I have literally 50+ sports channels. None of which I watch, but every time they add 1-2 my rates keep going up. <br><br>Seriously, they need to reform their lineup and dump ALL sports into a single tier. I've been waiting FOREVER for Charter to carry Travel HD, and all I get is Golf HD?<br><br>COME ON ALREADY.

After I said that I was aware of all the pros and cons, the rep tried talking me into switching to basic cable which is like 15 crappy channels in my area.  They didnt offer anything to lower my rates.  Dish, here I come!!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stringfellow Hawk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2008 4:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast fields tons of "lower my bill!" calls in rough economy]]></title><link>http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just switched to Verizon's FiOS TV.  Their bundle is saving me approximate $60/month over Verizon FiOS (without TV) and Comcast, and I get a hell of a lot more channels.  Screw you, Comcast, and your VHS quality "high definition" channels!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 12:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast fields tons of "lower my bill!" calls in rough economy]]></title><link>http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</guid><description><![CDATA[Stringfellow::: <br><br>I am sorry to hear about that they would not lower your bill I suppose it depends on who you talk to because after my promo was up I called and I did exactly what you did and told them I would switch back to Dish and twice they lowered my price good for a year and HSI 19.99 for 6 months. I would try again and hopefully you get a good CSR. I am currently in Chicago right now and when I move to Washington State Next year I am switching to FIOS which I will be excited about alot more HD channels for less and NON- Conpressed HD as well. Good Luck ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gerald]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 8:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast fields tons of "lower my bill!" calls in rough economy]]></title><link>http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</guid><description><![CDATA[The deal making probably varies market to market.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2009 6:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast fields tons of "lower my bill!" calls in rough economy]]></title><link>http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/12/09/comcast-fields-tons-of-lower-my-bill-calls-in-rough-economy/</guid><description><![CDATA[Comcast is a joke. I signed up for FiOS, lowered my bill, got more HD channels, got faster internet and at the end of the year my bill will stay the same- unlike comcast where their teaser promo rolls up about 30% at the end.<br><br>I also got cash back when I signed up.
