Might actually have to consider a switch from Comcast once this happens.

Digital Starter Package with HBO, HD-DVR
6 MB High Speed Internet Unlimited Phone $99. That's just hard to beat.

So they'll do that $99 for current customers? I need to get on a better package than I'm on now.

they only do it for new customers or those that want to upgrade from just having regular cable. But I don't mind calling 10 times and on the 10th time, I
got someone who for some reason said I could get the deal. I have a sick infatuation with getting the best deal Comcast has. 8dog can attest to that.

All I really need is Saints and college sports which comcast provides. Everything else is gravy.

I have every channel they have to offer which includes new extra sports programming in the 700's including some channels solely devoted to college. I know
satellites already had this. They have about 50 HD channels which is a good number for me because the other shit that isn't I dont watch anyway. And my
only quip with Comcast is being resolved this year in that they will have NFL network in time for the season. Internet is way better via comcast that DSL so
that's a win.

having to call them every month to remind them you are on the $99 plan, not the $170 one like they are billing you for. Or at least that's how it was with
me. Have they gone back to the old dvr/guide format they had or are they still stuck on that ugly ass 1980s looking shit they rolled out last year?

Was saying that was the only problem I had with Comcast across the board | #13 | ||

Posts: 819 07/02/09 07:47 AM |
Before I had the sports programming, I had all digital channels and HD channels except for that, because I got the package before those were offered. It
pissed me off that I didn't have NFLHD in my HD programming when I had it while in Starkville for nothing extra.
It's all good now. And the people that do not have the sports programming will get NFL before the season starts |

I still don't understand the switch. I still remember reading in the CL that they were going to move back to a guide more similar to the old (better) one.
Of course that was never going to happen. They just did it to keep people like me from calling them up and chewing them out over it. No idea why they did
that. I can only guess it was cheaper for them.
Just thinking about that damn guide makes me want to switch to satellite. |

The reason they switched was because they were using Time Warner's Guide.
