Comcast

Pros: Dependable, high-quality video/audio. Nice (albeit_strictly_text) on-screen "guide." Occasional/temporary price reductions amount to a good deal.
Cons: No free ("Total-Home"/higher-capacity/Web-accessible) DVR. No "picture-in-picture" while channel surfing. Limited “channel_guide.” Less bang per buck.

Pros: I would like to know
Cons: How do I name them all?

I guess you could say that I have had it up to my ears with Comcast. They would not be my first choice in Cable Television providers. Unfortunately there are two reasons why I have Comcast.

#1 - I inherited Comcast from my last cable company...

Pros: Good number of channel offerings; Several packages offered; Improved customer service
Cons: Customer service isn't the best it could be; Some channels have bad reception.

Cable television is a mainstay in most American homes. Once a rarity and often considered a luxury, it has grown and expanded to levels exceeding most of the estimates from the 1960’s and 1970’s, when it was first introduced. Today, there are many ...

Cons: Internet service, customer service.

As the old saying goes, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone, and if anybody needs proof of that, I invite them to switch from their current cable company to Comcast Cable. Unless, of course, you have the distinct displeasure of ...

Pros: Value, On Demand TV, very fast internet speed when it's working.
Cons: Many & frequent problems (internet) without a solution or know what to do about it.

Pros: None
Cons: Everything! (Just read the review)

Oh where do I begin? Well let me start out by saying I could be free from this horrible cable company called Comcast if in fact my neighbor and I came to an agreement to cut down some trees. Yes, the only way I could be free of this cable nightmare and ...

Pros: In theory, it's great.
Cons: It hasn't worked properly once in the four months we've been subscribers.

(note: This review is a new update on a Comcast review I'd done last year)

Cable companies are often the most annoying "public service" company to deal with - worse than telephone, worse than electricity, even worse than standing in line at...

Pros: Offers high definition and on-demand service, and customer support is generally good.
Cons: Bugs in their digital/HD offerings; their internet speeds aren't consistently as good as advertised.

We've used Comcast for several years, with the Digital Silver package (HBO/Show/Encore/etc), High Definition receiver, digital video recorder and cable internet. We've threatened to drop them on several occasions, and each time they've always come back ...
