One of th reasons why they charge and arm and a leg is due to the NFLN. As for Verizon FIOS, well it's seems more affordable because it's heavily subsidized Verizon (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/19/a-bear-speaks-why-verizons-pricey-fios-bet-wont-pay-off/)! They're losing money in the hopes of establishing a customer base. Once that's happens you can bet your ass they'll charge you just as much as Comcast. No reason you can't enjoy it while the going is good though :cool-smil I will most certainly dump Comcast when FIOS becomse available in my area.

Well here in MD way before the NFLN, they charged an arm and a leg b/c they were the only game in town, especially if you lived away from Baltimore or DC. They bought out all of the local cable companies, and it was either them or DTV. Now that FIOS became available, they are losing customers left and right. And this will just add to that.

I fully agree that they've mistreated their customers. They're the only game in town in most places and are at times downright hostile to their customers (me included). Believe me, I have no love for Comcast but I also feel the same way about the NFL/NFLN.
