Vacuum Tubes For Comcast
a: Comcast ~
b: receiving TV from an antique transmitter
What: "From experience, I know that cable reception from Comcast is like receiving TV from an antique transmitter in Communist China. After years with a satellite dish, we briefly went back to cable but were so disgusted with the picture quality (even using Comcast's most sophisticated digital and HDTV boxes) that we invested in another dish."

Hotel Comcast
a: Comcast ~
b: Hotel California

Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya
a: Comcast ~
b: Crazy person
What: "Here's how to drive Comcast crazy: Tell them you want internet only. When they ask how you'll get your TV, tell them OTA and through the internet connection that they will provide. When they ask about how you'll get your phone, tell them you'll use your cellphone and Skype. If they say that they can't do that, tell them you support net neutrality and ask them about their recent FCC probe. The poor bastard on the other end of your line won't know how to respond! Comcast has so many redundant services that I'm not sure how they keep their story straight."

Comcast Fresh Air
a: Comcast ~
b: a breath of fresh air
What: "I subscribe to Comcast cable TV with HD and all the bells and whistles, and also to their excellent high-speed Internet service connection which gives outstanding service. I live up north for a few months in the summer and have TV and Internet service from MetroMedia. Now there is a company from hell! Comcast is like a breath of fresh air when we return each fall."
