Mark, that's fantastic.
I haven't had a problem with Comcast, but they do suck. Time Warner was much better.
Yes, Comcast advertises free HD, but you have to pay for stuff monthly, so I'm not sure how they get by offering the free stuff.
I had signed up for ATT U-Verse. They had called me several times, and I'd done a little research, so one night this young guy comes buy selling U-verse subscriptions. I sign up with him, the process took easy 2 hours out on my front porch and over his cell phone.
When I got DSL installed (a long time ago), the guy said that I was really close to the local office. When the U-Verse install guy showed up, he couldn't get it to work. So he called the guy with the special tool that he didn't have. That guy showed up and said that I was 500 or a 1000 (I can't remember) feet too far away for U-Verse to work. My wife keeps asking me about moving over to U-Verse, but there's no way in hell that I'm going to go through the 2 hour sign up process until they send the guy out with the tool and check my house. Maybe this time I should make the wife go through the sign up process and wait around for them.
My DSL is rock solid and is probably 10-11 years old running on the original modem. I'd rather not change a thing.
