WTF Comcast - Page 2

I've had DirecTV, Comcast, and currently have ATT UVerse. So far, the UVerse blows everything else away. Easy sign up, a technician who knew what the hell he was doing, and a very competitive price, especially when comtared to DirecTV. So, if your area supports it (fiber required), I would recommend ATT.

Had Comcast in Jersey and Time Warner now. I hate both of them equally. I want something cheap that doesn't suck, but Uverse isn't available here..

Try Suddenlink and then talk to me about suck! No On Demand service period and they just recently got to the point where they have some decent HD channels. Their modem goes out periodically and has to be reset... Channels change super slow and you have to wait 5 minutes for the box to "warm up" the hard drive EVERY time you turn your TV on even though the box is never turned off. At 3 am exactly the picture freezes EVERY night if you are watching a recorded program. I had to drop my second DVR because if both boxes were recording, my internet would slow down to nothing!

I've got u-verse. It was a great deal during the introductory 1st year pricing. Since that wore out, our bill has more than doubled. Great service, but I'm not so sure it's worth the money. We still have it, but I bitch when I get the bill every month

U verse was great when the prices were low. That was just to get "in the door". Now tt its established itself. Its pricing is even worse than comcast. Why in the fuck do these companies think its ok to pay $200 a month for this shit? Oh wait I know.

Cause we keep doing it.

Fuck me. Its bs. Motherfuckers!

biggest thing you have to remember is if there is only one provider in the area then you are stuck and they know you are, so you will pay to get what you need. As soon as there is more than one provider in your area then threaten to jump over to the other team and they will suddenly become your best friend giving you the best deal ever. Doesn't matter if its Comcast, Time Warner, Wide Open West (WOW), AT&T, whoever.

And dems da facts, Jack
