Comcast - Cable Company Reviews

So all this talk about digital started a discussion about Comcast versus my current provider of Dish Network through ATT.  An installation and upgrade of service while using Comcast Cable has taught me a lot about this service, that in many areas is the only one available. I am lucky, in my area I have choices. 

In order to upgrade your Comcast Cable you have to wait around until they can come to your home to install the new high definition cable box (sort of like a little black box).  Installation went great -- if you include having to take the whole day off work to wait, but that seems pretty...

I like Comcast quite a bit as a service provider.  While there are some cheaper options out there, Comcast has always performed like a champ for us.  I have their Triple Play Option - cable entertainment, phone/fax lines, Internet service, and I can do nothing but rave about the service they provide. 

I have two phone lines, one fax, and one personal with all of the options, and no long distance charges.  In the five plus years I have had Comcast, and living in an area with occasional really nasty weather, I have never had one service go down, and thats a lot more than I can say for my previous...

When Comacast bought out my old cable company, we couldn't get to our website any longer. No one in the area could. When we called to complain the tech support guy told me that "due to the location of our server, it was so far off the 'back-plane' of the internet, it couldn't be reached." When I told him we had no problems before Comacast..and we've been sending everyone to AOL to view our site. He hung up on me. When I told the gentleman that hosts our website about my conversation, he called Comacast and had the guy fired. If you can't dazzle me with briliance, don't try to baffle me with B.S....

I am presently using Comcast services for my home.  On the one hand, I like their internet service a lot because it's very fast, but on the other hand, I HATE Comcast's phone service.  The connection on my phone is always bouncing for some reason.  My family, and friends say it sounds like my phone is going in and out all of the time when they talk to me on the phone.  So while I will recommend them for their internet service, I give a big thumbs down for the home phone service.

I must rank myself in the league of thousands of other people who can get no reception at all without cable service.  If you want to watch the tube in the town where I live, (unless you have an antenna or want to climb up on the roof and attach a satellite dish), you are automatically a Comcast customer. 

I will say that in a lot of ways Comcast has done a good job, providing a good variety of channels and (in my own area at least) a not-unrespectable assortment of HD channels.  On those occasions when Comcast personnel came to my home, they were conscientious about being on time and did an...
