Comcast is an awful company to begin with. Dont even get me started on it. Contact your local phone provider and see what they offer. Sometimes they have speeds similar to cable speeds, sometimes you will have to take slower (but cheaper!) internet. Unfortunately most of Indiana only has two choices, your phone provider (ATT, Frontier, Century Link, etc) or your cable provider (Comcast).

We ditched ATT Uverse a couple years ago to save cost. We put in a antenna this past fall and it works fairly well. That mixed with streaming DVD player and we don't miss cable much. Most Disney shows are on Netflix(8 bucks/mo) and we rent movies on Vudu when we want to see something.

The propaganda machines are being used by those with a agenda ....

List of all the holding under Comcast .....Comcast Corporation is the majority owner of NBCUniversal with a 51% interest. GE holds a 49% interest.

Ugh! The man of my life is a gamer so any suggestions on where to go for similar quality to Comcast Internet? We don't even have cable but I don't want Comcast to see a dime of mine.

I heard this on the radio today. I was going to get comcast internet this week. Not now.Looks like dish network.

Apparently the gun-banners were dropping them because they hadn't come out against guns ....Well let's see how many pro-gun folks make them feel the heat so they'll see the light.

I got rid of Comcast when my bill tripled after their introductory offer. With this policy there goes their ratings. Will not watch NBC again.

 

[IndyGunSafety]

I got word yesterday that our commercial for gun safety courses was banned. Time to get rid of Comcast. I prolly ought to sue them to recover the money I spent on production of a commercial they sold me and now won't air.

I know it could really be a PITA to change cable companies, but if you have Comcast please consider changing and telling them why.

If there were another cable company I would... I've had my fair share of problems with them long before they decided to ban anything firearms related - https://www.mikedvb.com/2010/11/10/comcast-extreme-lack-of-customer-service/

 

[Vic_Mackey]

I just spread this to every gun company and 2A support page on my Facebook. They're gonna feel the heat once this breaks. I hate NBC anyways because they gave that pinko commie Alex Baldwin some crappy TV show with other commies.

why and how do the 1st and 2nd amendment apply to comcast in this case?

 

[Classic]

Maybe there is room to pressure some local government officials over this, after all someone had to grant Comcast a monopoly position.

 

[Yes]

I don't have a choice, I have to have comcast where I live. But every time I get on the phone with them I go out of my way to ruin the day of whoever I'm talking to. I worked in call-centers for 10 years and they did it to me all the time, so don't you dare try and tell me I shouldn't do it to them.

If you pay for a service you didn't receive, it would be a breach of contract. Sue them!

Well, if they were a normal business (say a local newspaper or any other business), then they wouldn't.

However, cable companies use government installed lines and up until recently had a government enforced monopoly on those lines. So I would say that this is a bit different than telling a newspaper what they have to print. They are selling space on government deployed fiber, in which case they should have to take all advertisement that doesn't fall outside the protections of the 1st Amendment (incitement, etc).

If they want to deploy their own fiber network and negotiate all land rights to do so, then I have no problem with them controlling content on their own system.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

Comcast? I don't need no stinking Comcast! Just called them and cancelled. Dish is getting a call in the morning!

I have passed this to my friends on twitter and facebook. They're are pretty active and will hopefully get this message out.

i use dish.like duke for internet. i could go stealth but not that muchj fun.

 

[e-llipsis]

I depend heavily on my Internet connection for the work I do, but you can bet I'll be looking for a different option (than Crapcast), even if it's not immediate.
