Reader Adam has written in to share his maddeningly typical experience with Comcast. As he says, "They didn't kill my first born child, but they were a big pain in the ass." After his bill kept increasing mysteriously each month Adam and his wife decided that they'd better downgrade their package and get rid of Comcast's digital phone service. It only took 3 days and 9 phone calls before Adam's wife gave up and just went to Comcast's office. And, naturally, when she got home with her new modem the internet didn't work. And when they fixed the internet the cable stopped working.

Not that surprising but considering the market and the size of the compnay, the price is quite high.... ---Quote--- Comcast Corp, the largest U.S. cable operator, said on Tuesday it is buying DailyCandy, a women's fashion and lifestyle e-mail newsletter for an undisclosed amount. Comcast paid around $125 million for the closely held New York-based company, according to people familiar with the talks. DailyCandy employs 55 people and sends out daily e-mails to readers in 12 U.S. cities and London, England. Comcast said DailyCandy, which started in 2000, runs a successful premium ad-supported e-mail business and has kept a loyal base of fashion-conscious women in their 20s to 40s. It said this has attracted major advertisers like American Express, Target and Procter & Gamble. The DailyCandy service, and its 2.5 million-strong subscriber base and team, will be integrated into Comcast's web unit Comcast Interactive Media (CIM). Comcast and DailyCandy already have an editorial relationship through two of Comcast's cable TV channels, the E! and Style networks, with editors and writers of the newsletter featuring on the networks' TV shows. Executives said that they see local advertising and cross-platform content opportunities on other Comcast Web properties including its Web portal Comcast.net and other TV shows. CIM has been active in making acquisitions and developing new Web sites in the last two years as the company diversifies in the cha ... Source: deals.huaren.us --- 7 hours ago

Right off the bat, well played…well played indeed. You instantly hooked my wife with the offer of a free Wii when subscribing to the Comcast Triple Play services . And to be honest, if I planned on using Comcast for Internet and TV again, this might be something worth considering. But I really do not want to deal with landline phone service again. It’s just not something we have used in years. That and I am not really interested in a two year service contract. For those of you looking for a new gaming system, a three for one cable package, I am sure it’s a great deal. No, for me, this comercial seen below goes much further than merely offering a service - it’s clever marketing that is apparently working. My wife was totally ready to sign-up so long as the cost for the services rendered made sense for our needs. Comcast, you are getting better. You nearly cost me my FiOS connection! But in all seriousness, it’s a good play overall for what you are providing. That said, give me 20/20 up and down for my Internet connectivity with unfettered access and I might even consider the offer. Comcast Rescues My Customer From DSL Hell Comcast Gives It To Godaddy!
