Two weeks ago, I was excited to learn from a Comcast rep that its rollout of Setanta in metro Atlanta, reported to have begun in early summer in some parts of north Atlanta, would reach my street in Decatur on September 15th. But now that I have Comcast, the local calling centers seem a little in the dark about this. The latest info I have is that Setanta is still not on-line anywhere in Atlanta, much less in any of the secondary roll-out locations. Anyone have any contrary info?
