When I moved to my new place in January, I set up an appointment for comcast to bring me my stuff. I could have gotten it myself, but dealing with the mouthbreatherse and human trash that would be in the Comcast store in the middle of the day would be worse than the DMV so I declined. I had an 11am appointment, and they guarantee a 30 minute window. Ok, no problem, I'll just take a bit longer lunch today. 11:30, not there. 12, not there. 1:30, not there. So after multiple, repeated phone calls to comcast they tell me the driver is close. I had a 2:00 apointment that day that I had to miss (wasn't a HUGE deal, as others were there for me but still I woudl have liked to be there). This dumbass is visibly high when he gets there. He sets everything up, and I don't get any HD channels, just standard. I ask him about that, he says I probably need to buy a new HDMI cable (I had bought a new one the week before in prep). I wanted him to just GTFO of my place so I said whatever. I go buy another cable. Still no HD channels. I call comcast again to set up another appointment (it's about a week before they can send someone again). Different guy comes (only about 30 minutes late this time) and says the box is fricked up. He goes to the van and gets me a new one and so now it works. So I basically went 2 weeks with no TV. Also, my internet is slow as shite, so I basically dont' even get on my computer at home and just use my phone. It'll work for about 60 seconds at a time, then "go out" for a few seconds, then come back. It's fine if I'm just on message boards, but if I"m trying to load a video or something it's horrendous (and it affects netflix sometimes for this reason), and I don't even attempt to purchase anything on my home computer anymore because of it. I made that mistake once, and the internet went out while the card was processing. Took a few weeks to get things straightened out with the company I was ordering from and my CC to make the purchase go through. But as bad as that is...I am so incredibly hateful of Comcast that it's worth it to me to just accept shitty internet simply so I don't have to communicate with them. Any time I ever call, it's someone in India who can barely speak English and who is quite clearly reading off of a script like a robot.
Whatever you do, avoid comcast if you can at all, possibly help it.

Looks like I'm going with Uverse. All their BS charges for everything sucks though.

Uvverse by a god damn mile
It might be a little more expensive but trust me it's well worth it I've had both several times

Comcast/Xfinity is the motherfricking devil. That company couldn't be any worse if they used child labor and advertised it.
I'm a current moron paying them for there incredibly shitty service and deals. Jesus I miss Cox Comm.

We switch back and forth every 12 months or so for pricing reasons. They are both overpriced when the "deals" run out, and they both have terrible customer service. The people who come out and install/service are also equally incompetent.
Comcast has better internet speed and you can use your own modem/router. AT&T requires you to use their equipment and they have built-in charges for it every month. The plus side to AT&T is you can send back their equipment via UPS; you don't have to go to one of those disgusting satellite offices and deal with horrible people. You also only need one hot wire in the house, which was nice because the cable outlet in the master bedroom is in a stupid place, but that didn't matter since that TV was synced up to the downstairs TV through some kind of magic signal.
We actually just decided to dump cable and go back to Comcast internet. AT&T internet really isn't that great. So, we had one of their incompetents come out this past week and half-arse install our internet. We figured the rest of it out ourselves.
Google Fiber can't get here soon enough.

my Uverse bill comes in about $80 more than it's supposed to be every month. Pisses me off, but stil...Uverse. Like it otherwise. And they're usually pretty good about knocking it down but it takes me calling and bitching every month or two.
Same thing happened to me with uverse. I got the first year for $90/month for internet and U300 tv and they kept sending me the full bill and I had to call in probably for the first 6 months to get them to correct it. But, that is pretty much the only issue I've had with them.
The internet is not as fast as Comcast, but when I had Comcast, their internet was down all the time. Uverse has gone down 3 times in the almost 3 years I've had it. I work from home, so internet is essential and when Comcast was going down weekly, and at points daily, I just couldn't take it anymore. They also wouldn't budge on the bill after all the issues with the internet, so I said frick em.
Luckily for me, we're getting Google fiber where I am in the next year or so, which has already forced both Comcast and Uverse to say they will start offering super high speed internet at competitive prices. We'll see what happens when Google comes on board. Finally, some real competition.

And I will still be switching because better prices in the ninth hour don't compensate for years of price gouging AND awful service. I imagine most people will do the same. frick em. It's going to be fun watching those bastards go down.

What internet speed did you have with Uverse? The fastest they have in Mobile is 45 mbps so I think that's what I'm going with.
