We got caught in the transition to Comcast. We were told we were "grandfathered" and there would be no charge for access to TV.net and the T time system. Not a word about it only lasting till 6/09.

My opinion: TV made a deal with Comcast. TV .net is owned/operated by TV. The T time system is part of TV. It is an issue of TV....for TV...by TV...et al.

I will NOT pay an additional $$ to any provider for an amenity of TV.

There are so many changes in TV management they can play hide the facts till the buffalo come home!!

I am in the process of dumping Comcast.They have old non digital technology technology with band aids to provide some HD programming. They have consistant pricing increases with no up grade of performance for the same old same old technology. Yes someday they will get to fiber optic....who knows when. They are one of the last to make the conversion.

I am switching to Dis Network this month. I have already gone to Verizon's air card for high speed internet. I tried their air card for the last month and unless you are a major download/upload freak for music and video streaming, there is hardly a noticeable difference. The air card is $59 per month for 5 gig per month....most people will never ever even hit one gig. Comcast high speed internet is $45 per month and rising. The Dish net work programming...all digital...substantially more HD programming.....$78 per month. At the end of the switch I will be paying $10-15 less per month than Comcast. I will use the phone for T times it is no big deal and it is free.

Plus I can take the Dish Network box to our lake home and use it there for no additional charge so I get to use one provider for both locations. Another almost $60 per month savings.

Plus with the Dish Network promotions currently available, the monthly fee is reduced by $35 per month for 6 months. Another almost $500 savings over the 6 month period.

Why would one stay with Comcast or TV.net??? For the $$$ one wouldn't and I am not.

When it is time to call Comcast and cancel they will do some real strange things price wise to keep the account. My answer....too late.

Until another cable provider comes to town, we are hamstrung and held at bay by Comcast....just like TV. That will change when the upcoming fiber optic capability is attained by the phone companies. Then watch what Comcast does to TRY to be competitive.

I find it quite interesting that friends and family who live on the fringe of TV where they have acces to Brighthouse Cable....most choose Brighthouse VS Comcast.....they have better technology. And I wonder why they are not (allowed) in TV.

I will soon have better programming....the flexibiloity of a second location for no additional cost. It is a no brainer. The other alternative is Direct TV....it boils down to a matter of choice....get it...a choice....which one does not have with TV or Comcast.

Asta la vista Comcast and TV and money in my pocket!!!! No contest!!
