LOL, I
want your cable company. Ours would always go out here at least once a week,
usually for almost 2 hours. I always asked them if I got a discount off my cable
bill when it was out and they always said no. Which really isn't fair. I mean if
your electricity goes out, you aren't using it, therefore don't have to pay for
it, same goes for phone (at least on long distance charges) and water. But your
cable goes out, you can't use it, can't watch it but are still paying for it. A
few times we did get a discount on it. We had a bad snow storm once and it was
out for nearly 2 weeks and they took $3 off the bill.
Our cable has never gone
out.
Depends on your locale, the only
time you don't pay a installation charge here or Louisiana either for that
matter, is if their running a special. ROFL
They also have contracts btw,
especially if you have their internet service. I mentioned the
local cable place this morning offers a discounted rate on their highway
robbery for internet service with a *one year* commitment.
And while satellite might be
bothered by storms every blue moon, it doesn't go down once a week like cable.
lol

Comcast, cable can't compete with satellite period. Anyone who's had
satellite &digital cable, knows what a joke digital cable is. lol No
comparison, whatsoever.....
not true, yeah you may not get the 5,000 channels
satellite offers, ut seriously, how many Shopping channels do you
need? Cable, IMHO, is considerably better than satellite
1:
Lightning in the air doesn't screw with reception as it does
satellite
2: No contracts
3: no installation
fees
4: Free service calls with cable, Satellite charges for
just flipping a switch
5: and from *MY* experience digital cable
gives much clearer picture.
