    MINET (Monmouth/Independence) dropped it after the 1st year in 2010/11 I think. "Price was too high and customer interest too low". :banghead:

    I don't know I've had a better personal experience with Comcast than I ever did with frontier....
    Calling Frontier and their customer service one every few days because my internet/tv goes out randomly for 45minutes at 7pm pst...
    they say
    "okay Sir we'll run a test on your line and get back to you in a couple days if we see a problem...."
    Then to find out 8 months later when I told them I was disconnecting and they asked why.
    "Sir I'm sorry I don't see here that a test has ever been ran on your line"
    Never go back to Frontier because of that.
    My only issue with Comcast is they tried to charge me 50$ for a truck to come setup my tv/internet when I bought a house.
    Not knowing I know exactly what their machines do because I used to work for Comcast...
    Comcast did however quickly take that 50$ charge off when I called them on it.

    We need FOX to buy the blazers next deal, and return the team to its people.


    Anybody?

    Wow really? Is that a teaser rate? Does it eventually go up like all of their "jack my price up" deals are? I'm paying $90 for the same thing... What channels do you get with that deal?

    Yes its only good for the first year. Then it goes up to $90/month for the second year. At the end of the contract I'll call Comcast and talk to customer loyalty to get it brought back down again as they always will.

    I just get 1-70 and a couple others like investigative discovery.

    Not having HD channels would drive me crazy.

    No HD Yikes! I'm glad for my DTV. They ain't perfect but I've been generally happy with them for 20 years.

    That's fair enough, blu Rays as well. I guess Netflix too...I retract my statement.

    But for television purposes, there's no point in having a nice TV for watching tv if you dont have HD.

    HD is worth the $10. Seriously, sports in HD is glorious.

    So you call them. Speak to "Customer Loyalty" and tell them that you're going to cancel?

    Yep, and tell them you can't afford cable at that price. You'll have to be out of contract with them for it to work. But they usually bring down the price handily. Play frontier or whoever against them too if possible

    Has to be the customer loyalty department though. The first people you talk to lie.

    I think I've had this package (digital economy) you're talking about. It doesn't even include CSNNW in SD. I'd happily pay $70 mnth for internet plus CSNNW in HD!

    I've always called them Cumcatch. Is that a tad extreme?
