One Comcast subcontractor ran four lines throughout my house, hooked up the cable modem, the digital cable, and attempted to program the remote to my ten year old Daewoo TV (no luck), all in under FIFTY minutes. Everything works perfectly. I heart Comcast. ---

> [@ShalerPunk](#): > > there are other cable companies, but their territories don’t overlap. thats sux too. i used to have comcast, now i have adelphia and the prices are worse for the same service. PS, comcast customer service is the pits, worse than adelphia. so just hope your bill is right every month otherwise be prepared to lose hair arguing with CS dumbasses. ---

> [@mp3ray](#): > > my ex worked for AT&T in Pittsburgh and did cable stuff, i think they merged with Aldephia or something? if what i heard is accurate… AT&T sold their cable division to Comcast. Comcast recently bought Adelphia. Adelphia customers will become Comcast customers. ---
