We (Comcast) have to pay for the programming and the each town has a "franchise fee" that they impose on us becuase we are not a necesity like the phone company (AT&T). I don't think satalite pays it either becuase they dont need to run lines on city property. Everyone wants their cut and we just pass those costs on to you. It sucks, I know but we are also a business that needs to make a proffit to expand and offer more services. We couldn't bring things to the customer like the Total Home DVR and 100 meg internet (coming soon) if we didn't make money on our products.

P.S. Thank you for the apology

I do kind of have to agree with him though, our comcast will go down for hours at a time sometimes. That's unacceptable in the middle of the day. It can cost big bucks when your daytrading from home and your internet goes out!!

Most utilities appear to have an "I don't give a shit attitude" as there is not enough competition in the market place.

#1!!!!!!!!! Comcast. I have antenna TV because I refuse to do business with them.


#2 Clear. Again, I have Clear because I refuse to do business with Comcast, but Clear is just as bad!

4. Microsoft - You have an inferior product to apple, but yet the world embraces you and that effects me personally in the IT field.
5. All major car dealerships - More money then they know what to do with, but still want more from me. I refuse, and get asked to leave.....blow me.

Rant off.
Numbers 1, 2 and 4 are right at the top of my list also.

I think Comcast's products are great, and their prices are high, but on par with the competition, but their customer service and sales departments just sucks ass!!!
