Here in the Lancaster PA area, the cable bill is going up again, for the secound time in ONE YEAR! The rates went up over 15% just in the past year. The rate increases have happened now once a year for the past 11, but now it is twice this year alone. Keep up the good work comtrash, I see a sudden influx of customers heading for satalite, welcome aboard.

Here, my Comcast cable bill has remained steady for about two
years, now. My rent, on the other hand, just went up 10 percent. :shrug:

Comcast is pushing analog viewers to digital tiers so they'll have room for HD. In my area they moved CSPAN1 & CSPAN2 to digital. ba.broadcast is my source.

After years and years of Comcrap and their rate hikes EVERY January, I had enough a few years ago, when I went to D*. It is seriously rediculous, even their "digital" that can't hold a candle to D*'s picture quality and sound. They bullied people in Sac to go to "digital" or pay through the nose for 70 channels of analog! My parents were paying $58 a month on ONE tv for analog, no converter box, just a line connected to the back of the TV, I switched them to D* earlier this year after 20 years of cable in Sac.

In my area Comcast gave a very good basic tier at a fair price. Summer 2006 they announced the line-up for that tier would be substantially reduced but the price would remain the same. Late December they finally put a filter in my drop. I would have to pay one way or another to get back what I had, so I returned to D* after a several year hiatus and got FIOS internet and phone (missed having a choice from them for TV by 2 weeks).

Yeah I have friends in Harrisburg and Lebanon (two different Comcast stations) and letters were received last week that their rates are going up another 5%. Yes indeed, Comcastic! :lol:

--- CHASAlas, no special dispensation from Comcast, but I do get a break on the
price of my generic prescriptions from Wal*Mart! :p

I hope no one construes my comments about my particular local Comcast
franchise to represent the company nationally. I have made it plain that I
only speak to my experience with the local Comcast. Management here
was carried over from Adelphia, which had built and run a first-rate shop.

I know it is de rigeur around here to knock cable in general and Comcast
in particular, and perhaps justifiably so, but I believe in being fair and
giving praise when praise is due.
