Re: WOW's Website Re-Design

Then after the 6 month promo you will end up paying much more than you did with WOW and still be stuck with poor quality Comcast tv service and their internet service. Call up WOW, I bet they will match that price and probably even upgrade you to ultra. They did for me a while ago.

After the 6 month promo they will match WOW when I ask Comcast to switch.. I would rather have digital cable, and better service (WOW only has 2 Michigan techs which go to homes!!).

Um, how could that possibly be correct? I know for a fact that they have more than 2 techs...

I'm just saying that when we had to have a tech come to our house, it took them a week to schedule.. the excuse was "we only have 2 Michigan techs"

Re: WOW's Website Re-Design

I've had techs out to my house more than twice, and I've always had different guys. So the person that told you that was either joking, or just stupid.

 I would rather have satellite tv (which I do)then digital cable. It's waaay better. My one brother has Comcast digital (WOW's not available) and my other brother in Naperville has WOW digital cable and neither comes close to being as good as satellite when it comes to watching tv. Now for broadband of course I have WOW ultra.

Satellite is too expensive, and I don't like a dish hanging off my house.

Re: WOW's Website Re-Design

Satellite cost no more then digital cable (probably even cheaper)and the quality is 2nd to none. My dish is strapped to my chimney and not even noticable. Stick with your crappy cable tv It's your loss.

My WOW service looks identical to my two neighbors sat service, one has Dish the other DirecTV. And yes, sat can be more expensive than cable. For me with 5 tv, one being HD it will cost me total between the sat service and the non-tv rate increase for WOW over $30 more a month, for the same services.

Re: WOW's Website Re-Design

Digital cable isn't even all digital. Only some of the channels are digital. With satellite every channel is digital. There is no comparrison with the picture quality. If you think it's just as clear you need glasses.

Re: WOW's Website Re-Design

Even though we are off topic. I know exactly what I see, and have perfect eyes. You have no idea what you are even talking about. Almost every signal feed that is sent to WOW, Comcast or any sat provider is still ANALOG. The sat companies just digitally compress them, which in turn lowers the quality of the station. A good analog feed will ALWAYS be better than a digitally compressed picture(this does not include HDTV feeds).

Re: WOW's Website Re-Design

Of course a clean, uncompressed signal is going to be better than a compressed digital one. But when the analog signal is sent to your house over the cable, it loses quality. From your posts on this topic, it sounds like you've just got the worlds most perfect cable plant, because I can tell you that I've never seen a perfectly clean analog cable signal. You come to my house and put DirecTV side by side with cable (WOW or Comcast), and DirecTV easily wins.

Re: WOW's Website Re-Design

I have seen the sat companies and I am not impressed with their PQ. They do not look any better than WOW's signal, they are better than Comcast's signal. I am not going to continue with this subject, we are beating a dead horse. You and a few other here like sat, that fine for you, cable is cheaper by a long shot for me and looks fine I am sticking with it. We are now way too far off topic.

I know a lot more then you think imrf and cables picture quality and prices suck. I'm done with you on this subject. Enjoy your cable tv. You must like that tv show about the 70's cuz your still living it.

Finally. You pay for what you want, and I will pay for what I want.

Too expensive? $39.99 per month with no tax or franchise fee is not what I'd consider too expensive.

Incorrect. I have 10 buddies who work for WOW doing both installs and service calls, all live in MI.

You honestly think that switching to Comcast is going to yield better service. OK. But I would call WOW first and have them price match Comcast's promo. With Comcast after your promo is over, they will not price match competition right away, they have a 6 month wait period before they will price match after a promo.

BTW, WOW digital basic plus Ultra is $87.99 a month, Comcast on their digital promo plus Home Networking(to match downstream) will cost more than that during the promo, then will add another $20 a month after the promo.
