I had regular cable, but wanted to make the jump to HDTV and I learned that Comcast had juiced up every house on the street, except for the building I lived in. They flat out refused to fix it unless the landlord was willing to pay to have the sidewalks dug up. My landlord said no way and wouldn't even let me put DirecTV on the roof of the building so I ended up moving instead. I'm not sure how their techs managed to wire an entire city, but missed one building, but I'd bet that this is more common then Comcast would lead you to believe.
