Yes, they are Major AH's; they owed me a credit but could only cut a check to Bob. They couldn't credit the account. Go figure. I keep asking them what part of "dead" don't they get? Oh well. I would probably have to switch to Comcast!

I don't know about Comcast but I hate Verizon. They are still looking for Bob no matter what I tell them. On a recent phone call to them regarding my e mail account, they were reluctant to talk to me because his name is STILL somehow connected to the account. I told the sh*thead to call Bob and let me know if he answers. I have quesions too.
these companies are morons when it comes to deceased people. I still get letters from verizon for my dad addressed to him asking for collection of his last bill. he passed almost 3 years ago!!! I send em back with his cemetary address written on them. Somehow they have never corrected the address and continually send them here with threats to report his credit as bad.

I don't know much about Comcast, but It appears they own the Versus channel that broadcasts the Tour de France every July. That channel has now been pulled from DirectTV in a dispute with Comcast, so I am wondering whether the Tour will be accessible next summer. I like DirectTV, because I can take the box along when travelling and receive a satellite signal with a disk installed in Colorado -- something I can't do with cable.

If you decide to dump Comcast and go with Direct TV satellite, ask if they still give $100 for customer referrals. Existing customer giving the referral and new customer may each get $100.

We did have direct TV years ago and when HD come on, we needed a new dish(or so we were told). Couldn't do it; surrounded by tall pines so we can't get the signal unless I cut trees - they are not mine. I don't think I could cut trees for that reason anyway. Thanks for the offer.
Also Satellite has trouble (or used to) during bad storms when a signal can't penetrate the cloud cover. I want my rabbit ears back.

I have DirecTV and have no problems. Live 1500 feet so very windy and no problems in storms either. Had to get a new dish when I got my HDTV, but I had been a customer long enough that they didn't charge me anything to install it and hook it up. I pay 69.99 per month for basic HD service plus half dozen local channels. Includes a DVR of course.
Have never had Comcast but I hate their commercials. Plus they send me mailings at my office, where I couldn't sign up if I wanted to.
