Bye Bye Comcast :D


This coming week Comcast is getting the boot... I have digital cable with three boxes, no movie channels, and of course a cable modem... I pay $127 a month in cable bills!

Well after the FCC ruling that states cable companies have to share their cable lines for broadband WideOpenWest cable moved in.

http://www1.wowway.com/wowPricing.as...BCIid=2003#BCI

They are offering a FASTER cable then Comcast, better menu system for the digital cable, and most importantly almost $50 cheaper a month!

4 megabit downstream (500K/sec) and 500kbit (62.5K/sec) upload. That is hella fast... I just downloaded the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory on my Comcast, I can not imagine almost 150K/sec faster then this!

4 mbit man we only get 3.

But you know somthing that is kinda stupid(goes with the FCC thing about haveing to selll cable line BW) The bell companies are required to lease out there systems at LOWER than the cost of keeping the system up and running, so they make a negative profit by selling the use of lines, and they can't not sell it if someone can afford it.
