well, since my cable bill has escalated to the tune of 210.00 for the "bundle" and i called comcast was informed that they could do nothing for me, they are gone. just got the call from the Att guy and he's on his way.

i'm getting everything i had from comcast + a 4 room dvr for 135.00. I have no problem with comcast's service it's their ever escalating pricing that is the problem. especially considering that our unemployment in this area of Michigan is close to 20%.

Agree on the pricing.  I dropped the bundle a while ago.

We don't have ATT here.   I'm not interested in a home phone anyway.

my wife will not let go of the landline, but with the att "bundle" the phone is only 10.00 more so i won't bitch for the time being. in a year if ATT raises the pricing i'll go back to comcast as a new customer and pay half what i'm paying now. in the mean time they can kiss my ass.  [sm_devil]

Nice!  I need to do the same thing, but I've been too lazy.  Comcast keeps raising their rates and AT&T keeps pushing some good promotions.

(my wife refuses to drop the landline too  ;D)

Whatever happened to two cans and a piece of string, and sitting around the wireless of an evening with the family listening to Benny Goodman and his orchestra??

I think you've got bigger issues in Michigan...

A baseball stadium in Michigan has created an artery-busting hamburger containing 4800 calories and is daring fans to eat the "snack", promising a free T-shirt to anyone who succeeds.

In an apparent bid to cook up some comfort food during hard economic times, the West Michigan Whitecaps are offering fans a behemoth dubbed the Fifth Third Burger, named after the team's stadium and the meal's five beef patties, which each weigh 136 grams.

The burger is smothered with chilli, salsa, sour cream and a dollop of melted nacho-style cheese - topped off with Frito chips, lettuce, tomato and five slices of American cheese and laid out in a bun made with 454 grams of dough.

It will cost $US20.


"Besides being unique and large and bizarre, it tastes good," Whitecaps president Scott Lane told the Grand Rapids News.

"I'm sure there are going to be crazies that come down and try to eat the entire thing."

In addition to weighing in at more than double the US daily recommended caloric intake, the Fifth Third Burger contains nearly 300 grams of fat, 744 milligrams of cholesterol and more than 10,000 milligrams of sodium, the paper said.

Lane shrugged off the health implications inherent in taking on the Fifth Third.

"At home, people eat healthy. When they come to a game, they might eat a hot dog."
