Because You Suck. And We Hate You; Comcast Edition, Part III

Well, it seems I was right. Comcast is jacking up its rates again. But not by $4, by $6. They had the good taste to put the announcement in this month's bill, citing the "improvements we have made in the past year to bring even more choice, control and reliability to your existing home entertainment, Internet and home telephone services." (No mention of having to cover the costs of paying salaries to dead people. )

Yes, it is so much worth having to pay more money in order to have two more home shopping channels and another religious channel jammed down my throat.

"Control"? What the fuck are they thinking? Do they seriously mean that before they raised their rates, it was harder to switch the channels or turn the damn thing off?

I'm thinking that once Battlestar Galactica goes black next year, I may take the cable box back and tell them they can go fuck themselves. If I had a view towards the satellite orbits, I'd tell them that now. I sure wish more towns would do like Groton, CT did, where they let the local utility set up a cable operation to compete with Comcast.

I recently told two cable providers to go suck it. With digital HD there were literally 900 channels and nothing on. WTF do I need that shit for. So since October no TV. Anything I watch can be downloaded from the networks usually the next day for FREE!
