Replying To:
Comcast's mode of operation (none / 0) (#20)
by Anonymous User on Mon Mar 10, 2008 at 10:55:42 AM PDT

I am not a Comcast customer.  However I receive at least 2 snail mail offers a week to become one.  To me, Comcast appears to use deceptive advertising.  To attempt to figure out the real price of their service, not only does one have to read the fine print, but is required to do math too.  They are constantly saying they are more reliable than satellite, especially during storms.  I can remember  perhaps 3 times in 5 years where my service was interrupted for all of 5 seconds when a lightning strike occurred in the signal path.  I've had friends tell me their cable goes down regularly for hours or sometimes days at a time.
Bottom line:  I think they are the sleaze of the content providers.  I can't help but wonder how much cheaper their prices would be if they only sent junk mail to me once a quarter or so...
