Comcast customers
Umm if its for free HD, all channels, all movie channels with DVR, very good internet connection and phone, how is that not a good deal lmfao. some people are just cheap but then again time warner will rip you off, noone gets the same exact price if you ask me, they give customers diff prices alot.
I switched to uverse. We have every channel the 400 package with HD and the 3mb internet. It comes to $130 almost exactly.
Pro: Cheaper, Every box is an HD box, Soon to come out(about a month or two) is whole house DVR. You will be able to watch anything recorded on the main DVR box from any box in your house so no need to have more then one DVR. Better picture then comcast.
Con: I have read the best set up is to run everything as cat-5 network(I was able to wire my own house so no big deal), can only watch/record 2 HD and 2 SD channels total in the house(thats enough for me)
I have basic phone for like $15 a month and the only reason I have that is the security system. If I did not need it I would drop it as with uverse the DSL does not have to be connected to a phone line. So I guess for the total service we pay $145.

Well I just found out this evening, that Comcast just cut off the Their service to my in laws, because they say they haven't paid their bill..
My in laws argued with the tech showing the proof, with conformation numbers from paying online, and everything else you can think of..
My father in law is very methodical in keeping track of his bills..
anyways.. the tech had some yahoo from their office on the radio saying that if it it is their fault they will be back tomorrow to hook it back-up..
my in-laws said you might as well comeback tomorrow anyways cause your crap will be sitting on the curb for the trash man to pick it up.
They had their internet, phone, and cable through Comcast, and now are in the dark... no TV and no internet...
Needless to say they where pissed, and wont be going back to them..

I "borrowed" cable for a number of years and paid for high speed internet. Tv and internet for $55... That is about what everyone should pay for the service.. I pay for it now, only becuase I want HD for my movie room.. ...I'll still be "borrowing" it as the prices are outrageous for the service you get. I thought time warner cust servcie was bad...until comcast bought them out...they dont look so bad after dealing with comcast... Sad that it pretty much the norm now days..by the way..I pay 90..with tax for tv,Hd and internet..then another $30 total for vonage..so $120 for all 3 with taxes included..

I have comcast and they say I have all the premium sports channel. I have none of the channels and they been charging me $220 a month. Thats with all the movie channels and one dvr box. I'm calling them monday and if they dont refund the extra charges so long for comcast.
I have earthlink for a internet provider, can uverse still use earthlink for a provider, cause I have some programs setup with earthlink, that are not through comcast..
Plus I need to find out what I am paying now..
for internet and satellite TV..
I think it's right around 120 for both, and thats with 500 channels,
gonna double check though
I pay comcast just for their cable internet.

Yeah, we used to pay almost $200 a month for the Comcast/Time Warner/You Name It companies when we lived in the DFW area.
Now that we live in Terrell, we pay $82 a month with Suddenlink. Page loads at about 6mb, file downloads at about 1mb. Full HD cable too. No phone though. Don't need it, my wife and I couldn't justify each of us having a cell phone and "needing" a land line.

I'm paying ~$180/month for my package with Comcast. I'd love to check out AT&T Uverse, but it's not available in my area...neither is Verizon Fios. So it's either Comcast or bust for right now.

You are SO getting ripped off.
I pay 74 bucks for 2 DVR's ALL the movie channels you mentioned and a miriad of Sat Music channels. If I wanted the HD it would be 10.00 more a month... So your paying MORE then twice what I would if I had the HD. Might want to re-think the great deal you think you are getting.
I pay 34 dollars a month from Windstream to get phone and DSL, so all the bills combined I pay 108.00 including my taxes and I don't have a contract.
Comcast is the biggest rip off and their customer service sucks donkey a$$ as the guy who started this thread can attest to.
My suggestion, do your research and don't be afraid to haggle with them about pricing... you might get a better deal then what I have.
Good luck to you!
