Cable & Internet???

What do all you non-comcast people have??

Im sick of Comcast's shitty over priced service...

Re: Cable & Internet???

You don't want Dish internet. You can try SBC but I think you'll be back to Comcast.

I have WOW... It still costs 89 a month for basic cable, internet, and phone... Comcast was 99 plus 54 install, and they said their price was only good for a year.


With out phone I pay 73 a month with WOW...

Re: Cable & Internet???

I don't know what I pay, I just pay the damn bills when they come. The only one's I pay attention to are my credit card bills (only have two of those). But I use WOW cable, but not their phone service. For the phone I changed from SBC phone and internet to Talk America Phone and internet. It was cheaper than SBC and the service is very decent especially since it's cheaper.

Damn. I pay $86 a month for internet and cable with HBO. They gave me the DVR box, but that is pretty much standard with anyone. I was talking with folks at work about this **** yesterday. They said to call Comcast and tell them that you are going to leave. You actually have to say "I am going to leave and go with another company" and they have special rates they can hook you up with. What does it hurt to try?

Ive done that.. And it all depends on who you talk to.. If you get someone stupid at Comcast, then it works.. I tried that, and it just happened I got soemone who knew their **** and waht the compeitors had for the lower prices and that their products are not on the smae level as comcast.. This is talking about Internet of course, and comparing the different levels of WOW to Comcast.. WoW always likes to talk about their great internet prices, but then they are always referring to their lower end package.. I think they now train the comcast people to understand that..
