East Bridgewater, Mass. It is Comcast by any other name.

Just internet or TV as well? Phone?

If you've got their TV it's a good week to have it. Free On Demand of HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Skinamax.

If they gave you boxes for other TV in the house for free.. they aren't!! They charge $2 per box per month! How the heck did we go from free TV to paying hundreds?? Blows my mind!!

They all have their sucks! It's just amazing how these companies operate and we kind of just let them or they just don't really care or at least it seems. I'll tell you what when Comcast came to be down here in the Philly area .. I should have bought stock!!

That's what I pay and I consider it a total ripoff. On top of that, it started at $200, then 201 then 201.50 then 203 and on and on. When ever i call Cox and ask what the extra increase is for, since I didn't get anything different this month they say "it's taxes".

No boat, back in the suds.

It almost makes sense to switch service every couple years and go with whom ever has the best deal. We went from dish to now fios and I have to say we like fios.

comcast sucks! every month the bill goes up a little for some BS reason(taxes,fees) whatever they call it. the voulume always skips out so u have to pause to fix it. i dont have phone and no pay channels and pay almost 200bucks for expanded basic service. they have you by the balls. every town or city has only one carrier so no choice. been with them for 5 years and pay bill on time every month and they offer no deals to old customers, only new ones. ive called to see if they can give me some kind of deal to lower my bill and their answer is to cut half my channels out. let me say it again.COMCAST SUCKS!

Thats one of the reasons we went with Comcast. Two years from now we can go back to whomever.
