I had basic cable, now I have this.
Comcast tried to tell me when I called I must have a super old TV, but I found out later that comcast is scrambling all HD signal and charging on their network to unscramble, even to limited basic cable users. It's a "mo' money for us" thing. Greed.
I don't give a crap if something is HD or not. My eyes are bad anyhow.
I'm torn now on what to do. My older brother gets me internet/limited basic, in the required bundle (you can't get internet without limited basic with comcast) as a revolving b-day present. However, I don't ever hear from my brother. It's his account. I can't alter anything or rent equipment under it. Not that I think it is right, what comcast is doing, to embezzle more money from struggling souls. So I'm torn. But I'm not staring at a red comcast blood money screen for more than another day. If I don't hear from my brother, I'll have to send him a letter and hope he might read snail mail. And then I'll disconnect from the greedy scum that comcast has become. That will also mean losing internet access.

Aaargh.
As a reluctant subscriber myself, I was just on the phone with them yesterday transferring service to a new house. We have cable and internet in our current place, and I considered dropping cable when we move. They do offer internet-only service, but you will probably have to talk to a manager or higher up to get the service. You might also have to sign a two-year contract for the service, which I think is mental. Not like there's much choice in internet providers, is there?

Not with cable. There are some DSL service providers, but my phone line troubles probably make that not a wise move. I did not know one might be able to get internet only, from comcast. That would be ideal for me.
