Farewell, Comcast Cable. We won’t miss you.

Ps. It was harder to disconnect TiVo than Comcast. Their retention people offered me $10/mo and then $7/mo. They pretended not to understand when I explained that the service has almost no value for me without cable, and even suggested I get an HD over-the-air antenna. I had to actually yell at them to get them to turn us off.

    Well, you can always find a friend who watches and have yourself a weekly party at their house.
