Current Comcast High-Speed Internet Customers DEAL! Hot! Hot!

[mytechmafia]

If you are paying $45 a month for Comcast High Speed Internet, call them at 1-800-Comcast and ask if they could honor the $19.99/month deal for the next six months.

I was able to do it and save money on my car insurance...errr...internet service. Give it a try!

This is a big ol YMMV.

 

[mytechmafia]

I'm new...what is a YMMV?

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

These 10 minutes could save you $25 or more!

Your mileage may vary (YMMV). Basically means that you can try it out but don't expect the same results (depends on managers, customer service reps, etc.).

with things like this, it helps to threaten to switch to a dish or other alternatives. works great for cell phones too. and yes, the reps do just have a list of "deals" in front of them and can activate them at will. you just have to know how to get 'em to do it.

so, uh, yeah, def. a YMMV. but still good if it works

They won't give it to you if you had a promotion in the last month or something. At least not for me.

Normally, I start my conversation along the lines of "I'm thinking of switching to DTV because they have XYZ. What can you guys offer?"

DTV = DirecTV satellite

Just so you know you should say DSL instead if you're calling about Comcast high speed cable internet

 

[LordSnailz]

If you're successful, you should also post what state/area your from

:roll:

Ok. Don't repeat what I said word for word. Please note that you should also say something in place of "XYZ".

LOL!!!

You bastards. Stop calling in with this pointless crap. I have to deal with all the idiots who just came off promotions and can't handle paying another 20 bucks a month for internet.

 

[mytechmafia]

I don't know about everyone else, but as far as I am concerned we are all here to save money. What is why we are here right? My fellow tightwads, join me in the save money song!

 

[chronokefka]

Too bad it rarely ever works. If you even want a chance, threaten to disconnect and ask for a supervisor right off the bat. Keeps the call time down for us Tier 1.5 reps as well.

NM

 

[chronokefka]

Current comcast customers WITHOUT current Comcast HSI.
I'm just whining since I work as a ComCast internet tech support rep and have to deal with billing $hat all day anyway. Even better, there are no supervisors in today, yay!

 

[mytechmafia]

Maybe the Junior Tier 1.5 rep needs to brush up on his employers promotions...

You're right. After reading the fine print of the promotion it's for current comcast cable people W/O HSI. My bad.

 

[chronokefka]

I'm not saying that it is going to be impossible to get, but you are better off going right to a supervisor or to retention. As well, the odds of getting a save promo are higher if you haven't had any extensions or promos in the last 6 months.
And Baltimore is a nightmare to deal with billing-wise anyway. Promotional credits?

You are forgiven wicked witch of the north.

Wicked? Perhaps...but I'd be worse only if this crap paid better...I'm stuck with a crappy X700 in my new computer ;_;.

Hey...don't feel so bad. I am just about to get the strongest video card I have ever had: Radeon 9800Pro 128Mb.

lol...I've got 2 other computers.... a 2 year old Compaq 2197CA laptop and a K6-2 350Mhz with 384MB of PC166 ram. The K6 has no upgrade potential anymore(4MB onboard Rage3dPro)...and on the laptop, the proc seems to be epoxied to the case so I can't get it apart to clean it so it overheats with the wonderful 36C ambient temps here.
