Comcast Sucks

[nokia123]

i use to have comcast, thank goodness at&t u-verse came out. I love them and i have no problem with them so far, way cheaper then comcast

I have Comcast too (unfortunately) and am more and more disappointed with them. Rate keeps going up, service and internet speed keeps going down. I've complained a lot and they have reduced the bill for 6 month periods and then, - BOOM - it reverts back to a very high one. Taxes on Internet providers like Comcast and mobile phones services are very high - ridiculously high, imo.

true very true, I remember when dvds first came out 15 to 20 bucks got you a high def(hi def back then) video with a movie, no previews, no info JUST A MOVIE. Since they have got more time on movies you have 20 minutes of previews, plus you have to what them.

I recall when Cable first came out. People bought cable service to NOT have commercials, as that is how it was. The money paid offset what they didn't earn from commercials. Now, even with the high cable bills you get 40 minutes show/ 20 minutes commercials average. The comical part is we still pay for this. It is amazing how once we get used to paying for a service that used to be free...we can't live without it.

Anyhow, just a rant basically. I have cable too.

Is my age showing now? Lol!

I really hate Comcast as well. I just don't get it. I have the basic phone/cabe/internet and it just seems to go up every month. $150/month is way too much for just basic service.

Take a look at OOMA. Pay $200 bucks and the phone is free for the rest of our life. I've had ooma for 11 months and I'm very happy with it.

I pay 145 for just cable and internet. I do not have a home phone. I have a basic cable package with Comcast. The internet is just the basic high speed internet. I was looking at my bill last month and the amount in taxes I am being charged is crazy. I do not understand how they can add taxes on things that do not even exist.

You don't HAVE to have internet. There's always dsl..

Not where I live. I did buy a modem the other day so I won't be paying comcast $5 a month for a modem.

No more TV for me

Not an option for some of us. I have to have it for school. DSL will not cut it around here. my mom talked my dad into making the change to save 50 bucks. A week into it she was complaining because the dsl speed was half what it was advertised to be. The guy who came out said the lines in our town are old and will not handle the higher speed. I made a call for my dad to see if insight(now comcast) would switch us back and what it would cost. The guy said I am sorry here your leaving( WE HAD LEFT) already. He said if you do not go switch I can give you a 100 credit off you next months bill. Come to find out they had never shut us off. mom set the date for the 1st of the following month when a new bill would become due. SO it was still on and took 5 minutes to switch back and I got us 100 bucks for nothing.

I have Comcast and I am ditching them in September. It seems every 6 months they increase the price of their service. I went from 100 to 145 dollars in the last 6 months. I have not added anything, but somehow they seem to keep raising the amount I have to pay.

I'm getting rid of cable and I actually have to pay $10 because someone has to come out to cap the cable line.

I don't want their product anymore and I have to pay--Ridiculous.

The worst part is I have to keep their internet because they're the only option other than slow satellite.

Just try to get Dish to come and and fix a problem, $15 bucks.

Alot of work to save $10 but I complained to them for the 5th time and they waved it....
