Ok, so to sum this up, correct me if Im wrong.
If you are in the bay area and have dsl, you can switch to the $29.99 cable modem internet deal described by the OP....
Correct?

I'm not sure if the 100-200gb invisible cap exists elsewhere, but i've downloaded >150GB for the month of february and this is about how much i download per month for over a year already and i havent encounter any problems.

you should read broadbandreports because someone who said they downloaded 60-65gig said they were cancel because they downloaded "too much".
Also there was an article saying comcast claims unlimited means no per minute charge not bandwidth.
Cox Cable has a cap of 30gig per month.
like i said, this is my personal experience. and i've downloaded that much. unless, ur reply was just to doubt my report. reading reports of ppl getting cancelled doesn't mean i'm getting cancelled too.

Yeah, this is no good without details. I pay $57.95 a month for internet access (no cable TV) through comcast... I think it's $42.95 with cable.

Comcast SUCKS!
I went in for the $20 for 6 months deal when I moved to Burlingame CA. mid last year. As soon as the promotion was over they bumped up our monthly to $60 per month since we didn't want to have cable TV. Ridiculous! I wonder if they are offering this now because of the fallout of customers (how many techno/genx/generation watch much TV anymore?).

this was specifically stated in every promotion they have. in fact their promotions have never stopped, just that it wasnt available to current subscribers. that's why my roommate and i usually trade off (whenever the promotion ends, either 6months, 3months so far)

Heya krunk!
Do they let you get the promotions even if you've taken advantage of a previous promotion?

i believe there's a 60day wait time. 60 days after u've stopped using their service, you can sign up for a new promotion. if you don't want to wait that 60 days, someone else in your household can sign up and u guys can just swap back and forth since most promotional prices last over 2 months.

From what I remember, they don't cap your cable modem, it's your line. But I could be wrong.

Comcast will come by tomorrow so hopefully they'll give me the Toshiba Modem and the caps will not apply!
Anyone tried this firmware?
Since there is no contract, i can cancel and go back to sbc anytime...
