Last night WCCO news did a piece (Bundling Options: Saving To Talk, Watch, Surf) that compared bundled cable, phone and Internet service packages from Comcast and Qwest. The reporter compared services, selections, and prices. Overall neither company seemed to leap ahead of the other.

I thought it was interesting to look at since it is the view that most Minnesota consumers will now have of their options. The reporter did allude to the proposed legislation on statewide cable franchising:

Qwest is trying to get permission to bring in cable lines to directly compete with Comcast. If approved by state legislators, those lines could also increase the Internet speeds.
