The quoting thing is giving me headaches, so I'm gonna do it this way.
On the Comcast is doing it slower and others have already dumped me, etc, nope, not here. Cable competitors are offering a lot of the new channels that I think Comcast should be carrying that they aren't. Comcast continues to focus just on
HD here, while their competitors are doing that, too, but with more channels than Comcast.
And we don't even have the Digital Starter package option. It's no longer available here and hasn't been for quite some time. In fact, the lower two tiers of Comcast's packages, the starter and ... oops, can't recall the name this second ... but both have gone away. They are very focused in this market on
HD and the superior packages. Unless you go to the absolute basic with no hint of premium, they aren't offering them. Now, this may be a regional issue because I do know that areas in other parts of the state have many more channels than we do and in fact, they had channels like Hallmark, Oxygen, Soapnet, et.al. for one to two years before we got them. So again, I say that in my neck of the woods, it's a losing proposition with the channels. I've checked on this a lot and have actually spoken with several of the higher ups in our region. It's all about
HD. They really don't care about the little guy anymore.
