Everytime we go to the house there's an issue and someone in my family winds up on the phone with them. Sometimes it's an easy fix, but sometimes they have to send a technician. The technicians are good and helpful but the constant problems are ridiculous.

We have often talked about cutting or reducing our cable since we really watching Netflix most of the time anyway, but we haven't been ready to cut the cord just yet.<br /><br />I love how you took the batteries out, lol.

We've never regretted getting rid of ours. And Comcast can totally go to hell. We had to get them when we moved last summer and they've been nothing but a headache. They basically forced us to get cable by making it cheaper than internet only (which was all we wanted), and then they shut off our cable, so we pay for it but we don't really have it? Oh and of course they raise our bill every month for no reason.
