I use Comcast for my cable TV and AT&T DSL for my Internet connection. Comcast was calling me on a regular basis, during dinner hours, to try to sell me on switching to them for Internet and phone service. I finally got fet up and said "take me off your list. Stop calling me."

"But sir, as our customer, we have a right to call you."

"Stop. Calling. Me."

"Okay, sir, it make take a few days for this to get through our system."


I only use Comcast because they provide content that my Tivo-HD can digest. They decided to "upgrade" my cablecard, which required me to drive with the thing over to one of their offices, where I spent an hour in a queue. This contrasts with DirecTV, who just mails you a new smartcard and doesn't care about the old one.

Basically, give me a "real" Tivo with DirecTV service, and I'll be happy to leave Comcast.
