Hi-def comes to those who wait
Posted by Biffster in Miscellany on May 8th, 2006
We switched our cable tv service from Comcast to Qwest last year to save some money ( a good $50 per month), and for the most part we were very pleased with the service. Qwest offered us digital cable, DSL, local phone service and unlimited long-distance service for less money than Comcast was charging us for just digital cable and internet. The one thing I had to give up was HDTV. Qwest’s digital tv service (Qwest Choice) did not offer HDTV. The money was worth it, so we’ve done without hi-def for the better part of a year.
Fortunately, Qwest is now enabling HDTV on Qwest Choice! It’s an extra $15 a month, which is a little bit pricy, but we still end up saving $35 a month over using Comcast, so I’m not complaining too much. The Qwest installer is coming this Friday: Friday evening I’ll finally be able to enjoy the awesomeness of my hi-def set!
