All cable companies suck.
Here in my area when a channel becomes to popular they make it available only on digital.Hmmm.....SPEED,OLN and ESPN Classic to name a few.Wonder why they would do that?
If you get your phone,net and tv all together its a "deal".Wonder why they would offer that?
Service is free but its $65/hr to fish cable.Gotta love that "free" service.
Cable just plain sucks.

westport is also blessed with charter. bottom line is they do suck. The town has been trying to get rid of them for some time. we get more channels and pay less using direct tv. we do use charter for internet. when you do call them they do act like they do have your balls in there greedy little hands.

When my neighbors across the street moved, Comcast disconnected their cable AND mine. I called them, and they said no problem just be home between 8-12 the next day. WHAT!!!!? No thanks, you broke it without me you can fix it without me. They said sorry, but I had to be home. NO!! I'm not missing half a day's work for television. It's not worth that to me, cancel my subscription, I'll go back to a roof antenna. OK they said we'll be out tomorrow. They fixed it.  |

so how is comcast cable?
i am thinking of switching to them now...
before i had basic cable with Charter
and only was watching like 5 channels for almost ten bucks
per channel....and thats crazy money...
charter wants me to pay a reconnection fee
after i paid the bill... and i said - no friggan way
yesterday i tried calling them about an email problem i had
on a seperate account ok and after going thru the whole
press 4 press 1 press three crap 6 times and then
getting a buzy signal i said : this is totally CRAP.
now i'm planning on canceling my charter dsl and charter telephone
too and perhaps switching to verizon DSL and Vonage and hopefully
get my money's worth.

We're paying $45 a month for one step up from basic. They've been very reliable except for the one time. They just had to be shown that I wasn't over anyone's barrell. They offer broadband, but I go with dial-up still. Their local office is two doors down from me, but when I call, I get Texas or some place  Really only 1 problem in 20 years. |
