No, no, no, no, no, no, do not want. I already hate Time Warner, they bought out Insight and I've had problems ever since. I had Comcast when I lived elsewhere and they were totally unreliable.

*knock on wood*
I've had Comcast for 10 years & never really had an issue. So, what will Ted Turner do now?

What's the difference? It'll pretty much be the same sh*t, different toilet.

I use comcast for my internet because they have the fastest service. I use comcast for my home security, cuz I got a fantastic deal and now have wireless security cameras posted in and out of my house. But I WILL NOT switch to them for my television. Direc TV is more reliable, cheaper, better service and the NFL Ticket.

I love Time Warner, but it's not covered in my current area. I have Comcast when I'm down in Florida and it's not bad, I've never had any problems.

What's the difference? It'll pretty much be the same sh*t, different toilet. There's some concern that it could get worse. Neither company has an exemplary record of customer service and both have been steadily increasing prices for years. A lot of people are worried (and rightfully so) that Comcast will implement price increases to cover the cost of the premium they paid on TWC's shares. It could end up meaning very little, but it could also have some quite negative impacts. |
