Comcast to Buy Time Warner Cable

[Peppermint Patty]

$42 billion dollar deal could expand the availability of the Longhorn Network.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I have many friends who have had Comcast and hated it, I have heard nothing but bad things from my Houston area friends in particular about Comcast. I couldn't careless about the Longhorn Network but I hope if I ever move back into an area that has Time Warner (soon-to-be Comcast) that service is not interrupted by the Company because of their wrongdoing.

I've heard really bad things about Comcast. On the bright side we will now be able to watch the Astros and Rockets on CSN. That doesn't really help me much with Direct TV though.

[Peppermint Patty]

I have Comcast/Xfinity and have no complaints. Except they don't carry TLN.

It's going to be tough IMO to get the FCC to sign off on this deal.

If they combine they will own 33% of the market. I don't know if the monopoly lawyers will allow that.

Same here. I had comcast and switched to direct tv because it was cheaper for a little while, they sucked and I switched back to comcast even though it's a little more expensive. The direct tv in my area starts messing up when it rains hard, the only time my comcast/xfinity messed up was hurricane Ike. I've seen a bunch of Lamar, HBU, Sam Houston, and d2 games that I didn't even know were aired. They also show a local high school game every Thursday night, have a Friday football show that cover local teams in depth, and a recruiting show that airs during the season until signing day. There's usually about 5 or 6 high school games on per weekend on comcast, I have at least a dozen channels that show d1-naia games on Saturdays.

I think poor Customer Service is a growing problem across the board for many companies.

 

I'm sure when your cable goes out, they should account for the "pissed off" factor to begin with. Nobody is happy.
