i pay 21.99 a month for comcast basic cable, plus 7 dollars in taxes (lol) and use a blackbox to get every channel they offer in absolute perfect analog reception.
Is that legal? If it is where can I get on this deal?

i had their internet access and dropped down to just tv after putting up with 100-150kbit downloads consistently during the evenings. went to 6mbit/600kbit sbc dsl for 44.95 a month and its the badass of the crib right now. how many people got four t1's worth of downstream? speedtest gives me 5906mbit and i download a megabyte in 1.6 seconds.
Any chance you can give us more info on the type of blackbox you're using?Originally posted by: Samus

comcast analog reception here in the bay area is pretty decent. but duhh is talking about digital cable, so the quality isnt really controlled by the cable lines themselves since everything is digital and i highly doubt they'd be worse than directtv.

One of the tricks here at a college city is to get Limited Basic cable for $12/mo
They come by your place and install a cable box (like to old school Scientific America boxes) that limits your cannels to just 12 or 13 channels.
When they leave, unhook the box and toss it in your closet and use your vcr. You know have basic cable for $12/mo

When I called to cancel, they didn't offer me anything. That's fine with me, because it is a no-brainer to switch. Directv is far superior in just about every way I can think of. I wouldn't switch back even if Directv was double the cost of Comcast.
