[Discussion] OT: My Lost Opportunity

[Gilbert D.]

Thomas,

I've had RCN "triple play" (HD video, Internet and phone) for about a
year now.  It is much more expensive (last bill was $184) for these
services (I get seven HBO and assorted other channels).  I like the
convenience of one bill for everything, but am seriously looking into
the "triple play" with Comcast as they are in the area (SF) and much
much cheaper.  I can't lose HBO as am addicted to "Entourage" and "Mind
of Mencia".

I don't use the phone much, but it has always worked for me (I use my
cell mostly as too many telemarketers don't seem to observe the "do not
call" list and anyone I really want to talk to has my cell #.

hth,

Gilbert
