jcollie719The local news had a story about Comcast cable changing its name to Xfinity. It seems that Comcast has discovered its reputation is being tarnished, and the only solution is a name change. Gizmodo.com released 25 user-created ads promoting the new service, including the ones pictured below.

When I moved into my condo two years ago, I compared the prices for bundled cable/Internet/phone services provided by both Comcast and Qwest/DirecTV. Not only was Qwest/DirecTV about $30/month cheaper, but it offered more channels and better picture quality than I previously got with Comcast and its local predecessors.
