Comcast and Big Ten Network
I feel your pain! Just finished a frustrating call with Comcast. This is another instance of a network negotiating for more money from providers. ABC and Fox were blocked out by another provider not too long ago. This is not totally Comcast's fault (which hurts for me to admit) but is also the BTN's desire for more money.
As of now, they are still in negotiations so I'm not giving up hope yet. It will cost us $10/month for the remainder of our contract if we leave in August. They claim that we are getting the BTN through an add-on package so it isn't part of the contract which frees them from the liability of changing our contract. If this is important to anyone looking to begin service with Comcast, be warned.
One way or another, we Buckeyes will be watching the BTN as our beloved team marches on to another wonderful season. Go Bucks!!!!!
