I bought a house and moved ~4 miles south of my old townhouse. I had AT&T uVerse at my old place, had a TON of channels (all the premiums, 200 something digital channels, etc) plus internet for about $100 a month. I have Comcast now, and there's only ~ 100 digital cable channels, less than 30 HD channels, and only have HBO and it's $89.00 + 19.99 for internet, winds up being about $130 a month. I don't even have Fox News on Comcrap. I'm jealous at all the channels satellite has, but refuse to have to pay for my equipment. So I'm stuck. I miss uVerse, but it's not available here.

*MY* internet special never runs out. I just ask to be transferred to the cancellation department and they kiss my ass. And why not? If they're willing to sell their services at a cheaper price with a bit of strong arming - so be it. |
Trust me - that's what made me switch to AT&T the first time. My internet went down and they told me it was going to be 6 days before it was back. I was like....Well, bye. |
You signed at least a year contract. |
Nope...month to month. |
The Comcast Internet installers are the worst idiots I have ever come in contact with. For every installer who knows what he's doing, 10 are idiots. I know a guy who works at Comcast and he says the installers are contractors and not Comcast employees, which is why they do such a crappy job. Great excuse.  |

normally on a new install of a satellite system you dont have to pay for new equipment. just order everything you think you will want now instead of upgrading later. thats what i did and it hurt. lol. but yeah when i got my satellite i didn't have to buy any equipment at all. so you should be ok especially if you go thru att for your satellite. i have all my stuff packaged, landline, dsl, all the regular dish channels plus hd, dvr and stars/encore and its 180 a month including tax. |
| comcast doesnt make you sign year contracts, thats the satellite company. If you ever have a problem and they say it will take days to get to you go to www.comcastmustdie.com and post a gripe with your account number, they watch that site like a hawk and before you know it you will have a comcast crew descend on your house to fix the issue. |

Check again, the $19.95 internet is usually when you sign up for an agreement. |
