Greetings Wikipedians! Two issues here: 1) The narrative part of this section seemed to be outdated. There was text about results from 5-10 years ago but nothing about more recent years. I deleted the outdated text and added a brief, non-judgmental summary of 2022, supported by citations. 2) A web site called "Simply Wall Street" is cited multiple times by prior editors. How do we know that web site is a reliable source? I'd prefer to see something written by a firm or publication that is closer to Misplaced Pages standards. The boilerplate on "Simply Wall Street" is not impressive: "Simply Wall Street Pty Ltd (ACN 600 056 611), is a Corporate Authorised Representative (Authorised Representative Number: 467183) of Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 337927)."

Considering how ] is separate from ], and the same with ] and ], I don't think it's far fetched to separate the ] service ], from the telecommunications and media parent company Comcast. ] (]) 04:23, 7 September 2012 (UTC) |

The Comcast logo was updated in early 2024 to include a reflection layer that's not represented here. The new SVG logo is available on Wikimedia Commons, can someone update this here? The correct version of the logo is reflected at https://corporate.comcast.com and at https://brand.comcast.com. |

:I take your point, but between the two examples that you gave and the Comcast–Xfinity relationship, there’s at least one significant difference which I believe justifies not splitting the article. That is that ''Verizon FiOS'' and ''AT&T U-verse'' are brands used specifically for services delivered by way of the respective companies’ fiber-optic networks. At the risk of being snide, ''Xfinity'' is just a different name for services that are similar to those that were branded ''Comcast'', delivered through essentially the same network. |

== Control 75% of cable market? == |

I recently removed the claim from the Lead section of the article that the Time Warner acquisition would give Comcast control of up to 75% of the cable market. I'm having trouble finding a good source for that. Plenty shows up in Google, but not enough to convince me that it's not a mistake propagated with the help of Misplaced Pages. given in the article didn't say anything about 75%, and seemed to give the number as 30%, as did a NYTimes piece I read the other day. Does anybody know anything about this who could clear up the issue? The claim was added in edit by ].

Thanks, yes I took the 75% as being commonly known. In any event livemint.com and The Wall Street Journal used the following reference which I believe I picked up from a Reuters article: “A tie-up between Comcast and Time Warner Cable would face tough scrutiny from the Federal Communications Commission,” Craig Moffett, an analyst at MoffettNathanson LLC, said in an interview in January. The merged company would account for almost three-quarters of the cable industry, according to the National Cable Television Association. |

The key is the second sentence, the NCTA being the trade association for the U.S. cable industry. Unfortunately I haven't been able to detect any reference to the Comcast/Time Warner deal on NCTA's website so I agree it would be a stretch to sustain the 75% claim without a direct quote or reference from the apparent source of the information. ] <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added 14:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
