Your best time to call about NFL Ticket would be in May or early June, it usually shows up on the July bill and you'll have 6 payments. Once you've been with them, it automatically renews the next season. So I usually call in June and say, cancel my NFL Ticket. Then they will start cutting better deals to keep you. I'll usually wait until August because they start to lower the prices even more. The best is wait until week 2 of the season. Week 1 is free to everyone, so you won't lose that. Week 2 around Sept 15th they will give the best deal.

If you have free NFL ticket because of a move, you were too late for this season since you only got one game. You should get it next season. You can negotiate with these people all the time, if you get someone who doesn't deal, hang up and call back, someone else can be completely different. Their reps are all over the country and I believe some work from home. They have always discounted my bill one way or another.

Other than this Wesh 2 deal, they are much more reliable service. The weather is usually only summer related and that when reruns are on, you can always play stuff you have recorded on your DVR. My DVR holds 1,000 hours, I have to delete movies before I can even watch them because I have too much stuff recorded. You also can go to the back-up or basic channel, such as TNTHD, then switch to regular TNT, the non-HD version most times will come in during the rain unless it's a monsoon.
I've sang Comcast's praises every chance I get. There's a lot of Comcast bashing on this site, but I couldn't be more pleased with their tv, internet and customer service. I had a tech go out of their way on the phone to help me resolve a router issue, to include calling me back an hour later to verify the results. When I went to the customer service center on 27/441 a few months ago to exchange the router, the staff was courteous and efficient, and the whole process took less than 10 minutes.
