I'm on U-Verse now, Meh... All it is is glorified DSL. My family has the 'basic' package. For TV and whatnot the DVR setup is rather nice, but for internet it's just like regular DSL.

Re: Oh no: I'm switching to Comcast

I have comcast and have had them for about 6 or 7 years now. I would say overall they are very good. The customer service can be tricky as with any customer service, sometimes you get a person who knows what they are doing and sometimes you get tard after tard. The prices are very reasonable, I have extended basic with HBO, STARS and a DVR box plus the performance plus internet service all for $75 a month, the trick is, is to go in and ask them to give you a deal or you'll look elsewhere. Now I would have to say that the area I lived previously was plauged with cable & internet issues, then again it was a very older part of town, when I moved to a newer area I haven't had any issues as of yet. Hope this helps..

Re: Oh no: I'm switching to Comcast

TWC - Ah Roadrunner. How spoiled I was by having you when I was with my parents! Ah but with my first place of my own comes the first time I'll have to shop around.

Automatically, I searched long and hard to see if RoadRunner was available in Shreveport Louisiana area... Alas, I'm inconclusive. If RR is available- I'll buy it in a heartbeat. But so far the answer seems to be.. No?

BTW, Did I mention I'm JUST shopping for internet? I think I may never own cable television ever again. I'm seeing if I prefer it...

Also, paying for internet will already be breaking my wallet. So if it came to Internet or Television, I choose Internets.

Re: Oh no: I'm switching to Comcast

I have plain Verizon DSL, it's reliable and i have a decent connection even though the thing goes to server 5 states away before going out to the world. It's a hell of a lot better than the locals.

Unlikely. But it might go the way of @Home and ATT Cable. Ie. swallowed up by another company. If that company is Verizon, then expect Verizon to suck just as much after it happens.

9.5 megabit/s bi-directional. A 105 megabyte file was pushed to an FTP server in two minutes flat. And there are no blocked ports (home-based internet servers, woohoo!).

Talking Re: Oh no: I'm switching to Comcast

I have Comcast and don't have any problems with TV and never have had these many many years. I have internet too and have had very little problems. I am very satisfied.

When we had comcast we also had to do this. It was funny -- for the first three times. Now we have COX and the internet is much faster, and much cheaper.

@Kin3 we actually had Comcast when I was living in Mobile, Alabama. I hear Comcast has a digital cable monopoly on the city, I received this info from a pretty sketchy source though.
