A Maelstrom Of Comcast Discontent

Within minutes of mailing the SPOTLIGHT last week Comcast subscribers, and former subscribers, feeling oppressed and ripped off, sent in emails venting similar frustrations to my own.
Terri M. - "It's the fine print (that frustrates me)."
Liu S. - "My bill gets HIGHER and HIGHER each month."
Steven B. - "I can't stand Comcast but they're the only game in town when it comes to digital cable and screaming fast internet."
Julie W. - "Comcast really doesn't care, about their customers."
Annette F. - "This is exactly why I switched from Comcast to DirecTV and have never looked back."
Bill P. " - "(Comcast) doesn't seem to care if we change services even though we have been with them for several years."
Silver Civic - "They don't let you know before they jack you up"

My sentiments exactly. 66% of all respondents Don't Like Comcast; 17% Like Comcast; and 17% Like Direct TV. When shopping for service ask for a TWO YEAR QUOTE TOTAL, on everything you want, including number of rooms you want service, number of DVR's, and the programming package you want to end up with (presumably after all the specials have expired). It's the only way to compare pricing. In conclusion I've decided to see SPRINT for a USB SATELITE modem ($70 a month) and call DIRECT TV and take it for a test drive, right after the WINTER OLYMPICS in HI-DEF from Comcast, breathtaking.
