Holiday Laugh

[aa9vi]

I fond this today and it's either very laughable or just pathetic:
Compare Comcast vs. the Competition | Verizon FiOS | DirecTV | AT&T U-verse

Yet, they keep getting away with it. Remember those "you have to cut a hole in the tree" commercials?

I wonder why they didn't do a comparison with Dish Network?

And where is the proof about the 10x more HD choices they claim?

In regard to HD they count there on demand section..and with sports they also count there "local" comcast stations

 

[satjay]

All the companies have there own way of putting some "spin" on there numbers.

Woah, I can get Norton Anti Virus through Comcast? Great, I need some anti virus for my new TV! On top of that, you couldn't pay me to use a program as bad as Norton.
Watch thousands of TV shows and movies online—anywhere: I can already do this without paying for either service
TV picture freezes or pixelates during severe weather: Is that why I went without Comcast for a week after Hurricane Charley in 2004(not to mention a week after each of the other two hurricanes?)

Then they say who needs an ugly satellite dish...honestly, I think the slimline looks pretty cool.

That's good, like all their marketing.

I love these:
"The most HD choices YES NO"
- Uh, what is 'choices', it is not 'channels'

"The most live sports YES NO"
- Uh, no, unless you count local community college and high school sports.

"TV picture freezes or pixelates during severe weather NO YES"
- Well, when I had cable it just went out, static, even in good weather, so I'll settle for some rain fade.

"AnyRoom™ DVR: Record a show in one room and watch it in another YES YES"
- At least they didn't lie about DirecTV having MRV, though I would like to see them stop charging $3 for it.
