1 edit | Re: No Thanks DirecTV and Dish aren't doing much to keep the cable prices low. DirecTV, and their HD offering (at 10.99 for 4 HD channels) is actually MORE expensive than the 5 premium HD channels we get for $6.95/mo on TWC here (we have 17 available).
And TWC just raised their prices for the 2nd time this year. I don't really see the Bells and their video services doing a lot for cable's price increases. | |

| Re: No Thanks I will try anything but Comcast cable who since merging with AT&T media has continually asked for rate hikes here in Detroit under the guise of keeping the network state of the art. They had to spend very little money on the AT&T network because it was AT&T/TCI cable who developed the on demand system Comcast is rolling out. I used it back when I was in College in East Lansing where TCI installed one of the first Fiber cable systems in the country as a test bed for a host of network services. If SBC can offer more for less more power to them just like Dish and Direct TV who is cheaper than Comcast Detroit. | |

| Re: No Thanks said by audiog  :I will try anything but Comcast cable who since merging with AT&T media... That was not a merger, but an outright purchase. AT&T sold their media operation to Comcast.
