Why? I already have U-Verse for phone and broadband. Adding TV will be
$50 a month for 12 months and that gives me all the channels that I had
to pay extra for to get Comcast's "Preferred" tier at $90 a month
(non-promo). U-Verse here is run by a lot of the old PacBell folks who
are easy to work with. Your mileage may vary.

I assure you you will bitterly regret switching form Comcast to U-Verse.

I'm trying to decide what to do when dropping Comcast. I didn't get
to it this week and putting it off until next Tuesday may spare me a
line at the Comcast office when I need to return the DVR. Thing is
that renting the few shows off VUDU or Amazon that I would have
watched will cost me about as much as getting the promo from U-Verse
TV. There's a year contract with U-Verse, none with Astound but they
aren't yet on my street. Watching only streaming is iffy because
U-Verse might be throttling Netflix but they don't seem to throttle
VUDU, Amazon nor the free sponsor supported apps like Crackle. The
latter has some good original 22 minute shows and you only have to put
up with 30 second ads not 3 minutes like TV.
Otherwise been busy on another software project which is about
finished. This one was on MonoDevelop for Linux and Xamarin for
Windows in C#. I like C# better than Java is it has more "common
sense" to the API than Java. I can also do Android and iPhone apps
with it.
I also just finished selling a house that my relatives lived in (and
paid for). Boy, was there a lot of paperwork for that.
Hence I haven't had much time to pay attention to the badminton games.

So, what's the difference? Well, they serve you dinner in your seat.
And the seat is wider, a feature I have blessedly had no need for
so far, not having qualified as "wide-body" yet. :-) And if you ask
for a second 25cl bottle of good Spanish wine with your meal,
they just bring it, no questions asked.
Oh. And when you log in to the WiFi, they don't ask you for a
password, which they do on "lesser" class tickets.
Other than that, no difference. Not worth the price differential.
Just sayin', if you're ever traveling via Thalys.
Besides, I like the people I meet who travel Second Class far
more than the ones I meet who travel First Class.
And that's the news from this end. How are you people who
seem to live for "getting" the people you don't like doing?
