $2.00 per game if in a season package. That $7.00 a game bs they have for league pass I'd never do.

    I think $5/game is more than fair. That totals $410. Maybe offer a season package for $299.

    That's about half of what I pay Comcast for ayear's subscription. I don't get why people want it this way so badly.

    $150 for the season and I'd do it. Then pro rate it as the season goes on.

    Any more than that and they are comcasting it.
