Comcast
Last week I called comcast and told them I was getting a divorce and need to change the cable into my name (it was in my wifes). Because I am a "new customer" they bumped my internet connection up 2mb, gave me more channels, A cable box with HD outputs, and cut 30 bucks a month on my cable bill for the next few months.
Feels great to stick it to them for a change ... oh wait.. i am still getting screwed.

With Iprovo (Iveracity / MStar) Comcast has had to lower it's prices a lot. I just switched from Iveractiy to Mstar. It's cheaper and has 15 megabits instead of 10.

P.S. I didn't know you were going through a divorce. I'm sorry to hear that.

I am not getting a divorce, I was just sick of paying comcast $110+ every month. I know its dishonest, I do not like to lie at all but i really don't like comcast support/service or their overall product.
Discgo, I am so jealous of your connection! Gaming sucks on comcast the upload speeds are just a joke.
Last year I was told Utopia would be in my area "in a month" but now its not going to be until late fall '07

Me too. I get up to 15 kbps but to get 15 I have to go straight modem to pc. Not that you guys probably really care but I have 3 modems with cords going all around the outside of my house (hooked up to xboxes all over my house for streaming video). I have an FTP server for my family, and I have a lot of bandwidth going to bit torrents."My heart shall cry out for Moab..." Isaiah 15:5

Our old cable company was just bought out by Comcast. Nothing new.

I still have dial-up at home. we get like 26 kbps. I take a shower, mow the lawn, vacuum the house, cook dinner, etc. everytime I go to a new page. We dont use it that much at home so I cant bring myself to upgrade. We only pay $10 a month for internet and email.
The man thong is wrong.
