Comcast HD replacing my VaVaBoom
I guess I'll be spending more of my time in here now that Voom is nearly over. I'll keep my service as long as it stays up, but I went ahead and signed up for service in Coppell. Really good deal going too...
$29.95 for Gold package (2 movie channels)
$29.95 High speed internet
$9.95 HD-DVR
$0 no fee for HD
$5.95 for each addition non-DVR box
$15.90 for each additional HD-DVR Box
So my bill dropped $77/mo. I lose the 21 Voom exclusives, HD-UPN, TNTHD, UniversalHD, and 2 HD movie channels, but gain 2 other HD channels Voom is missing. I think it is a fair trade-off. Especially when my neighbors HD quality is currently better than Vooms (those badly tuned encoders), I was completely shocked.
I will miss UniversalHD, especially since they will soon show BSG in pure HD glory. I can only hope Comcast adds the missing HD channels soon.
BTW, Comcast is installing FTTC in my area. Not sure when it will come online though. I heard they will offer 40mbit/sec internet service when it does.
