Hi...

I was wondering if anyone uses comcast as their phone/tv provider..

Any feedback would be great.

We use Comcast for cable and internet. The IP phone is not available in our area, as yet, unfortunately. No complaints.

Use Comcast for Internet, but their TV service in our area doesn't compare to DirecTV for choice and price.

The Internet service has been reliable and no problems.

I use Comcast for broadband, TV and phone. No problems so far.

Right on the money. I have Comcast for all 3 services, phone, cable and internet. The phone and internet services are outstanding but their cable T.V. programming and pricing are horrible. I used to have DIRECTV but had to cancel it because in my new house I'm two feet away from getting the single. DIRECTV has by far the best programming for the money.

I have had so many problems with comcast over the last 2 years. I still have them for cable and internet and vonage for our phone. I think a lot of our problems are because we live in an apartment building. Just be prepared with patience and for people who really don't know what they are doing. I haven't switched to any other provider because I think they are all the same.

I don't have them but I've heard horror stories from my coworkers who do.

Issues and problems could vary widely based on ones region.... I have had all three services and other than price... no issues.....

I've had all their services, mostly with no problem. In fact, one time the landlord of the apartment I was living in cut the cable, and Comcast came and repaired it for me for free even though they were supposed to charge me for it (and then I was supposed to try to get the landlord to reimburse me). But I agree that it varies from region to region. I know some people who have been miserable with their service.

Comcast's phone service is really good, but unless having great sound quality is important to you, I would just get a Skype phone. $99 for the phone, $36/year for unlimited calls to any phone in the US/Canada. It's not the best quality but since I use my cell phone primarily anyway it's the perfect solution for a land line for me. (I don't know how Vonage compares, maybe it's even better/cheaper.)

We also have the TV/internet/phone bundle. So far, the only downside is that when the power goes off, so goes your phone

We have the cable/internet/phone bundle as well - and agree with Len and Bren - if the cable goes down we have no phone service, however we have our cells for that. The phone quality is excellent - we used to have vonage and the sound quality deteriorated so badly that our friends told us to stop calling them - they would call us instead on our land line (we used it for local calls only) at their expense! So, we got rid of vonage and were dubious about Comcast's promise about clarity - but they have lived up to it.

Provided Comcast side stays up, which it probably will since they tend to have battery back up. You can get a UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) to run your modem and phone router on. It will probably cost $75 to $150 though.

We have Comcast for TV & Intenet. We use Vonage for phone, but my daughter has Comcast for phone (as well as TV & Computer) and likes it better than Vonage.

We have Comcast for the TV...have Quest for phone/internet. So far have had no probs with Comcast (fingers crossed)!
