The deal has been announced. The merger is not good for the consumer in the long run, net neutrality certainly won't benefit from there being less competition among cable, ISP providers.

Wow they both sucked separately, now they can suck as a single entity.

This is great news. I've always been a fan of Comcast and not so much a fan of Time Warner Cable.

Now I'm rooting for Netflix and Google to gobble up Comcast.

I am a current TWC customer. Is this a good thing?

Given that the DOJ didn’t allow ATT and T-Mobile, or Sprint and T-Mobile, there is no way they can approve this deal.

Comcast/Time Warner MERGER announced. This concerns the Milwaukee area especially.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

We are already checking into Uverse. Our TWC bill is outrageous and their CSRs are in India or somewhere. It is a hassle for internet due to the email address, so I am not sure when, but we will be going elsewhere.

Comcast’s Cohen lives in Philly...held HUGE fundraisers for him. This is a political favor if it goes through the FTC..

p.s. - I threw Comcast salespeople off my property because of their support for the “0”. I will NEVER use them.

Update: The honcho at Time Warner has been there 2 months. His compensation will be $80 million for those two months.

Comcast sucks so bad that they should not be buying anything. This company comcast needs to be dismantled or taken over and run by a person who possesses a brain.
