Comcast - Cable Company —

When we moved to this small town I didn't take in to account that we would only have one option for cable and cable modem services. At first we thought that it would be pretty cool to have phone, cable and internet all under the same company with a great sign up bonus of 1 year for $99 a month. Then after missed calls, late messages and the special ended, we thought that maybe we weren't getting a deal after all. Now we pay $140 a month for these 3 services and we don't even get HBO or showtime! Plus we have constant problems with the phone service. Unfortunately, due to the size of the town we live in, we don't have any other options. I would say that comcast is average in services.

You are welcome. I told them that AT&T is offering 3 services for $99 and they needed to match that! ;-)

Thanks for the information - I am going to give them a call and see if they will lower our bill too!

I am going to check in to AT&T again in a couple of months. Right now they don't have all of the services. Thanks for the info!

I am not a fan of Comcast. I had TimeWarner and now it's Comcast. I did call and complain that my bill was way too high. I too do not have HBO, Showtime or any movie channels. I have the digital phone, cable, internet and alarm. They raised my rates to $167/mo and I called and they lowered it to $124. That's a huge savings to me. I really do not like them!

We too have only one cable provider,Charter. We did however find out that ATT has all three services for about twenty dollars less.We were very happy with this until they double charged us on the phone.

I do to, and soon, here, the electric company will have fiber-optic internet! woo-hoo!!

When they know people have few or no options they seem to take advantage of it. Ron

Ditto! Jo

I feel your frustration. For many years, we had no option but Comcast. Finally, we have some different options and we've switched. Been much happier with the monthly bill since!
