| Re: Does it make Comcast too big said by gpancner  :Had DirecTV - hated it, and it cost more than Comcast. It is obvious that you have NOT had Direct - TV anytime soon. I was paying over $80 per month for COmcast for the channels I like to watch. Discovery channels, TLC, and others of the like.. I pay $45 per month to Direct TV for the same channels. I am not a movie channel subscriber and the 4 room setup I purchased was free.
So just tell me how it is more expensive to have Direct TV than Comcast??

DirecTV = $41.95/month
3 Additional Recievers = $14.97
Total (before tax.): $56.92/month
DirecTV DVR = $4.99/month
DirecTV HDTV = $10/month
DirecWay = $59.95/month with equipment purchased upfront ($300/average) or $99.95/month.
Comcast = $49/month
Comcast DVR = $5/month
Comcast Internet = $45/month
And to the irrelevance of all of this? There it is folks! Each person has their favorites, no need to compare services, value, etc. Personally, I like DirecTV, but I will be switching back to Cox when I move to Gloucester because DirecTV and Verizon Online DSL costs just about the same for Phone, DSL, and TV service. | |

Yeah comcast has unlimited free tv's but you get only basic cable on them you want hbo on all your tv's your paying for an extra box.
Dishnetwork I pay roughly $100 and get almost every channel they have to offer with 1 hdtv receiver and 3 normal receivers. Not to mention i get free hdtv package for 6 months from them. And when it goes away im still paying less then comcast in every aspect.
I only use comcast for cable internet and even that is debatable as to if I actually am using it.

| Comcast= 50ish a month plus 5 bucks a TV if you want any premium channels on them. Digital cable is cheaper than analog cable. Oh yeah thier internet service is among the worst I've seen out there for reliability. I've got friends on SBC and covad who have way more reliability than I do.
Normal sales strategy.
Both the customer and the seller walk away happy
Comcast Sales strategy.
Comcast uses thier position as a monopoly would and charges to the limit of what the customer is willing to pay then ontop of that doesn't provide the customer service that really should go along with that. | |
