Comcast

Pros: On-demand network and a decent number of channels.
Cons: Everything else. High prices, hidden fees, bait-and-switch billing, poor customer service.

COMCAST SUCKS Some call it the worst company ever and I don't disagree. SUBSCRIPTION COST AND FEES Unfortunately, cable television has developed into an oligopoly industry and is approaching monopoly status. Due to a severe lack of ...

Pros: Higher quality, lower cost per channel
Cons: Annual rate increase

If your cable system has been rebuilt (upgraded to 750Mhz) you probably have far more channels at a much lower cost per channel than ever before. You probably also can get Cable Modem service (I highly recommend) and Digital cable service, as well as...

Pros: Decent channel selection, um, hmmm. Nope that's about it.
Cons: Frequent outages and rate hikes. Unreliable customer service. Oh, and did I mention outages?

Here follows a somewhat tedious account of my personal experience with Comcast in the DFW market. I have tried to keep this as brief as possible, but with so many problems in such a short time, I feel compelled to spell it all out. The ...

Pros: Much faster connection than with dial-up
Cons: Price

Cable connection is much faster than traditional dial-up. Frustrated with how painfully slow downloads and even routine Web surfing was with the my old 56k modem, I asked if there was anything faster, and was told no. I would have to go to DSL or...

Pros: No contract.

Cons: Inadequate on-screen guide
DVR costs extra
Constant outages
Extremely pricey!

Switching from DISH Network to Comcast digital cable is like going from broadband Internet back to dial-up-- and paying more each month!! When I moved into a new city several months ago I made the mistake of switching from DISH to Comcast. The ...

Pros: You can get all your services bundled, good number of channels in basic HD service
Cons: Reps can be rude sometimes, equipment rental and fees a pain

When we moved several years ago, we started off with AT&T for our cable and phone service, but they didn't have high-speed internet access in our area, so we had to use a local company for internet access (Insight Communications). After a year or so of ...

Pros: I thought long and hard about this.  Answer: None
Cons: 15 words is not NEARLY enough to list them all.

Boy where do I begin.  My wife and I live in Houston, TX and originally got TimeWarner Roadrunner TV and Broadband service but then at some point they switched over to Comcast.  Things were good back then but then Comcast took over and ...

Pros: My cable rarely goes out, price is fair.
Cons: These people are incompetent clowns who screw everything up and then won't fix anything.

When I moved to Atlanta, I became a Comcast cable TV customer. The TV service is fine; it's reasonably priced and has always been very reliable. Their customer service, however, is absolutely horrific. They're a bunch of clowns. If you look up my other ...

Pros: NOTHING!!!
Cons: cut off my service to upgrade their system, lousy picture, fewer channels than satellite

You can change the name but the service still sucks!! Well actually I can't judge the service because my cable is always out!

When I moved to Maryland last year I signed up with Cable TV Montgomery because the anarchy known as our homeowners...

Pros: well, it's cable so you won't need a dish
Cons: customer service, unreliable techs, attitude problem

To start with, I am sure that after reading a handful of reviews here you get the idea ... Comcast has the worst customer service imagineable. So why would I add another review saying the same thing? Basically, because it’s the most unbelievable thing ...

Pros: LOTS of channels on digital cable
Cons: You pay through the nose to get them

Hello again, folks - it's time for another rant... I'm really going strong these days, so bear with me. Besides, if you are on hold with Comcast right now, you'll have PLENTY of time.

----------------------------------------------------------...

Pros: Great HD, when it works.
Cons: Clueless contractors who don't know HDTV. DVR can't hold a candle to TiVo.

I've been looking at the new http://www.tivo.com/2.0.boxdet ails.asp?box=series3HDDVR this morning, and drooling over it. However much I vastly prefer the TiVo interface, though, I'm not sure I'm prepared to shell out an extra $800 plus $13/mo on top o...

Pros: Nice clear picture, search function
Cons: cost too much

We went from the regular cable service to digital cable thinking we were getting a better deal. We were already paying $80 a month for normal cable, so what is a couple of bucks for digital? Well, they are both a rip off.

Why digital is...

Pros: Few Non-Premium channels not available by my Cable, has digital cable
Cons: poor service, high price

When I first moved to my new house, Comcast was our only choice of cable, so naturally we got it. We had it for three years before another cable company became available in our area.

During those three years, we had several service calls to...

Pros: Friendly Customer Service, Willingness to Compensate for Mistakes, On Demand, Cheap startup fees
Cons: Lack of appointments, Late/Lost technicians, higher monthly fee

I know a lot of people have had bad experiences with Comcast, and I am not denying that some areas may have a customer service problem. I am relating my own experience with the process of selecting a television service so that others see a more balanced ...
