    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    Yeah, theBruce, but when you are quoted a price for 2 years, it should be honored no matter what. There has to be a way to prevent companies from doing these things and crapping all over us. :onstrike

    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    Well DishDave, maybe tomorrow if I get in the mood I will give them a call. To me, if you are promised a price for a 2 year contract, it should be honored.

    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    Well, I guess Comcast lied. Got my new bill. Up 4$. Said that wouldn't happen over my 2 year bundle. So do I call them up and talk to someone I can't understand or just deal with it ?

    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    I don't understand what you mean about your VOIP. Anyhow, I just looked at a breakdown on my bill. The phone is not listed on the bills breakdown. Wonder why.

    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    Before I had the bundle, I had Dish, Vonage, Comcast Internet and my own modem and had a separate bill for Netflix. It took 2 weeks for Comcast to port my phone over from Vonage. They kept blaming each other for the problems. Finally I had to get a little nasty and the phone began to work.

    Xfinity (Comcast) rate/lineup changes

    My bundle. Gig internet, phone, Netflix, all Premium Movie Channels and 3 boxes. Had to rent their modem because of the phone. $218 a month total. Wife bitches about the bill.

    Comcast increases Broadband speeds

    ^ Trying to figure out what you meant by EarDemon. I click on that and Chick - Fila comes up. But anyhoo, still Leary about speed checks. My results are all over the place and I have no issues with my speeds.

    Comcast increases Broadband speeds

    Got the gig internet. Doing a speed check it can vary from the 900’s to the 300’s. I wonder how accurate these speed tests are. One thing that never changes is the upload speed. It is always 41.

    Thinking Of Switching From Dish To Comcast/Xfinity

    Went to X1 from Dish a few years ago because of the bundle deal. The PQ on X1 is worse than Dish. I really notice it like say at the beginning of a HBO movie when their logo is on. A lot of “clouds “ in the background. When my 2 year contract is up with them, I will go looking elsewhere. A...

    Pixelation at times on distant locals

    Changed from Dish to Comcast a few months ago. I do notice audio dropouts and occasional video dropouts. Maybe it's a X1 thing. Do you have X1?

    @comcast issued a batch of #X1 updates, including a music-video shuffle

    I happened to awaken at 2:30 AM the other nite. The slave unit's blue light was blinking like crazy. Wonder if Comcast does nightly updates like Dish's 1:30 am deal.

    Any of you guys switch from Dish Network to Comcast recently?

    Now a little bit about the voice control. I thought it would be something I'd never use. But being new to Comcast and not familiar with their guide, I really like it. Just say a channel, a movie or an actor and there it is. Their Cast and Crew feature is also very nice. Also great that the...

    Any of you guys switch from Dish Network to Comcast recently?

    Thanks for the skip info. When I first powered up X1, the picture was not as clear as the Hopper. The wife even noticed. Now it is very clear, maybe clearer than the Hopper. It up converts everything to 1080p. Does anyone know how to make that info box not come on when doing a direct channel...

    Any of you guys switch from Dish Network to Comcast recently?

    I had to watch my soaps before I started my install. :popcorn There is a skip forward and back feature. Page up and down does this. I seen on another forum that you can adjust how much you want it to skip. These boxes do not need to have a Internet connection, meaning I didn't need to connect...

    Any of you guys switch from Dish Network to Comcast recently?

    Another problem. My old HD CRT does not have HDMI Inputs. The client box does not have audio output connectors. It does have DVI. Have to see about another box. Here's the front view of both boxes. This box runs VERY cool. The cat just jumped off. He preferred the warm Hopper. Too early to...

    20 pounds of X1 stuff due to arrive today. The double play savings were too much for me to ignore. Dang, just heard knock at door. Stuff is here. Will report back when installed.
