Default Comcast users?
Just wondering how you like your service...We have Timewarner cable here in Houston and they got bought out by comcast...the switch is set to happen in June and I have been fairly happy with TW...I just want to know what the difference is, if any.

Comcast here on base has a monopoly, so I hate them. They don't care about providing good service, because they're the only option we have if we want cable/internet.

The only cable around here is Comcast; otherwise there is Satellite.

It's okay, no TV problems, but, yeah, the cost is ridiculous.....(and they keep begging for more!)

I have Comcast internet service, too, and when that kept going down for like two weeks, I called their dumbasses and 3 techs came out and said nothing was wrong. So after another week of up & down, I checked out the pole in the next door neighbor's backyard and found out that my cable was split off from a split off.............Grrrrrr!!

Finally, someone from Comcast, that didn't have a lazy agenda actually put my cable on the main port. No problems since, but the cost, oh did I mention the cost?? Way overpriced!

According to Comcast they aren't changing TW's prices "yet". I am sure they will raise them eventually, but it won't happen right away or all at once, because they fear a mass exodus to DirectTV (which actually has really good service in Texas, I've thought about it just for the NFL package).

If Comcast jacks with their prices too much, I will just switch to DTV and DSL. The new DSL lines they are offering in Houston are fast.

That wasn't DirectTV, that was DishNetwork. I've had DirectTV before and I actually really liked it.

I dunno, maybe. I didn't say we were going to do it. I am happy with TW/Comcast right now. But if the internet goes to shit, or the price jumps up too high, I am going to switch to something else.

Comcast = the wretched abortion of all cable companies.

Over priced, non-guaranteed speeds, non-guaranteed actual reliable service.

When I got it installed at my old apartment, two days later their servers went down for no apparent reason at all.

Three months into the apartment, the modem I was paying 3 bucks a month for simply quit working.

They're customer service is pathetic on the phone and in person. I went to turn in my Digital cable box and they tried to talk me into keeping the service if they gave me 10 bucks off for 3 months.

At 130 a month, I told them they're idiots and to cancel my digital subscription unless they're going to do better than that.

I love Comcast. Their cable is decent, but the digital is amazing. On Demand and all that shit rocks.
