Not a peep from Comcast or in any newspapers. If there’s another explanation I’d be interested in hearing about it. Anyone know?

It makes sense.

He said that Comcast had this capability for quite some time now and that they provided ‘professional courtesy’ to At&t to catch-up. Do I believe the installer? Hey why not?

No love for Oakland? I guess I shouldn’t complain. I’m still paying $33 a month for my Comcast data. I just keep calling them every 6 months and threaten to switch.

I am still upset by how digital cable was a step backwards from analog due to no channel surfing as well as the stupid high compression Comcast uses – lots and lots of jpeg artifacting! AT&T will find it hard to compete, sadly no uverse in 94041.
