Over the weekend, RCN decided to give locals a few more compelling reasons to not switch to one of those other carriers. A whole mess of new high-def stations appeared on the EPG, including a number of HBOs and premium channels and a handful of standard stations. We're talking MyNetworkTV (WPWR Chicago), Lifetime HD, ABC Family HD, Disney HD, Toon Disney HD, FOX News HD, FOX Business HD, ESPNews HD, Speed HD, NHL HD, Golf / Versus HD and all of the previously hinted-at premiums. Tap the read link for the full rundown, and get ready to spend some serious hours in front of the tube.[Thanks, Nick]

Comcast is crap... just beware of dealing with RCN, they can be a pain in the butt... my recent experience with them.

I recently saw RCN utility trucks running cable ALL over the south loop, seriously, like I saw multiple trucks on 4 streets standing in the same spot. I figured it had to be expansion of some-sort, and maybe this is part of it.

I'm part of the new roll out, pretty nice since the second change was not announced. My building was re-wired from top to bottom new by RCN (part of our deal to keep them instead of another company) and have to say made a difference in pic quality, just great! My neighbors with Comcast/Sat, not even close, really surprising! BUT price went up too!
