First of all, to the moderators, why the heck did you delete my previous post?  You have no right to exercise censorship of customers for no reason.   This will be moved to corporate, copy included.  Who do you think you are?   Second, as I said previously, I wish I could cut the cord with Comcast.  Unfortunately, my community has a global deal with them that is going to tie me over for a while.  And what is worse, is that I actively participated in convincing people to agree to the deal.  Now, I feel responsible for the Bein debacle.     But, as I said, just wait until it comes to renew time for our global deal, Comcast is going to miss A TON of money every month.   p.s. Moderators, what's wrong with that post? ... View more

billmich88888   Your whole argumentation implies your assumption that the initial deal was fair in the first place and that all that extra money Bein wants now is unjustied.    That would be like me pressuming that when I got my first Comcast deal I was paying the fair price and when Comcast raised my rate 300% after a year, they were just beeing unreasonably greedy.   I know Comcast doesn't want to pay more, I don't want to pay Comcast more when my deals end, but I understand how initial deals work.  Bein came out of nothing, after GolTV, and they were very "generous" in the deal they gave Comcast and other cable companies.  Now, it's time for Comcast to stop taking advantage of them.  Because, that is exactly what Comcast does to its customers, after their deals end.  Be  reasonable, pay more.  If ALL other cable companies can do it, why not Comcast? ...

Negotiate in good faith?  ALL other cable companies have reached an agreement with BEIN.  Except you.  Aren't YOU the problem?  Take your own advice and NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH and GET THE DEAL DONE! ...

The Bloomberg reading is good. But, our present problem with Comcast not caring enough about their customers by wanting to offer them less product for the same price [like with Bein] is that although Comcast is dying, it will still take years before it becomes a purely internet/home-security company or whatever. In the mean time, the people working there will get to keep their well paid jobs by fleecing their remaining customers. They only care about themselves, not the company or their customers, and that means they only care about the short term.   That's why they have no problem lying that the previous deal with Bein was good. It was clearly an unfair deal done with a company that didn't have a slot in the lineup and wanted in, so they were there for the taking and Comcast, and other cable providers took advantage of them. Now, Bein insists on a more fair deal and Comcast is OUTRAGED.   That's the "logical" stance of a company whose executives only ask one question: What can we get away with in the short term? In the long term, it will be someone else's problem, if the company exists at all... ... View more

You are being disingenious, as usual.  Of course, Bein would want a substantially different deal than the previous one, since that one was a one-sided deal, in your favor, so that this new network would get a foothole in the lineup.  And after years of profiting, you pretend to be surprised that they would want a substantially better deal?  Thay have a good reason for it, as opposed to Comcast usually meritless increses to your customers.   Bein [Spanish] is one of my top ten watching channels period.  Why don't save money taking out some Latino Lineup useless channels NOBODY watches, I know them, and you know them, you have the data, and use that to pay Bein Spanish more?  What's so difficult?     I NEED Bein.  It CANNOT be replaced "searching for soccer" like you pretend, that is a very ignorant and disrespectfull thing to say.  It's like you tell a Yankees fan, that you don't offer their games anymore, but "no problem" they can search for other baseball games.  That is how stupid your suggestion is.  Bein has soccer rights that no other network has.  I pay you for that channel, GET IT! ...
