Comcast’s Customers Give The Cable Guy the Boot | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD

The problem: Comcast lost 233,000 basic cable subs; analysts had been expecting something closer to a 150,000-sub loss. More worrisome, the company added only 247,000 high-priced digital subscribers, which is less than half of what Wall Street was expecting.

And it wasn’t as if Comcast’s customers were ditching HBO and MTV and programming their own TVs via Web services like Hulu and Boxee, either: The company only added 184,000 high-speed data subscribers; Wall Street was looking for 250,000.

– No surprise. Consistently bad service, filtering internet content and lying about it. Establishing bandwidth caps as part of a protectionist business model to block alternative media like youtube and itunes. Worst HD quality of any provider -nobody who has a choice wants their service.
