I DONT KNOW HOW that would have happened at my house getting a "hook up" ;)<BR/><BR/>all i can say was there was an up roar the min they did it and i even went outside with my robe on and confronted the man. my daughter had already ran down our almost 200 ft driveway to catch him. we were a little ticked. <BR/><BR/>after that i told comcast that i wanted all of their services disconnected immedently. and went without the tv portion and now have att for internet. i pay over 50.00 a month less then what i would have with comcast. plus i dont think i was getting all the channels that basic fios gets. att is still not fully in our area for cable, and i dont really even watch tv anymore so i will be waiting to see when fios will be in my area (if ever) and see what kind of deal i can get. <BR/><BR/>have a great one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-70013440528882269092009-02-24T11:24:00.000-05:002009-02-24T11:24:00.000-05:00Indy:We USED to call "free TV" having an ANTENNA o...Indy:<BR/>We USED to call "free TV" having an ANTENNA on the roof...LOL!<BR/><BR/>Then someone found out you can CHARGE people for CONVERTERS "if" they decide (read forced) to switch to DIGITAL SIGNAL RECEPTION.<BR/>(nice one, Feds...)<BR/><BR/>As to cable, I'm glad Comcast got knocked off the "monopoly" mountain.<BR/>Time to let some more kids play in that sandbox.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments.<BR/><BR/>B.G.Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-15048035165695330292009-02-24T10:26:00.000-05:002009-02-24T10:26:00.000-05:00this is probley how it went down with the fios thi...this is probley how it went down with the fios thing. hummmm that guy is pretty smart we need to look into it. then they found out you get a ton of channels for 47.00 a month. bet, mtv, amc, turner clasics.... and said whoe thats a good deal. then they called them up and got the 47.00 a month plan. and if they were nice to the intallers they might had gotten the free deal called pay 47.00 a month and well boost you up to 99 a month plan but wont tell anyone......i know all about that stuff. i had a similar hookup like that at one time.....lasted for yearssssssss many yearssss then the economy went bad and they sent people out in my area to disconnect extra service alot of us were getting for free or almost free......lol so i am on the free tv plan, but fios is an attractive deal if i lived in 46808 zip code. or there abouts. <BR/><BR/>your right about dish tv it sucks like a big dog. trees, weather, phone calls you name it can mess it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
