I have Comcast for both business (at 2 locations) and for personal home use.
To clarify, I only use Comcast for data, and I am reticent to call it an Internet Service Provider.
Their business class service becomes saturated at the same time each day. They cannot guarantee any upload capacity. Clients are very hesistant to pay your hourly rate onsite while you wait for the Comcast guy to show up, so you can tell him to check the signal at the tap and run a new drop and new ground block and check every coax connection and splice (which should have been done during the original install).
I do not watch ESPN or Nickelodeon, but you could probably spend less using medication to zombify yourself.
Also, I was at a friend's house this Easter and was watching some Comcast using their DVR channel guide, and guess what? The channel guide now has banner ads on each page of the channel listings.
You pay to rent a DVR that has banner ads? WTF?
Is this what Stockholm Syndrome looks like?

- chopsueyar 16y ago[UPDATE] I forgot to mention, one of my clients had 'inadvertently' agreed to a 4-year Comcast business agreement with a $4,000 termination fee...and the guy next door has FioS (they won't write any contract for longer than 2 years), so yeah, fuck Comcast.
- fragmede 16y agoNot to mention the set-top-boxes also show all the premium channels, and not just channels you pay for. They're shooting for the up-sell (or their backend is just that antiquated), but it's clear there exists a conflict of interest that won't result in better boxes from your cable-tv provider.
