Comcast. At least my Sony CRT doesn't cut in and out for no reason. $50 a month for digital cable and the quality is worse than basic cable. Over the summer they had commercials featuring former dish owners complaining about signal interruption and how great comcast was. Its all BS because my cable signal cuts in and out, and gets pixelated all the time. Thanks Scamcast, for high prices and terrible products.

Comcast? Comcast! Eat their brains (or don't that might lowwer your I.Q.)! They bought TechTV and merged it with G4 on a channel I don't get. That's pretty much my only gripe but I'll hold that grudge since they're not so good at digital cable either.

why TF is Sony included in that round? The rootkit? SONY BMG is the one responsible with that mess.

SONY BMG is like SONY ERICSON... they are a joint company.
See here: link

And Sony is the most trusted and well known company.

To be honest, I have had no problem with either company's service or products, at least when I've dealt with them.

I've had all kinds of issues with Cingular, Verizon, Microsoft, Dell, Hotwire Communications (how I loathe them)

But ironicly (I guess, since they made this article) not Sony or Comcast. Had no products fail or malfunction from the former, and had no problems with service or support from the ladder.

It's the name my parents alone just hear the name Sony and they think it's quality but that's only a few of their products; others are easily beaten by competitors like Samsung, and Panasonic.

okay... how about this:

1. sony claimed the CGI movie of Killzone 2 was "in game footage" only to be discovered later they lied.

2. sony created fictitious movie reviewer to give their movie a great rating.... only to be found out later, no such reviewer existed.

3. sony claimed GT4 would be "online" up to the point when people preordered the game on this information...only to find out later they lied about the online capability, but didn't come clean until about 3 weeks before it shipped.

4. sony claimed a partnership with AOL for their online gaming network thus creating an "xbox live killer".... but later was found out the partnership had never gone so far as terms of agreement.

5. sony denied any problems with the ps2 until, they were sued and lost....

those were just off the top of my head...

Becasue they trust Sony Products... So if your parents bought a Sony Bravia LCD HDTV because of the sony brand. Did they make a mistake, No. Because Sony Bravia's are the best LCD tvs right now.

And that isn't trust? lol Sony also won the best brand last year. Who is consumerist again? Never heard of that site until now. I guess their opinion matters in system wars now.

Honestly, what is so bad about Sony? All companies generally do stupid things but I've personally had no problems with Sony. No problems with Walkmans, TV's, PlayStations, Phones etc.

I love Comcast. I dropped Verizon DSL at 30 bucks a month just to reinstate my services to Comcast Cable simply due to how reliable and fast it was. I know it sounds like a paid testimonial, but comcast at least in my area has been nothing but flawless for TV and Internet.

Most of Sony's product have been second rate lately. Some of their new TVs are fairly good, but they've been in the gutter for awhile.

Any list of worst companies that doesn't include Northwest Airlines loses all credibility.  They included United but they are actually far better than Delta, Northest, and US Airways/America West.


For all the talk of Sony losing money with the PS3 you have to realize that Northwest posted a $2.8 Billion loss for 2006.  That's insane.

comcast, i pay more for less channels than i had when i first got them. luckily, i live close enough to verizon to get 3 Mbps for the same price as 1.5, so i don't have to pay cable internet prices.

Ya, all airlines (even Southwest) received bailout money after 9/11. Northwest, along with Delta, didn't use it wisely and now find themselves in bankruptcy.
