 Posted: 11/15/05 - 22:19 Post subject: Thank you, ComCast!
MW, your company is better than DirectTV or Dish in service and prices right now, most definitely.!!!
We finally got TV again (we had DirectTV, and do haven't had ANY TV since Oct 23.) Fine with me, except for comic relief once in a while, but Larry loves his sports.
DirectTV no-showed for a bunch of our appointments and then told us they had no idea when they would be able to get out and fix it. They have strung us around and wasted our time for a while.
I called Comcast Saturday. They came out today. For the next 12 months, we have over 200 channels,including HBO's and Encore and IFC, video-on-demand, and all of the digital music. For two receivers it is 33.99 a month!!! That's one heck of a deal.
And, they hauled our stupid dish away. Apparently it is a special offer for former DirectTV cutomers.
I'm not going to use the little slogan because I think it is goofy too, but the service staff was very professional, courteous, and well-educated on the features. A very nice change from the DTV peeps.

Yes. But no wireless, which is what I want, dammit!
Actually, I got my news during the hurricane/power/TV outage because of my dial-up service which, since based out of Toledo, OH still functioned here. Anyone with DSL had to wait a week.
I still want wireless.
