A blast from the past.

So starting on the 12th Comcast will start to re-brand it self as Xfinity in some markets, then move on to other markets. Really? I mean other then from 50Mbps to 100 there is no point. Then take in to account my overly analytical/thinking/what ever of a brain sees the name as this. Finite - a limited amount, subject to depletion. Infinity - an unlimited amount. So how I see it is that Comcast X'd out the "in" in infinity to say that their products are limited.... |

But what about X's significance as an anti, Aaron--what about it?!!?3lfdd ![]() When you X something, you're saying, 'no, that's not right.' X = No Xfinity = No Finity No Finity = Infinite And there you have it, folks, fighting overanalysis with overanalysis. =D |

Look at it the other way. They'd really be screwed if they didn't X out the "in" in infinity. Customer: By your name I assumed I would have an infinite number of television channels. Customer: By your name I assumed I would have an infinite amount of time to pay my bill. Customer: By your name I assumed I would be able to look at an infinite amount of porn on the Internet... Never mind, I do. |

Comcast was quite annoying when I used it. The name holds some risk, but also is kind of clever. I'm not so concerned about the name, but rather the service. |

Rebranding when there is no obvious need to do so seems very foolish for Comcast. |
