I was contemplating getting Comcast for internet but not only does it cost $55/month over here, I would have to get digital cable, and you don't want to hear my opinion about their cable channel lineup in this city. (Hint: They should change their name to "El Comcasto" and accept payment in pesos.)
Whoa, that just happed to me about a month ago. All the lower channels that used to be standard broadcast are now Spanish language channels. I hate Comcast with a passion. I still can't even get the SciFi channel.
Exactly.
For $40/month, I can get an assload of channels I like with DirecTV. Specifically, History channel, Discovery, Animal Planet, etc. etc.
Comcast in this area doesn't offer Animal Planet AT ALL. Instead, my $50/month (WTF) for "standard" cable includes 40 mexican channels, a couple Russian ones, and Filipino, Thai, Korean, and Vietnamese channels. What. The. Hell. I'd be more vehemently expressive about my opinion on this but I'd get banned for being racist.
