Comet Cable Digital : The Wish

Well Comet Cable has been planning to go Digital for more than two years now. This is basically like one of those stories where they live happily ever after, the exception being that they are going digital forever.

Is the present management at Comet Cable not interested in upgrading to digital. Comet Cable is the pioneer cable tv company in sri lanka but it is in danger of loosing out to up and coming operators. There has been no impact made on the cable tv industry by the first player to the market.

We think the customers of Comet Cable have a right to know what is happening to the planned upgrade as well as the customers who have already been sold connection claiming that the digital service will be offered soon. Over to the management of Comet Cable.

How soon is soon?
