Not sure if everyone can get this deal since different comcast regions have different promotions......

I called 800 comcast and spoke to a rep.

So I got it. Took 10 minutes total on the phone.
I live in Philadelphia, PA for what it is worth.
Good luck ... though I am hoping FIOS comes soon here.

Not to crap....but all the cable providers offer LOW prices for the first few months. Then they jack up the rate.
Someone posted that the regular rate is $52.95!!
I pay $24.95 a month for DSL....period (1500/384). Heck, even 3000/768 is cheaper at $39.95. It is a flat rate that will not go up in a few months. There are some benefits to a DSL contract, fixed price. Better deal in the long run, IMO.

$52.95 is the regular rate for 8800/768. You can get 6600/384 for $42.95, thats twice the download speed of DSL's $39.95 service for only $3 more. Comcast will be increasing the price for cable TV services this year, but internet will remain the same.

Gah. I'm only paying $19/month for my comcast but the speeds are only roughly 512/80. Wish I could get faster speeds here.
