So yes, there is absolutely, positively, no reason whatsoever to stick with Comcast if you have the choice. So glad they're gone from my life forever.]]>Dec 12th 2008 5:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/Dec 12th 2008 1:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/

F.U. COMCAST!!!]]>Dec 12th 2008 1:31PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/
Even that plan seems impossible as they can't seem to bring the correct equipment to complete the installation. I mean how many times do you have to tell their operators/installers "bring a single mcard cablecard for my TiVo" before it sinks in. Let's hope try #3 this evening is the charm.]]>Dec 12th 2008 1:37PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/Dec 12th 2008 3:56PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/
Not enough is being made out of Cablevision's refusal to allow FIOS to run any of the 4 MSG HD channels in the NY Metro area. Cablevision owns the teams that play at MSG and all 4 channels. On those channels are the Knicks, Rangers, Islanders and Devils. So basically, if you live in NY, and you want to watch hockey in HD, you MUST have cablevision. In fact, Cablevision runs ads in the local market that don't mention they own these channels, but says that they are the only cable provider that can offer every NY sports team in HD. So, rather than compete on price, Cablevision wants to compete on content, except rather than add content, they want to own the content to keep it away from other companies. You gotta love deregulation!]]>Dec 12th 2008 1:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/
And I should have included this link before: http://policyblog.verizon.com/policyblog/blogs/policyblog/ericrabe9/515/why-verizon-doesn-t-offer-msg-in-hd.aspx

That's Verizon's stance on the no MSG-HD issue.]]>Dec 12th 2008 2:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/Dec 12th 2008 2:41PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/
I'm taking this from a website called multichannel.com. "Martin" is the FCC Chairman.

"Cablevision also owns MSG Network, a regional sports channel. Cablevision withholds the HD version of MSG from Verizon Communications, Cablevision’s main wireline competitor in the greater New York City region.

Martin told reporters he has no plans to eliminate the legal exemption that allows Cablevision to restrict access to MSG’s HD feed.

Cablevision’s new alliance with Martin comes after the company in September hired its first full-time permanent lobbyist in Washington, D.C., in many years, scooping up one of Martin’s closest aides, Catherine Bohigian. The value of the Bohigian-Martin connection to Cablevision is certain to change once Martin steps down after the Obama administration takes power on Jan. 20.

Nevertheless, Cablevision should be able to maintain access to Obama’s FCC chairman. David Ellen, Cablevision’s executive vice president and general counsel for cable and communications, attended Harvard Law School with Obama and succeeded him as president of the Harvard Law Review."

Your government at work]]>Dec 12th 2008 2:52PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/I had CUmcast for quite some time and will never again use their services.
I would rather go without TV/internets than pay them.
Putting acid in my eyes sounds more appealing.

I just got FiOS TV installed, got my FiOS Internet bumped to 20/5 speed, and I'm going to save $50/month over FiOS Internet + Comcast!

That company needs to die. Horribly.]]>Dec 12th 2008 5:08PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/
Verizon would probably be the only one worth keeping otherwise jackyourpriceupscamcast, qworst, and AT&T (any good name for them?) can go away or be totally restructured. No bailouts either!]]>Dec 12th 2008 10:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/Dec 13th 2008 1:24AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/12/comcast-has-no-shame-successfully-delays-fios-vote-for-philadel/
Isn't it obvious that the problem is corrupt politicians on the city council? If Verizon wants to cable the city for FiOS, why the heck would the council members not allow it? Isn't their job to serve their citizens?
