Geez, can you like a company less than Comcast, I’m not sure how. Basically, they told me that the 1Gbps plan and that this included the $30/month unlimited data cap plan so that was a pretty good deal. However, while this worked for a month and then they removed the cap and didn’t tell anyone, […]

Dealing with Broadband in Seattle and paying $30 to avoid data charges. Argh!
Well we are unlucky enough to live in a part of Seattle where Comcast has a monopoly. Literally across the street, CenturyLink has gigabit fiber and about a mile away, Wave and Centurylink are duking it out. So there are three problems with getting a great price: Comcast always bundles things and they definitely do […]

Wow, they are such a piece of work. First of all during this COVID-19 thing, suddenly the bill rises 40% without any notification (I’m sure I rolled off of some plan).

Olympic heaven
I’m completely addicted right now. First, Comcast has HD Olympics live on USA channel and KOMO-TV which are channels 660 and 105. With a DVR, it is nearly perfect, but with “NBCOlympics.com”:http://nbcolympics.com, you can watch four different events live. I’m going to be up all night! The best are the “live”:http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/live/index.html feeds and the mode […]

Bluray has won, now what?
I’ve paid no attention to home theaters for the last four years (really!) because there has been a major format war between HD DVD and Blu Ray and more over I can’t imagine throwing away the gigantic 200 kg 72″ rear projection TV monster I have, but with HD DVD dying this February and so […]

Some […]
