We need to send a message.

1. I have preemptively cancelled by never ordering it in the first place.

I have rabbit ears for local news and sports, and the internet for entertainment and national/world news.

3. Not me.

I actually like Comcast. I like how the channels are set up. Friends and family have other providers, but I still like Comcast the best.

5. I suppose its in how you consider comcast.

I have comcast service in my home. This is not likely to change soon. Perhaps in january when the promo is up, but even then, I am likely to end up back with comcast.

I currently have cable TV and internet. However, the TV is only the first 17 channels, which costs about $14 if I recall. However, having it bundled with internet saves me $20 on internet.
I would love to switch to another internet provider, however, Comcast appears to be the only high speed provider in my area. I had clear, but I am in a dead zone for them after my most recent move. There is DSL, but both of my aunts have it, about a mile away. They pay twice as much, are stuck with some sort of contract, and get pitiful speed, noticeable for even minor tasks like web browsing. Plus I have no desire to pay for a phone line. So far I havnt found a phone line that would lower the end bill the way that adding TV does to my end bill.. I would hate to think how hard that would suck for watching online video.

So, until there is an affordable speedy alternative, Comcast will likely be my internet provider. And as long as they keep offering me a lower total price to take TV service than to leave it off, I will likely have TV service.

Or maybe at some point I will just leave off with this whole internet thing. Ive done it before. But its unlikely, at this point in my life.

7. I haven't had Comcast for over 16 years...and even though they still send me mail

I will never go back. They are way too expensive and their customer service people are sadistic bastards, as is their owner.
