Comcast have just bought Sky Broadband for £30bil apparently. 

 

Swear to god if any other buyouts by Time Warner or Comcast happen over here for other Internet companies and they bring their shite business practices with them, i shall be very angry and do bad things.

 

Thoughts?

Comcast customer here. While the customer service sucks balls. Their network is solid in most cases. Just be ready for caps and overages. But they are currently upgrading their network to Docsis 3.1, in most areas they can offer 1 Gbps down 35 Mbps up.

Yeah... might have a solid network, don't fancy their daft caps and ridiculous charges for low speeds (from what I've read) though. What do you pay for yours ?

Thoughts? They're in for a massive world of pain if they try and bring in most of their US practices for Sky BB.

$64 for 150/10 and access to their streaming service. It was cheaper than internet only for $80.
