Verizon isn't the only major cable provider walking with a bounce in its step in 2008, as Comcast's latest earnings report revealed that the company snagged 2.5 million new digital cable subscribers and $2.6 billion in net income during 2007. Also of note, it made sure we knew that 42-percent of its digital cable customers took advantage of "advanced services such as DVR and high-definition television" compared to 36-percent a year prior. Unfortunately, it failed to reveal exactly what percentage was [Via Light Reading, image courtesy of Thermocaster]
Yay, now maybe they won't increase rates for 2008! hahaha, that'll be the day.
Too late...
Those greedy bastards put notice in my latest monthly bill that rates are going up effective March.
Man I wish I could get DirecTV at my apartment... I hate Comcast.
Just keep in mind that if your DVR acts the slightest bit flakey, just pack it up that day and trade in the unit for a replacement.
