You can get stream most channels online w/ HD and hulu can be your DVR. Also, just because they send you a bill doesn't mean you have to pay it. The numbers on the bill are just numbers, don't be afraid of your credit score! Ditch cable, get DSL for $20 and route your monitor signal through your TV.

In fact, we've never had cable until we moved to OH and I actually miss NOT having cable. I seem to get more things done without the TV. Good luck. You won’t miss TV.

I always pay online, and a few months ago they cashed the same check number twice about 10 days apart. I talked to two reps there and they both said they couldn't do anything about it. I ended up having to call my bank and getting them to put the money back in my account as a fraud claim. Jamie, I forgot about the issues I’ve had with them cashing my check twice.

We just upgraded to digital cable a few months back, got different information from every person we talked to, and the only person that seemed to care or do anything proactive was the awesome tech that came to our house to install it, was up on a ladder in the pouring rain, and totally took care of everything. Then Dave paid the first bill on the Comcast website, and it cleared our bank, but then they said they never got it. Since he'd paid it on their site, he didn't have the record in his paid bills (at that point), and paid it again. Of course, after they charged us the fee to have the cable turned back on, he got the notifications that they'd taken his money twice, and now we're overpaid through sometime next month (this was in October). Not to mention that they didn't send us a bill for two months after we got the new service. Their communication is seriously lacking.

I'm not a hippie! 2. A few weeks without TV will be excellent. 3. Don't you love how as soon as you try to cancel a service, people all of a sudden have the authority to give you whatever you want? I've never heard ANYONE say a good thing about Comcast. 1. I’m not a hippie!
