Tom, Comcast sounds a lot like Century Cable, a company that used to serve the San Francisco Bay area. CSPAN shared airspace with The Playboy Channel, which took over that channel every night at 6:00 p.m.--even when Congress was debating commencing with Desert Storm! That move brought howls of protest from Century's subscribers, but to no avail.

Century's service was lousy, its programming mediocre at best. Century reps managed to have one of our more mild-mannered city councilmen pounding his fists on his desk, in frustration, trying to get straight answers out of them at a city council meeting--ironically, broadcast by Century.

Century finally faded into oblivion or merged or was bought by some other company (maybe Comcast).

I am with Charter Cable now and am enormously pleased with it. - Holly
