MD, right now we're with Comcast for television, internet (only option here for broadband) and phone, also. I think they give a pretty solid deal on the local/North America calls, so we'll stick with them for that. Internet, no choice.

As far as cable/HD goes, they can't compete with the sat. providers. Not even close. Not only does Directv give 70 HD channels (100 by beginning of next year), a lot of the channels that Comcast would normally charge for are standard (like Speed, etc). Fwiw, Comcast is only fees about 15-20 HD channels now. Couple that with some signal problems that Comcast isn't able to resolve, and the same price between it and Directv, and it's a no brainer.
