Ive had both Comcast and now currently SBC DSL. IMO, Comcast can shove all their services up their ***. They are expensive and not much better. The internet was fast, granted, but I cant tell a difference between my then comcast and my now DSL. Same at my moms. No difference after she switched. Plus I only pay $20 a month. Its cheap and fast.

For about 2 years i had free cable tv, but then they caught on. I ordered comcast internet service and all you do is get a splitter from that same line and send it throughout your house. but it is expensive, im at like 40 something for internet alone.

they caught on and locked up the box so i couldnt split it from the outside line. I could always split it from inside but i now have DVR+ HD so i can't. Good luck.

If you do get comcast make sure you check your bandwidth. For a while i wasnt getting the best speed. And always call if it goes out cause they'll credit your account.

Good luck

Yea i ordered it while i had free cable, but i disconnected the cable at the source before they came, so they wouldnt see what i was doing, they didnt lock up the box and they even made it simple for me by leaving an open splitter. They might be a lil smarter now, but then again probably not.

I've been using SBC for years now without a problem. Not sure what I pay. I also have a Verizon Aircard from work. It's almost as fast as my DSL in metro areas

Comcast uses an inline filter if you have internet and don't use their cable service. Just find the filter and you get your tv back.
