said by Clocker1000 :imrf is leaving WOW. In other news, hell hath frozen over & pigs really can fly!!  hahaha... I've said before price/performance(value) will win me. It's come to the point that WOW can't stay close enough to the competition. The crappy DVR guide, horrible VOD selection(and a lot of it is pay and very little free), lack of HD channels and so on help make my decision. The awesome customer service I got from them just can't make up for their shortcomings. |

| I haven't checked in here in a while but I am leaving also. I have sd with 3sd boxes, no HD, voip and 15/1 and my bill just went to 141. Comcast sales rep showsup Gives me hd_dvr, 2 sd boxes, voip 16/2 internet for 99 per month for a year and then the 2nd yr at 107. Called WOW and the best they could do was 115 per giving me the same thing, good for only 1 yr. I have been with them since 1997, back when they were Americast and I hate to leave, but when your can't compete on price or services, good bye. As far as crappy cust. service and wait times, thats what speaker phone is for. GL guys,if WOW ever catches up, a lot of us would come back. |

| Wow's tv service is mediocre at best but their internet is solid. I have dishnetwork for my tv and wow for my internet. I had comcast internet and I will say it was faster but then I came home from work one day last year and they had my modem shut down for using too much bandwidth. I ended up calling WOW the same day and canceling my Comcast. |

imrf - BTW what deal did you get. The same one?
My parents were offered:
HD - dvr (no mention of additional sd boxes)
HBO /Starz
Unlimited Phone
UP to 22meg Internet
$89.99 first year(+$3 modem rental) $109.99 2nd year
This seems to be the current promo. Can anyone confirm if they throw in additional boxes? Can you get it cheaper without the VOIP? |

| How can I sign up for this deal? Is there a special number to call? Also what HD channels do you get with this promo?
Finally for those who have the deal how you compare the HD picture quality to that of WOW (I am very happy with WOW's pic quality)...
Thanks,
-Leland |

said by The Joker :then downgraded. $30 off per month! lol Well duh.. when you downgrade you should save money. I could downgrade my WOW service and pay less if I wanted. But instead I can get the same services with Comcast, and get me HD channels, way more VOD and continual upgrades for everything and pay even less. Quit trolling. |

And we are giving other WOW members who may be considering the option to switch a bit of info in case they decide to. Even after my switch I still will recommend WOW to the people that I think will benefit from WOW.
What's worse is a kid who trolls here, who has no idea what he's talking about, posting useless comments.  |
