Pretty Well Done With Comcast

[blairmacg]

Comcast has told me, basically, take it or leave it.  My bill has nearly doubled in twelve months.  I was just told there are no options to reduce the bill that won't also reduce my service to very, very basic (as in only local) channels. Oh, and I am the one who must make an 80-mile round trip to return their equipment to their office.  Because, you know, Comcast is doing me a great favor by letting me pay them lots of money.  I should be overjoyed to lose nearly $150 in billable hours AND pay $4 a gallon for gas.  Whee!

So now I'm looking at other options, with the intent of switching in the next 30 days. Any advice or experience y'all have on the matter of cable and/or internet, I'd be happy to hear it.

A lot of people out here swear by satellite TV. I still have cable, so I wouldn't know.

My sole experience with satellite was in a far more rural setting, and whenever the weather was marginal, so was the service. But things may have improved in the last couple of years.
